The Three Musketeers

As many of you already know, we are expecting our third baby and we couldn't be happier! We are expecting Daniel (middle name still to be announced) Styles on January 17, 2015. I am currently 24 weeks along and everything is going fairly well. I am planning to have my second at home birth and this time I promise to give all the details! I choose another at home birth because I had a great experience with my first at home birth and I honestly don't think I could go back to birthing at a hospital now that I had the opportunity to have been spoiled with a home birth. Yes we are expecting our 3rd boy. The news of a third boy coming into our family was a little shocking at first since we expected a little girl but nevertheless, we are thrilled and we are anxiously awaiting the day our little Daniel arrives.

Here is my baby bump at 20 weeks:)

The first 5 years of my Eternal Marriage

So October 1st was Jeremiah and I's 5th year anniversary. :) Thank's to the help of my in laws, who where able to stay with our boys, we had the opportunity to get away for a few days and spend some time with each other which was really nice and refreshing:) It is so nice to take time away from all the hustle of daily life to spend a few days with your spouse. Specially when you have small children because it is so difficult to get alone time with your spouse when you have little children... Even with a small budget it is possible to make it happen. So I definitely encourage all you married people out there, if you can, plan something out. Surprise your husband or wife with a weekend getaway. Even if it's just one night. If your on a low budget, even something as cheap as going camping just with your significant other is totally worth it:) Any who, I wanted to write this post because throughout these 5 years I have learned A LOT of lessons. I have to admit that...

Kindness is the answer

I read an article today about a study that was done by various social scientists at the University of Washington. The article states that SCIENCE has found that lasting marital relationships come down to kindness and generosity . The article caught my attention because of the simplicity of the behavior of being kind. I was expecting perhaps an article about how it is essential to have good chemistry, compatibility, shared interests... Things that I have heard from those around me that are apparently key for a successful marriage… Kindness though? I mean this is just a basic behavior that I try to teach my toddlers. My question at first was, how is kindness supposed to be an answer to a successful marriage? That's when I continued to read... The article starts out by repeating the well-known distressing statistic of how the majority of marriages fail, with only 3 in 10 surviving. Statisti...

Romance on campus

Jeremiah and I have been married for almost 4 years. Our anniversary is October 1st and this is how we met. Brigham Young University-Idaho is often referred to as BYU-I do and for a good reason. Jeremiah and I briefly met at the Latin Association in June 2010 but it was a game that brought us to meet again. That day at the Latin association we played a game called the "murder spoon game". We each had a spoon with our name on it and we put it in a hat and the hat went around and we each picked a spoon with someones name on it. Our job was to take that spoon home and during the week find the person who's name was on the spoon and steal the spoon the other person had and who ever had the most spoons by the next meeting was suppose to win the game. I honestly forgot about the game and just kinda shoved the spoon I got in my backpack. A few days after the meeting. Jeremiah came knocking on my door. When I saw him at the door I thought he was looking for one of my room mates bu...
