Family

There must be something about my cool, calm and collected demeanor that Adam must feel I have things under control or something. Not! The fact that he comes home to a disheveled, stressed, frantic wife who throws her children at him doesn’t seem to raise any flags. Otherwise he would not even consider leaving this state yet again (that would […]

I’ve been known to say that it took me a solid 3-6 months to get the whole baby thing the first time around.

We packed especially light… Manuevered the airport seamlessly… Took in scenic views… We spent lazy mornings in bed… We spent days being pampered… And constantly got along… There were tons of opportunities to capture my beautiful family of five… All in all, though, we had a great time and I had […]

Tomorrow I am doing the unthinkable. I’m providing a whole plane full of people a reason to use birth control. I am taking three children on an airplane!!! I’m excited to get away from the craziness of our real life. It’s not that taking three kids who completely and totally thrive on routine and their comfort zone world isn’t crazy. […]
