In honor of Mother’s Day weekend, today seems like the appropriate day to announce some news that is so precious to me as a mother of 3 fantastic babies… Our 2nd baby boy’s name will be: Ezra Neal Carlson. <3 Ezra is Hebrew, meaning ‘helper’ or ‘aid’. In the Bible, Ezra was a scribe and […]
Motherhood would be cool if it was all picnics and zoo trips and choosing the cutest, hugest bows for fuzzy heads. There’s a lot of that and I love it. Even better, motherhood is kind of like having your own little circle of disciples in your home. I love that and I’m learning how to […]
…but you had better believe i will be working this spring/summer to remember how to use it! and just to use it. because, really? i like you guys. i like your crazy hair and chubby limbs…. i like your expressive eyes and quizzical looks… i like remembering what it is to wonder as i re-discover the created […]
“Hudson is my best friend.” (throws her arm around his shoulders) “See? We fit together.” :: :: :: Also? I am kind of *hoping* to get back to writing and posting more often. We’ll see how that goes.

A place called home… via …where we wake and rise to greet the day, filled with promise. Two by two little ones’ eyes flutter open. They’re invited to dress, to eat, to begin – the youngest asking eagerly, “What are we doing today, Mommy?” A day in the home brings a dynamic blend of the […]
This past week/weekend we had a big decision to make. We talked with some friends and family about it, and also requested prayer from our Facebook friends. It was regarding whether or not I should register for May graduation (taking 4 classes in the spring), or delay till next December (taking 2 classes in the […]
Well, again I am linking up with Life Rearranged for a Friday summary of instagram photos. I am a little bummed that I have had no time or drive for blogging lately.
