Hearts at Home



This weekend was fabulous! After attending the conference last year I knew I was hooked. This year was especially fun because I didn't have a nursing infant to come along. Friday night we had Abby's wedding shower. It was great to have a night of girlfriend time. And besides having a headache I didn't feel especially icky (yeah!). Then Kristina, Liz, and I stayed in a roach motel. ( I am serious- it was a little scary) But it was worth it because the conference was great. Kristina, Amy, Liz, and I spend the entire day together and were totally impressed minus one workshop that wasn't our favorite. I once again was totally encouraged in my job as a mommy. I remember last year on the way home I cried and felt really overwhelmed that I wasn't living up to my own expectations. Its good to see this year that with the girls having grown a bit I'm not quite as overwhelmed and a little easier on myself. I know this will continue to be an annual tradition for me!

Grace is growing up...

While I was at Hearts at Home I was once again inspired to keep journaling the everyday moments of our family. Today Grace said the most hilarious thing! Jeremy was helping her go potty before nap time. He encouraged her to go potty so she could put her pull up on. She said, "Dad, I'm texting." She had her fake cell phone in her hand and her little fingers were pushing buttons. Oh, my! ( I didn't even know she knew what texting was) Needless to say I am not hoping the teen years come too soon.
