My Amazing Husband

The summer has been LONG and Stevan has been gone for almost a month of it put together. So, this week, he put together his personal days to create a ‘staycation’ of sorts. We hit up Hershey, PA and Chocolate World. We also went to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburg and had a blast! It [...]



Feeling the Pressure…Literally!

Last night I had a rough night–Braxton Hicks made it hard for me to breathe so I had to walk around for a little while after 11 pm. I just wanted to sleep…! The thing is, Ella hadn’t been asleep that long! We had put her to bed at 8, but she kept crying out [...]



Bruster’s PJ Day–this Saturday!

Hey, all you Bruster’s fans! This Saturday, March 7th, is Bruster’s PJ day where you get a free single scoop in a waffle cone if you wear your pajamas. There is one down the road from us so this could be very tempting!:-) See the details here.



Potty Training…

Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer has a great post on potty training. I am constantly trying to figure out when Ella is ready. She barely cares still and is fine in diapers so I have moments of wondering if she’ll ever give me signs that she really wants to right now. This post [...]



The winds of change are blowing…

Stevan shared this letter to our church this morning: Church family at Our Savior’s Wesleyan: Just a month ago God organized a conversation to take place that would ignite an understanding that His plan for the life of Stevan, Jessica, and Ella would soon be changing. We had not anticipated any possible change from doing [...]



Something new…

My amazing husband came home with a bag from a bookstore at lunch today. Before he opened the bag, he told me that he bought me something today. I had no clue what he would have bought because I hadn’t hinted at anything recently. He told me I had shared many times that I would [...]



What a great Hubby!

Thanks to my marvelous husband, I am now the proud owner of my first piece of Tupperware. His mom insisted that I needed the gallon pitcher when she found out that I didn’t own one. Not being one to make us go into debt deeper, I laughed it off and assured everyone that I was [...]



Cash Crate

If you like taking surveys and want to get paid doing it, click here. Stevan explains it better so I’ll just let you read his explanation. If you want him to get the credit instead of me, that’s fine (we are married you know)–click on his banner instead. Read Stevan’s explanation here.



Pastor and Spouse Retreat

We just returned from the Wisconsin District’s Getaway weekend thanks to my parents who came up to stay with Ella. I survived being away from Ella all night for the first time. I missed her badly, but it was nice to be able to be a part of everything without distractions, for once. I did [...]



Kudos to Stevan, SuperDaddy Extraordinare

It hasn’t passed, but I am not in near as much pain as I was on Friday night through Sunday night. Yesterday was way better and today I woke up without excrutiating pain, yet the stone still hasn’t passed. I don’ get it–I’m just uncomfortable now (well, maybe if I quit meds all together I’d [...]
