{The Story of This Blog}

The motherhood journey is an adventure that is incomparable!  So many adjectives describe the life of a mom.  Special, surprising, exhausting, beautiful, messy, amazing… and so much more.  This blog is simply the thoughts and inspiration that come to me as I learn from my kids about life!  I like to share “real life” thoughts about being a mom, ideas for teaching your toddlers at home, and other snip-its from our life.

I started into “mom life” as an introverted, organized, ambitious 21 year old. I’ve come a long way out of my comfort zone as we’ve added four little ones to our home. Someone who valued quiet time reading, an uninterrupted schedule, and lots of time to play the violin—has turned into a coffee-loving, board book reading, under slept, over-loved, diaper bag toting, Mommy of four.  I now value things like Amazon Prime 2-day shipping, morning snuggles with my babies, and my spacious mini van!

(Not to mention movie nights at home with a bowl of ice cream)!  We own Plum Grove Music, a music store & lesson studio in Northwest Indiana. Growing a business and raising a family at the same time is a challenge, but it is a challenge we have accepted together.  I love this man with all my heart! He is patient, supportive of all my crazy ideas, and involved in the children’s daily lives!
