Dabbling in family photos as a blended family…
We have never done family photos. I know families that do them every year. I think that they always just felt like too much work at the time or something. We did photos with my husband’s kids when we got engaged about 11 years ago. They turned out really great and I’m glad we did…

Dabbling in Martial Arts…
“Hmmm…that looks like fun…I want to try.” This is how most of my adventures start. I see something on TV, or watch someone I know doing something and next thing I know, I’m signing up for classes. In this case I was at taekwondo practice with my youngest son. He had recently started and was…

Dabbling in dog rescue…(Chubs)
I can hardly look at this picture without crying my eyes out. We lost this little guy last year. I have had a really hard time looking at pictures of him since. It is still extremely painful that he is gone. If you have ever considered rescuing an animal…do it. I would say yes…go for…

Dabbling in gardening (sort of)…
I can’t say that I have a green thumb. I have killed most plants that I have tried to own. Not because I didn’t care for them, but because I didn’t care ENOUGH for them. And by caring enough, I mean watering them according to each individual type of plant and paying attention to the…

Dabbling in girls’ trips…
This one is so close to my heart. Mamas….I know it’s hard…but GO ON THE TRIP! Whatever it takes to get your butt out the door for a chance to hang out with your ladies…do it. I am a firm believer in keeping up with your friendships…they are one of the greatest blessings in life.…

Dabbling in a resort with a kid’s camp…
Yes…hell yes…if there is a kid’s camp…immediate yes. I should just end this post here. Awhile back my husband and I were discussing our plans for fall break. It was complicated because we have 5 kids, all with different activities going on and we realized getting away for fall break was looking difficult. We decided…

Dabbling in the aesthetic industry…
Guys…what the hell is going on?! How did we get here? My family is extremely busy. I have 5 kids…3 step kids and 2 bio kids. I was working part-time as a nurse when life got overwhelming. We got my 3 stepkids full-time for over a year. I also had a toddler and a newborn…

Dabbling in horseback riding…
Horseback riding is something I was first introduced to as a kid. We lived in a small town in Iowa when my dad was going to college. My parents had me when they were 19 years old…right after their senior year of high school. They were “encouraged” by their families to get married. My dad…

Hello World! Where my busy moms at?
I was today years old when I decided to start a blog! Is that still a thing?! Surprisingly yes…it is:) I’ve always enjoyed expressing myself on paper…I’ve kept a personal journal for years and tend to write when I’m struggling or something is weighing me down. I wrote a blog years ago when I was…
