As a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to five active boys, time is not always something I have a lot of but I decided this year to jump into the blogging world. Do I have any clue what I am doing? Absolutely not. Like everything else I get myself into, I will eventually figure it out.

Until then, I hope you enjoy spending time with our adventurous family and 24-hour circus. I’m just an ordinary mom (nope, no super powers here), who at the moment happens to be in the middle of converting our junk-food eating kids to healthy diets (12 years of Cheetos and hot dogs is a hard habit to break, folks); learning how to make my own food and beauty products from scratch (my kitchen has become a science lab); discovering new things everyday as I am blessed to educate my boys in our home; and like so many other moms, just trying to do the best job I can raising my children. While it is not always easy and there are days (okay, days upon days) I struggle at my job, I love being a mother to five boys and the laughter it brings.

Of course, my sanity (or I should say what little is left) is held there by my partner and rock, Will (a.k.a, “The Dadinator”). We make quite a team and while our marriage is not perfect (come on, guys…lets be real; there are no “perfect” marriages), ours stands firm in Christ. He is the head of our family; the Lord of our lives; and the reason we are able to lie in bed peacefully at night knowing He will be there to help us conquer the next day.

With that said, I hope you are encouraged by an everyday mom with unbelievable stories. (And yes, whatever it was really happened.)
