Countdown to 30

Yes that's right! These are the last moments of my twenties. I'm coming upon my 30th birthday at the end of April and I have decided to embrace it.
I am excited and have never felt better.

So here is to the last 30 days before I turn 30 and to bidding goodbye to my fabulous 20's.
Maybe I will go get a massage...

I recently spent 10 days at my brothers house in Ohio helping him take care of things while his wife was gone, including their 5 kids + Blake.
I had a few different than my normal day experiences while I was there AND, I learned a few things a long the way. All while having a blast with my niece and nephews.


Bedtime came a whole lot earlier for me. My body was out of order by 10pm!

Costco seems to make more sense (a family of 3 just can't eat that much broccoli before it goes bad).

Timing was very important when it came to taking a hot shower.

Laundry is just a whole different ball game...

Despite the broken pickle jar in the middle of the isle and the fact that I just couldn't turn the shopping cart with that many kids hanging off of it, the trip to the grocery store turned out to be NOT so bad.

The fact is that being a parent takes a lot of patients, sacrifice, love and a whole lot of luck. Which sometimes comes so easy and pretty much effortless, but other times it may be forced or even barely there. But there is nothing more fulfilling than seeing them accomplish something new and grow into someone great.

Even on days like this, when those precious moments come, nothing can replace the joy you find inside a Mother.


I say thank you to my parents who cared, loved and sacrificed so much for me and still do...

I love you guys!
