I finally have found or should I say, have made time to update my blog. It has been a month since our sweet boy Jax joined the family and our family dynamics have changed DRAMATICALLY. There have been so many times I have wanted to sit down and write about our new life, but I always felt like any free time I did have (yes, it is quite rare with 3 kids, but if you make it a priority it IS possible) was better spent sleeping or catching up on chores. After a lot of thought and prayers, I have finally decided how I want to use my blog. I will still be using it to update anyone who reads this about life in Iowa, but that will not be the main purpose. The main purpose will be to write down what I have learned or am seeking to learn from being a wife, mom, friend, nurse, and a woman of faith. Now I do not and will not pretend that I am a pro at any of the above, but I promise you that you can come to this blog and read the pretty, the ugly, and the downright truth about life from my perspective. And also feel free to offer advice. I want this blog to reach women ( maybe even some men) from all walks of life. Here are some topics I hope to address.

- Prioritizing your life

- Loving your life exactly for what it is

- Accepting what you can not change

- Learning not to loose yourself despite becoming a parent and spouse

- Disciplining your kids

- Living, not just preaching, a life of faith

- Keeping your relationship with your spouse a priority

- Redefining faith

- Organizing

- 'Tricks of the trade'.....helpful hints that I have developed and have been passed on to me as a mom

.........................And many many more to come
