About

I have a crazy, blessed life. I often wonder how I got here and what exactly I am I supposed to do with this unique life. I am a mommy to 5 boys, 6 and under. I know that there is a specific reason I have 5 boys...just not sure what that reason is...I may never know! I do know this: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11. One of the things that I often hear is "Wow, you have your hands full!" Yes, I do, but they are full of blessing...and dirt, cars, boogers, cheerios, and sanitizer.  I believe that my children are blessings. I have to remind myself that I believe this on a daily basis. But I know that God's word is true, and right, and pure, and it says: "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" Psalm 127:3-5. My quiver is certainly full!
I am a wife to a hard working, serious, snuggly man. He is my love, my best friend, my calm, the one who keeps me grounded. He loves me for me and I am one loved woman. I love the Lord, my Savior and friend. He is the only reason I am on this earth and I strive to glorify Him in everything I do and say. I fail daily. I am a foodie, love to be creative, enjoy cooking, singing, and dancing...although I probably look really stupid. I am addicted to coffee with heavy cream, comfy pj's, pedicures, expensive perfume, and my pillow. I am learning to LOVE to run...I am not there yet. I want to be trendy, but never seem to be. My style board on Pinterest really is how I want to look...but the Boybarians needs outweigh my need for riding boots, skinny jeans, and a scarf. Sigh...riding boots. I have been wanting those for years. I love makeup and have a makeup artist for a mom. I am big sister and an Auntie to Olivia and Ethan. I wish I could pull off long, red hair. I dress my boys better than myself and am a sucker for sweaters, bowties, and converse. I love Pinterest, Medical TV shows, and have a broad musical taste...everything from Justin Bieber to Josh Groban...Evanescence to Michael Buble. I love my church, singing on worship team, and my girlfriends. I loathe Summer. I adore Autumn. I cherish Winter. I enjoy Spring. I have big dreams, a big family, and a I hope a big heart. I hope that you enjoy as I embark on this blogging journey!

Keep Calm and Count Your Blessings...and your Boybarians!
