Gone Hunting
While Aaron was away at deer camp over the weekend the boys and I headed west to visit my family. Driving back home yesterday I knew we were in Wisconsin when I saw several vehicles driving on the highway with deer strapped to their cars and hooves flailing. The long weekend flew by as it always does and although saying goodbye is never easy, I left with a heart filled with gratitude for the time and memories we had. Such a blessing to be able to visit with relatives whom we don't often see. We also were able to meet my new beautiful baby niece, which made the boys and I even more excited for the arrival of our ... view the post
3 Under $30, Maternity Wear
In the past every time I found out I was pregnant I instantly started looking at maternity clothes. Even when I was only 6 weeks along! Waiting in excitement for the day to finally be able to wear them.

The last reason limits my selection the most as I won't ... view the post
Homemade Coat Rack
We have been doing a bit of nesting around here, my husband included. All of a sudden our garage is insulated and will be sheet-rocked before long! While I was on bed rest I made up great to do lists from the couch and am now set on a mission to accomplish everything. Of course I feel like I have to do it in one weeks time! Although I am not very crafty you may find me posting a bit more DIY than the usual next to nothing. First up is this beautiful little wall mount coat rack that I absolutely adore. Our entry way from the garage is a tight space, so I am not able to do a preferred set up of cubbies and coat hooks ... view the post
Third Trimester!
I made it, I am officially in my third trimester!! I realize I sound like a broken record, but I still find myself in complete shock and amazement that this is actually happening. Nothing is impossible with God!! Yet, how real it truly is as my little gal reminds me frequently throughout the day of her presence as she bounces around so much that I can watch my stomach move. Truly a miracle!! Of course as soon as I call for Aaron and the boys her show is over, leaving her brothers disappointed yet again that they still have not been able to feel her move. So far I have been feeling pretty good with the ... view the post
