Enjoy your Friday!! My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to a “date night” tonight. Even with being an “empty nester”, a date night sounds exciting. It is nice to be out and concentrating only on each other and not the pile of laundry that still is sitting in …
Enjoy today……today

Time flies quickly…enjoy each moment. It is a quiet morning…the oldest two are at work and the youngest two left to go back to college after the summer. I am appreciating the quiet because I am trying to enjoy each moment for the moment. But, I remember not too longer ago, sitting in this same …
Thank goodness it is Friday!

I just texted my kids the traditional TGIF! It is “Fun Friday” at the Love house. Since the kids were young, we have celebrated Friday. When I say celebrate, I mean that we hooped and hollered, had snacks, ate pizza, maybe even by candlelight, and I had a glass of wine. I am not sure …
Look at their sweet eyes, and hold onto the moments….

Those eyes just never change….enjoy every early morning AND every moment! I just returned from my morning walk/run. What an incredible morning it is. The sun is shining, the air is a little cool and the sky is cloudless. As I was moving along on the trail, I saw a Mom pushing a stroller …

You want your family to enjoy every minute, so what is first? Remember how I said vacation is a mindset? Well that …
Surviving the airport with children!
Raising kids with LOVE ♦ June 6, 2012 ♦ Leave a comment
Heading to the airport can be such an exciting event, when you are packed, organized, and your children are prepared. We have done it both ways, and I much prefer the calmer and organized way! Even if you are organized, it is a challenge to maneuver a family through security, the airport, and finally settling …
Fun is being creative AND a little messy!

Messy is good! Most kids like activities that involve a little “mess”! I can remember really searching at times to fill the days with activities for my kids. I checked out books from the library and talked to other Moms to find ideas that were kid friendly and fun. Now, there are so many ways …

Two of my daughters and I enjoying the activities downtown Indianapolis. Have a “super” Friday! The weeks fly fast! They really do! We get so busy that one day slides into the next and suddenly a week, month and year are sliding by. There are days as a parent that feel endless, but if you …
A family complete……
Raising kids with LOVE ♦ January 16, 2012 ♦ 1 Comment
Our family was completed with #4, our son Connor. Our house was definitely busy with 4 children age 6 and under, but it was wonderful. I had always thought that we would parent a son pretty much like we parented our daughters. We can start the whole nature vs. nurture conversation, but let’s just …
And then we moved to zone defense……

I was proof that “mommy amnesia” exists when #3 Kaitlyn came along almost 2 years to the day after Kelsey. The memories of a challenging first 3 months with Kelsey became fuzzy quickly, as often memories of challenging parenting moments do. Once again our hearts “expanded” and overflowed with love for our new addition. Kaitlyn …
