Carnival night in Jamaica consisted of an awesome parade, complete with a band and all the Sesame Street characters! After the parade they had a bounce house rock climbing wall and bull riding station set up. Both Parker and SJ were completely terrified of both. They wanted no part. But Bents?

We are officially on our Jamaican vacation (day 5 to be exact). We've been talking about this trip for MONTHS so it's fun that we are finally here! Our first time taking the boys out of country and to the Caribbean. We taught them to say "Ya' Mon" before we got here and it's the first thing they

For those of you who don't know, earlier this year I set out on a journey to get healthy and fit. I have always believed in going to a gym over working out from home. Lie #1. I told myself that I couldn't stay motivated on my own at home. Except then, you know what happened? I couldn't find

It never fails, as soon as we open the pool...the boys want to be in it. It doesn't matter what the water temperature is, what the outdoor temperature is, whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring or whether it's even been cleaned...they will argue "you should let us swimmmmmmm!" until I

It seems like lately, life has been flashing right before my eyes. I am genuinely so good about capturing memories of the boys (maybe too good) and really bad about taking the time to post about them. It seems like with Marriage More and Happy Mommy Box, I have less and less time to write here.

I quietly snuck off to the bedroom in hopes that my husband wouldn't notice I had gone missing. It was night #1 of our daily prayer challenge and I was feeling extremely uncomfortable. I thought maybe if I just nonchalantly climb into bed and fall asleep? I can pretend that it was by

I'm choosing to celebrate the small wins these days. Like the fact that my kids are wearing something besides sports attire for once. Like the fact that we made it to our Easter bunny breakfast on time (6 minutes early actually). Like the fact that we got to spend our morning with great

It's been fun this week connecting with so many other boy moms (and girl moms too). One thing I have learned about parenting is that whether you are a boy mom or girl mom... we all share in the same struggles and joys. Being able to hear other women say, "I know exactly what you are going

Seven straight days of sex, in the books. Maybe you're a newlywed, maybe you don't have kids, maybe you are extremely good at finding time to make love to your spouse. Or maybe you're like us and you struggle to find the time and energy to fit it in your schedule. We love each other, there's no
