Hair Cuts and Bathroom Remodel

Oh my! I am watching all the Spring Break travel photos and thinking how I’m slaving away in this bathroom remodel all day. (Can I get a little sympathy?) I mean...well ok. Mostly Matt is slaving away, and I come by to help when it’s convenient...but SOMEBODY has to maintain the home. Am I right?!! I put my girls on a plane to my dream vacation this afternoon...meanwhile, I learned to cut tile and am getting quite good at it. (Can you believe he allows me to participate in such ways?!!! Forget about careless and clueless...let’s start calling me Careful Kristen. How bout that?!) Since Matt is slaving away...seriously...all day every day for 2 weeks now! ..... I decided to give him a break on the diy cuts. The boys had their first haircut out of the house (or neighbor’s)! They were amazed at how quick it was...and they are officially sold on the Great Clips experience! I mean...their Dad definitely has talent!...b ut it is painfully slow and calculated.

Parenting Over-Time Comes to an End

I was feeling pretty icky to start the new year. There is so much holiday from October through December, I tend to end up feeling lazy, over-stuffed, unproductive and completely out of sorts. It is not a good feeling. Not at all. I feel this, properly, represents my mood...especially the t-rex. How have I never seen these sculptures before?!!

Not that I'm complaining about the 50's!! It just feels as chaotic as the rest of my life, and I will admit: Even I require some level of routine and consistency to cope my way through this confounding life. The free-for-all of the past two weeks has NOT suited me well. And if you never once, during the break, had to storm through the house in the middle of the night to erupt upon your child, "SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP!" the

Big News!

Eden has officially taken over Christmas decor this year. Thank you, sweet, baby Jesus!! 💕 All I care is that I get my nativity up and have a safe place to put all of these presents I have stocked up in my closet... So... I've been sitting on this for a little bit. I haven't wanted to get my hopes up, because it has been a long and arduous road, with...Grand-Canyon-type obstacles in the road, at times. You know me, right? I just put on my wing-suit and jumped right in. Not, actually, me. Totally stolen from the internet. Some of you know, about 7 years ago...before the MU job placed itself in my path and I started working again...I signed up with Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to begin my quest for a Master's Degree in Counseling. I was staying home at the time. I can't remember if Evan was born yet when I started. But I do remember only taking one or two classes here and there, so I did not get overwhelmed. Ha! If only I could have peeked into my f
