his name….and the home stretch

It occurred to me today that we hadn’t yet shared the name we’ve chosen for our baby boy. We made a decision quite some time ago, I’m not sure why I haven’t shared yet. Jonah Reid. We love it. We love him. And we can’t wait to meet him.

This pregnancy has flown by. It’s hard to believe we are sitting at 35+ weeks right now. Out of all the kids, this pregnancy has, by far, been the easiest. No sickness, less pain, just….easier. Of course I’m to the point now where I am over the duration of this Texas heat, beyond uncomfortable and just ready to be done sharing my body. […]

constant morphing house

Our house is constantly morphing. We need and require so many things out of it. It’s a constant struggle to find the space and make it work well. Add in a new baby, a 7 year old who needed her own space and room, running three businesses out of it, a husband who works from home one day a week AND homeschooling….our house has a lot of requirements for it to function well with 5, almost 6, people.

A few months ago we decided I’d give up my dedicated office to give Taryn her own room. She and Teagan have shared for a few years and it has been great. But when both kids started homeschooling, that was suddenly a LOT […]

Duder drew this picture of what our family will look like once the baby arrives. Our family of 6. It cracks me up that Ty is the tall one with uber long legs. I hugged Ty the other day and the top of my head suddenly fit under his chin. When did that happen?!?! Holy growth spurt Ty!

Yum! Grass fed beef burger, raw milk cheese, bacon, avocado and salsa. All organic. Sooooooo good. And already gone. And I didn’t share a single bite with the kids, even though they asked.

You know you are really pregnant when you find the time to blog and you choose to talk about food over the latest cute thing your kid did. Guilty.

1. My girl turned 7. Crazy. I’ll blog about it soon since I finally took her out for her birthday photos.

2.After waiting and waiting and waiting some more…..my girl *finally* has her very first loose tooth!! This discovery lit up her face like the 4th of July. I can’t blame her, she’s stood back and watched all her friends and former classmates lose their teeth one by one. It is finally her turn! She’s mixed with 999 parts excitement, 1 part anxiety.

3. Overheard last week. Yeah, the definition of hot date has definitely changed.

Me: Want to meet for a hot lunch date?
The husband: Are our kids gonna be there?
Me: […]
