I promise you that I plan to do one BIG review post on our Jamaica trip, but for now... I have to keep sharing the photos. Because.there.are.so.many. I love to take pictures. I totally get that from my mom. Hilariously enough, I used to say, "Mom, seriously...enough with the pictures." Ohhhhh how

This post is written by Laura Loewen. When Laura approached us about sharing her experience with almost having an affair, we knew we had to share it with you. I love her transparency and how she has a heart for truly helping couples avoid the same situations she was faced with. I think so many

One thing I didn't expect on this vacation is that my kids would make such great friends with other kids. The first day we were here we met another family from Rhode Island who had a little boy and little girl, Noah and Lillianna. Our kids were connected at the hip from the second they

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

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

There's nothing I want more out of our marriage than for my wife to know how much I love her. And if I'm being honest, it's an area that I struggle with at times. Running multiple businesses, three wildly active (but totally normal) boys and that crazy thing called "life" often interfere with

One of the things I absolutely love about working from home and running my own business is that my kids see a strong work ethic in me. On the flip side, one thing that I despise about working from home and running my own business is that my kids see me working. A LOT. My work day doesn't

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.

Just ask my husband, I used to proclaim that I would absolutely NEVER like protein shakes. Ewww. Gross. Puke. No way.  Pretty much how in college I claimed I would never drive a minivan. Like never ever ever. (---> Andddddd then I had kids). Proud minivan owner since 2011. What
