Self Reflection
I have been doing some self reflecting. I’m not sure if that’s smart or not. I have really been wrestling lately with feeling abnormal(as in having an abnormal lifestyle). I have been talking it through with Brandon. All my life I envisioned this time(the present) looking very different than what it does. I thought I…

Healthy Again
I think there should be a rule against mom’s getting sick. It’s the worst. It’s hard enough trying to take care of everyone and stay on top of housework on a regular day. Throw in there two sick days, and it feels impossible to catch up. Brandon kept the children alive. But.that.is.it. And now here…

Crazy Week
It has been quite a week. I won’t go into detail, but take my word for it. It has been one of the most exhausting and stressful weeks. Brandon has been amazing. He has been helping and taking kids pretty much every day this week. He took Caed to work with him one day for…

I’m Tired of Titling These Things
How was that for a blunt beginning? Honestly, I don’t have enough brain power left at the end of the day to come up with new titles each blog. So last Friday I get a call from Brandon, “pack up we are headed to Frankenmuth after work.” I can’t say I handled it totally wonderful,…

Last Week
After the ice storm, things settled down. We never did lose power. We were all at peace knowing Brandon was home and available to take care of things. He was able to delay his trip a day and still make his business meeting. It all worked out great. We had a pretty low key week.…

Ice Storm
We managed to make it through the ice storm without losing power. I know the reason….we have a generator. Around 1.5 years ago we lost electricity about 30 times. It was becoming a weekly thing. Our basement will fill up with water in 30 minutes tops, when the sump pump turns off during a power…

Troy, MI
A couple months ago we went to Troy, MI for a little getaway. It was perfect. Obviously, it wasn’t too far from us, but just far enough away that it felt refreshing. We decided to go again. This Winter has been tough. Our driveway is a solid sheet of ice. Every time we walk out…

Catching Up
Brandon mentioned to me yesterday “you should probably blog or you’re going to lose all the fans.” 🤣 He is hilarious. Fans? I should also mention he hates when I blog and asks the entire time(like the 5th child) “Are you done yet?” I have figured out he loves reading these things. He wants…

Cabin Fever
Here I am already, just a couple days later, feeling cabin fever. I’ve realized something. It’s definitely harder for me to stay home all day then load up and go somewhere. I love going places. I especially love going places when I don’t have to pack anything. Day time outings are the best. I think…

Busy, Long Weekend
We made it back home late Wednesday. Before the business trip plans were made, we had made plans to meet up with some friends at Splash Village. Splash Village is an indoor water park in Frankenmuth, MI. It’s a great Winter acitivity. We’ve gone every year for the last five years. Thursday morning Brandon ran…
