C’s 2 Year Old Finding Nemo Birthday
Caleb will be 5 in a couple of months. As I look through these pictures, my heart aches only the way a mother’s can. How did I not know this was a thing until I was a mom- the pain of wanting to hold on and let go at the same time? D was 6 months and still waking up…

3 year Old’s Wish List- 100 Purposeful Ideas from a Mom of Three
(I would put a 3 year old picture of our littlest man too, but he’s only 15 months old at this time). We have had three boys in a little over three years, so to say we’ve been gifted many gifts for boys ages 3 and under would be an understatement! We are so thankful for our generous friends and…

D’s Daniel Tiger Birthday
I am so incredibly thankful for PBS’s Daniel Tiger. Seriously. With 3 little ones at home, I have been so very grateful for a show that the older two can watch occasionally (or maybe a little too much lately) while I tend to their baby brother.
