1st pregnancy vs. the 5th

There’s one thing about the fifth pregnancy that is better than the first pregnancy: Excitement for the unknown is replaced by excitement of the known. With my first pregnancy, I was excited to see that new little face, to meet that new little person. With my fifth pregnancy, my excitement comes in a new light. I now know something that I didn’t know then. I know now that there will be nothing else like it. I know now that there’s nothing better. I know that there is a magical time ahead for me in which I will fall in love with this new little person. I know because it’s happened four times before. I know this baby is going to add to our family in a way that nothing else can. Though I know there will be times ahead in which babies will take their messy diapers off, and finger paint with poop (that’s right), and there will be 5 year olds  that lose their shoes every time I turn around, I also know there will be new smiles, new laughter, sweet kisses, a little room made at our table as we set another place, and plenty of love to go around. Best of all we will get a little bit of pink girlyness added to our house :) YAY!!!

Hello world!

I am blessed to be the mother of 4 wonderful boys, I have been married for 18 1/2 years (wow), life hasn’t always been easy, each day brings new challenges, new joy’s, and new learning experiences. I’ve learned over the years what’s TRULY important to me and I try not to sweat the little things. I love to read and could spend hours sitting in the sun room with a great book. (of course with 4 boys I’m happy to get 20 minutes here and there). I love the beach, my ultimate goal in life is to move to an island somewhere with a house on the beach, homeschool my boys, and enjoy all that God brings our way. That’s after we’ve traveled the world with our children, building schools and houses for those in need, and showing the kids that there is so much more to this world. I guess I better get started…..

This is just a little peek into my world and my life, I hope as you read my blogs you come away with something great, whether it’s mom tips, a new way to look at something, a fun activity to share with your family, a book review (we read a lot), a smile, a laugh, no matter what you come away with, I hope you join me again and share your comments.
