Life is good, and hard and everything it should be. I am married to a righteous, humble, funny, handsome, loving, amazing man who loves every ounce of me and his children. I have yet to see him really get mad, and think he is the most Christ like person I know.
We are the parents of 4 children: a 15 year old son, Parker, twin 12 year old daughters, Addie and Berklie, and an 8 year old, Corbett (whose name is my maiden name). I love being a mother. I love everything about it, yes even the difficult and crazy times when I go to bed feeling like a failure. I love cuddling cheek to cheek with my youngest. I love laughing with my children, starting traditions, instilling morals and faith in their impressionable hearts. I love relying on the Savior to help me do so and seeing their eyes glisten when they have felt and recognized His loving hand in their lives. I love parenting with my husband who is the best parenting partner I could have.
I really enjoy blogging and have found it a great outlet in sharing, writing, pondering, and recording aspects of my life. I love to read and find sitting in the tub with a good book to be some of my most theraputic, relaxing times. I love to bake and cook and eat, mostly treats which doesn't always sit well on the 40 year old waistline. :) I love to exercise, something I would have never though I would say a few years ago. Along with exercize I thoroughly enjoy tennis and don't get to play it nearly as much as I would like. Other hobbies include: decorating my home, going on date nights with my hubby, sitting by our fire pit roasting smores with our children, laughing hard and loud, enjoying a good girls night, learning, singing, dancing, and being silly.
I am an avid planner and use my paper planner to keep my life in order and make sure we are where we need to be when we need to be there. I don't know if I will every go paperless where this is concerned. As little toddlers my children were known to chase me out to the car carrying my planner hollering "mommy you forgot your planner!" as we loaded up to go somewhere. I love planning, everything from my weekly agenda, to my weekly food menu, to Friends Fridays, to Family Fun Nights, to Family Home Evenings, to parties, to holidays, to goals, to sleeping and breathing. Ha! Just kidding on the last two! I love to see things crossed off so my pages of completion look like war zones on paper.
My biggest loves are my family and my faith and feel you won't know about me until you know about them. You can read more about my beliefs under my "What I Believe" section, and you will hear all about my family as you join me in my daily efforts to keep my little world wonderful!
