Christmas Cards

I wasn't going to do Christmas cards this year, but I've said every year since I've been with Jason that we will do them and every year, I haven't. It's not the easiest thing to plan, when we only see the kids every other weekend. But I went and got some new PJs and we had a little photo shoot by the tree. It's in our true style - imperfect, real, and last minute. :-)



Jordan has finally gotten to the point where he is smiling with teeth in pictures, I think he looks so handsome!


This child can't take a bad picture. She is one of the most photogenic girls I've ever seen!


Avery looks like such a little girl!!! I love her face in this picture.


Merry Christmas! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the kids are so excited. Jordan told us that he slept in this morning and is sleeping in tomorrow so he can be up good and early Christmas day. Sophia has counted out the gifts about 6 times already!!!

I was telling a Christmas memory of when we were kids. My sisters and I used to think Christmas Eve was excruciatingly long so we would make schedules for the whole day to make the day pass by longer. Like, "12-1, play Monopoly. 1-2, ride bikes." That's pretty funny when I think about it! But as an adult like just blows on by and for kids, it can't come fast enough!

Merry Christmas Eve!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
