So the countdown to Christmas begins. If you haven’t heard me say it already, I LOVE this time of year! It’s chaotic and busy and exhausting, but I enjoy every crazy second of it.

The great thing about running a race distance for the first time? No matter how bad, or good, you do–it’s a personal best! I headed to Florence Friday afternoon with several girls from church to carb-load and stay at the hotel where the race starts.

Chickens came to our farm yesterday. We actually went and picked them up from my cousin Moranda and her son, Bryson. The girls were so thrilled! They wanted to get everything just right last night, but all we really had time to do was throw them in the house before heading out to soccer practice. So today, the girls and I got out there are did a little work. First.. Read More
The past few nights, we have been working on a new bedtime routine for the girls. I have always curled up in bed with them until they fell asleep, which sometimes could take a full hour. Well now, we read a book, say our prayers, and then I tuck them into bed and leave. Things went pretty well the first few nights, but about three nights ago, K started getting very.. Read More
