As Cohen gets older and starts becoming his own sentient being, I feel like it’s go-time in regard to parenting and helping him become a spirit-minded kid. We’ve recently returned to attending church regularly, so even though right now he just plays in the nursery most of the time, he’ll soon be in Sunday School […]
Hey ya’ll. Yep, I’m still alive. The blog lives. And yep, I just said ya’ll. Because I guess I’m a southern girl now and that’s what they do. Life has been nothing short of overwhelming as I battle all the feels that come with post-partum depression, missing your friends and family, and being forced to […]
After I went to the doctor that Saturday morning and had my pregnancy confirmed, I had to go straight to work at The Bier Garden. I was there for about an hour before I couldn’t handle it anymore and spilled the beans to a coworker, which led to the entire staff working that day finding […]
I’m still finding it hard to believe that I’m about to write about what I’m about to write about. It’s so beautifully surreal, so magical, so life changing. Since most of you who follow this blog know me personally and follow me on facebook, you know what I’m talking about. I’M FREAKING PREGNANT!!!! After three […]
**Note: This was actually written on April 3, but I never posted it. I’m posting it now, nearly a month later just because I felt I needed to. I have too many drafts that go unpublished, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Better late than never, right?** So, rough couple of days for […]
Just thought it was time for a little Allen Life Update post. 🙂 Dustin started massage school last week, and he’s already in love with it all. We’re settling into our schedule and routine. It’s a lot of running around town since we’re sharing a car right now, but we make it work. He already […]
7 and 8. My cute little blonde-haired boys are officially 7 and 8. Julien celebrated 7-hood last Saturday, and Matisse turns 8 today. It’s been such a joy watching them grow up over the last five years. When Dustin and I first met, they were still babies! And now they’re boys. Beautiful, smart, curious, loving […]
This is something I’ve been working on in my journal the past couple of days. It’s not quite done and already really long, so I’ve decided to post it in chunks. I’ll post more tomorrow. Until then, part one: So I’m at The Spa at the Grove Park Inn enjoying a luxurious day of mineral […]
So I know I’ve been totally absent on the blog here lately, and when this happens, I always feel like I need to give some ginormous update post to fill everyone in on the happenings of my life. But that just sounds exhausting right now. So I’m going to pretend that my last post was […]
I haven’t updated for a while, and I feel it’s time for one of those long, detailed “get caught up on life” posts. But I’m just gonna keep it short a simple. Life is great. Wonderful in fact. I’ve never been so happy and in love with everything around me. My husband. My boys. My […]
