Now that we have set out on this mission of eating "cleaner" {and I say cleaner because I, by no means, am vowing to eat completely clean}, the kids have been doing much better than I expected. Of course, we haven't completely changed their diets. I did have to get them ice cream and french fries

*I wrote this post over a week ago in case you are confused on the dates of the text messages. Haha! On our way to church on Sunday my husband said to me, "I really think we need to eat healthier as a family." It was one of those light bulb moments. Not because I hadn't already thought of it.

  Last week, THIS stool and I...we had a collision. A pretty bad collision actually. I think we have one of the kiddos to thank for our nice "foot meet stool - stool meet foot" collision. The stool somehow landed on top of my foot. But, not just a casual "Oh I'm falling over and about to

  Do you ever give your kids a hodge podge of stuff for breakfast? Tell me you do. Even if you don't...please...tell me I am not the only one. Bents is a picky eater just like his older brother. He is also very very very dead set on what HE wants. If you don't let him choose his breakfast,

You know what my LEAST favorite form of exercise was up until 8 weeks ago? Yep. Running. I HATED running. I would rather fold laundry. Clean dishes. Change dirty diapers. I have no idea what the heck inspired me to start running. I mean, I did put "run a 5k" on my bucket list, but I didn't

  This is gonna be short because I'm typing with one hand. I have been recovering from my finger surgery so sorry for the lack of blogging. Functioning with one hand (and 3 kids) has sucked! I had a dupuytren contracture on my left ring finger. Basically something that is 10X's more likely
