Posted on March 29, 2017 by joshandkorey

Riley Day

Posted on June 28, 2016 by joshandkorey

We celebrated Riley’s life with the things he loved best: family, friends, chipotle, Chevelles, and Chuck E Cheese (okay, he didn’t love chuck E Cheese BEST, at least not as an adult). It was a hard day, but we were … Continue reading →

You’ve come a long way, baby

Posted on May 31, 2016 by joshandkorey

This post is not about a baby (!!). It’s about me. While I could wax poetic for paragraphs about how I have changed as a person, I’m not going to share that here. That’s for me to know (and Jesus. … Continue reading →

Do you think he knows?

Posted on February 2, 2016 by joshandkorey

Do you think that this boy knows how much he is loved? How special he is? That I would do anything for him?   Because, as a parent, it’s not something you’re allowed to say. You need to keep a … Continue reading →

A day in the life: Friday edition

Posted on January 30, 2016 by joshandkorey

Thinking back

Posted on December 4, 2015 by joshandkorey

Enjoy these days

Posted on November 18, 2015 by joshandkorey

Never let me go

Posted on October 26, 2015 by joshandkorey

Ahh motherhood. The days are long. The nights can be longer. Sometimes I just crave some space for myself–not to be touched for a few minutes. There are always little hands reaching for me. But I remember that they won’t … Continue reading →
