Do self, do self.” As the mother of a 2-year-old, that’s a phrase I hear almost daily, and for many parents, that phrase is representative of the developmental stage we’ve either experienced or heard about, and have come to dread— the terrible twos. Translation: “I want to do it myself.” I know for […]
How We Road Trip with a 2-Year-Old
With the holiday season in full swing, I imagine there’ll be lots of traveling going on. For our family, it’ll be just the opposite. We spent Thanksgiving here in North Carolina, and we’ll be doing the same for Christmas and the New Year as the countdown to Baby Number 2’s arrival begins. That being said, […]
Our Anniversary Weekend Getaway
I sat in the passenger’s seat of the car, bawling and completely unable to get a word out. I was amazed at what had just happened. DJ sat there in the driver’s seat, with tears streaming down his face. “I’m so grateful for you. You’re my wife, my best friend, my spiritual partner, the […]
Why My Husband Turned Down a $300,000-A-Year Job!!!
So…how did it go?” I eagerly asked. My husband had just finished his second interview for a position to which he had recently applied.

We Moved to North Carolina and The Feds Seized Our Money!
What’s wrong?” I asked. I looked at my husband as he sat on the floor of our closet, surrounded by clothes and shoes. I had just run upstairs to check on him since I hadn’t heard from him in a while. Micah was downstairs eating his dinner. He looked at me with a strange look […]
New Things and Impossible Dreams
Ever since my husband and I met at the tender young ages of 17 and 18, we’ve always had the amazing ability to talk to each other for hours on end (Read about how we met here). Our personal best was over 9 hours spent on the phone, talking until the sun came up around […]
Our Anniversary Trip to Cabo!
For the past two weeks, I haven’t written and I apologize! Hubby and I were celebrating our anniversary, and it took some time to recover. That being said, I’m excited to tell you all about it! DJ and I recently came upon three years of marriage and nine years of being together. My sweet mama […]
