I first wrote about our journey through infertility last year for the Quad City Moms Blog. For the past year we have journeyed again down the same road trying for baby number two- without success. This time around has been different. I know I can become pregnant. I’m busy chasing after a 23 month old. And [...]

Ellie’s Mommy Makeover
I needed a makeover. Of that, there was no doubt. I have worn my hair in a ponytail for over a month straight. I was feeling blah and I was ready to feel like a beautiful wife again. I decided to get in touch with Fusion Salon and Spa. I met with Mandy DeVries for [...]
Letting Go
I have been battling tendinitis in my arms for quite a while now. I guess it’s beside the point how I got it (pretty much self – inflicted) but having tendinitis has forced me to slow down. A lot. My tendinitis reached a new low about six weeks ago. Until that point, I was still [...]
Finding Balance
It’s official! School has begun, the temps are cooling slightly, and Moms everywhere have begun keeping track of new school schedules and new routines. I’m also working on our fall schedule and have been pondering which decisions to make. I need to stop procrastinating and choose. I need to find some balance in my week. I’m [...]
A Simple Vow Renewal
On July 6, 2012, the Huzz and I celebrated ten years of marriage!!! I told the Huzz before we even married that every ten years I wanted to renew our vows. I wasn’t sure if we’d really do it, but I’m so glad we did! We had a private ceremony at Harvest Bible Chapel [...]
Bag of Tricks
My daughter SG is 19 months and quickly approaching her second year of life. You know what they say about the 2’s…. Well, SG has started to assert her will and find her voice. This has brought about some changes and made me realize I need to carry around a bag of tricks with me [...]
Living with Food Allergies
It’s hard dealing with food allergies. I won’t lie. I have a nickel allergy and can’t eat canned food, the Huzz is lactose intolerant, and SG is allergic to milk and eggs. But let’s put the Huzz and me aside and talk about my precious baby’s allergies. We knew SG was allergic to milk because [...]
Easy Summertime Recipes
School is out, the sun is shining, and that means one thing…it’s time to grill! I have two of our most loved recipes to share with you. Here’s an easy recipe for marinating chicken or pork. I found it in a magazine a few years ago and have adapted it to suit our taste. Lemon [...]
My Favorite Date Night Hot Spots
I have not been paid to write about these restaurants. I just love them so much that I couldn’t resist blogging about them! We have a date night three times a month. Almost every week! We’ve deemed it crucial for our relationship. We love our precious daughter, but need this time to reconnect without any [...]
In My Daughter’s Eyes
I’m the mother of a beautiful, busy 16 month old. Everyday SG is trying to do new things and she amazes me each day! I’ve recently noticed something- something that has made me stop and think. SG is becoming my little copycat. She does what I do and she sounds exactly like me! Sweet, but [...]
