Tis the Season...


We had a fun weekend. On December 6th, we have been married for 5 years! Wow...seems like a long time. We went to Chili's for lunch, Dairy Queen for dinner and rented a couple movies. We also went and got a real Christmas tree. This will be the first year that we haven't had an artificial one. We were only able to put lights on it so far...but we will finish decorating it soon. I think we need more lights first. Not only did we start setting up for Christmas...it snowed on Monday and really made us feel like Christmas was coming. This year is really different, I don't really want anything under the tree. We are just so excited about having our baby girl that everything else seems less important. I wonder how Mary felt when she knew she was giving birth to the Savior? This year seems very special and I cannot wait to meet our little girl. I am so anxious and happy!

We got our tree at Home Depot! There weren't a lot of places and I didn't want to hike the forest for one.
Can't wait to see you Joi! Yipee!

No Excuses

June's Cooking Show! June always wants to cook and has been begging me to film her cooking. I had a million excuses, but I decided that June didn't care that she was in her jammies. She didn't care that the kitchen had bad lighting. She didn't even care what she made. She just wanted to have her mom film a video of her cooking in the kitchen (like she loves to do with me). So, with my IPhone in hand and all those excuses that I created I threw them out the window and decided to STEP UP and be the mom she wants and needs. We made the first video in 2017 and she loved it so much. We got busy and made more excuses. June didn't give up though. She wanted to do another video. So, on a school night I wanted to make banana bread and decided that we are already making it, so I might as well let June make it and film it. June loves to cook and watching her video's. I love her so much and I want her to do the things that she loves to do, so, I will continue to not ma...

Eternal Role

Today's Family: The Eternal Role of Mothers click on link to read the article http://www.lds.org/study/prophets-speak-today/unto-all-the-world/the-eternal-role-of-mothers?lang=eng I love this paragraph about mothers. "Among the most important roles of a mother is the call to nurture, Elder Ballard says. “A mother’s nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experienced in their pre-mortal existence,” he declares. “Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us.”" "Mommy, I love you!", Cheryl says as she wakes me up at 6:30 in the morning. "I love you too, honey", I say, as I hug her tight and never want to let her go. I will take those moments any chance I get, whether it's 6:30 in the morning or in the middle of the night while I am sick and holding my sick child. I have never felt that I truly found my...

Homemade Diaper Bag

I finally made a diaper bag for myself to replace the nasty old one I had. I am so far loving it a ton. I went from a pattern at first then scraped it and did my own design. I am happy with the result and now I am contemplating on making more and selling them. XOXO-Erin
