In the MOMent Monday with Melissa

Filed Under: Family

I love spending time with my kiddos in the kitchen. But, I don't have a lot of patience for a huge mess. So, when we make something sweet together, simple and quick is the best way for me to go. That way, the kids have fun, and I don't lose my cool when the flour hits the fan. I am a huge cookie monster, so we usually bake a quick batch or cookies or brownies. One of my favorite go to recipes is for simple short bread cookies. They are always sure to please and don't take much prep or bake time, ... Read More about In the MOMent Monday with Melissa

Monster Trucks on the Beach

Filed Under: Family, Travel Tagged With: monster truck, mother's day

On Mother's Day we went up to the oceanfront for Monster Trucks on the Beach. It was so much fun. Last time we were there Carsyn was in my belly! This time Carsyn was out of my belly and was able to enjoy watching the show. Dustyn is a lot older so I think he liked the show a lot more. Kenny was so excited because Big Foot was there. He LOVED monster trucks growing up, especially Big Foot. Since they are more midwest Kenny was never able to see the truck in person until this past Sunday. His ...

Mother’s Day

Filed Under: Family

Happy (belated) Mother's Day! I hope you all had a wonderful day and I hope your family celebrated you! Ever since I became a mom, I have a new respect for Mother's Day. My family doesn't usually do expensive gifts or anything of that nature, but they DO take the time to spend with me-- and honestly, that's all I really want. What I love most about Mother's Day is just reflecting on those moments when I became a mother. When the words "you are pregnant" were first spoken to me, that's ... Read More about Mother’s Day

Happy 3rd Birthday Carsyn!

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: 3rd birthday, birthday

Carsyn, I can not believe it has been three years since you came into the world and made me a mom of two boys. My life since you came along is not how I pictured it, it is better. You may not be able to do all the things a "typical" three year old can do, but you make me so happy. Your smile and laughter are contagious. Carsyn you are the sweetest little boy I know. You are so empathetic, if another child is crying, you cry right along with them. You just have the most gentle disposition. I ... Read More about Happy 3rd Birthday Carsyn!

This is the lowest weight I have been since I got pregnant with Dustyn and he will be 18 in February. 😳Feeling amazing, so thankful for how far I have come, but would like to lose about 20 more and tone up.
