    Motherhood lately…

    (I wrote this post  about a year ago and never posted.. But I’m still posting it even if it’s a little later.) Most of the time I am grateful for how far God has brought me and how much he changed me for better.  But there are times, better said days and weeks, when I fall into a hole full of self-pity, “not-enough” feelings and “this is hard” thoughts. I love being a mom and I’m thankful I get to be a mom. Doing life with kids is more fulfilling and joyous than I’ve ever dreamed of. Mom life requires more patience than your first 20 years of life together,…

    Introducing our kids to an Allowance!

    Hello sweet friend,   Today I’m writing about why we decided to give our kids an allowance and how we do it. I’ve searched the internet up and down and there was no method that I was all in for. There was always something that I didn’t like and didn’t want to add to our plan. So I made our own model and picked just the things that work for us and left everything behind. If you are thinking of starting an allowance plan, I encourage you to add or take down the things that make the plan work best for you and your kiddos.  We just want to help…

I’m so glad you’re here ? Like most Mamas I sometimes must grab a bunch of stuff (like half the house) in order to leave the house with the kids. Oh, what a nice feeling it is when we get all organized and everything is in place and I don’t get caught off guard while outing with the kids. Yeah… me too. (And we all laughed together) Seriously now, I have learned so much over…

    My story Part 2 – 8 long months waiting for an answer

    Shortly after Josh was born, we were told that the symptoms he had (low muscle tone, no sucking reflex, no cry, always happy and contempt, no drinking) were just symptoms and they are a part of something bigger. I did not believe a thing the doctors were saying. I kept telling the doctors, that Joshua would just need to come home and be with his family – get used to life out of womb. And that maybe he is just a quiet, sweet baby. They told us that we needed to go with him to a genetic consultation and gave us an appointment approx. 4 months after his birth. It…

    My story Part 1 – Joshua’s birth

    I’m publishing my first blog post as the first post of a series, because the story I want to tell you is content for more than just one post.   I want to start by telling a little part of my story, about when Joshua was born and I´m gonna do my best to keep it short- ish 🙂   It all started while I was pregnant with Joshua. The doctor told me, that I had a little too much amniotic fluid, but there is no need to worry. He said, that there are many potential reasons for this, but without any testing, there would be no certainty as to…
