Finding Balance

She hasn't taken off yet but she's trying.
Has anyone else done the one little word thing for a new year? I decided my word for the year is balance. Just like Mad is working at finding her balance, I'm going to find my balance this year too. I'm going to find the balance in my life - spiritual, marriage, parenthood, social, personal.
It sounds like a lot of work - it sometimes feels like I can't do it all. At least not like I want to.
Maybe my expectations are too high...but I don't think so.
River is working on going consistently in the toilet. It works best if he doesn't have a pull up or underwear on. Such fun!

We enjoyed a little getaway the other weekend with the Eisenmann family to the Old School Center in Farmington, IL. I kinda wanted to steal these sweet stools in our suite.


I'm in the process of some minor redecorating in Madeira's new room. Jeremy will be thrilled to hear my repainting plans. :) I hate painting and am no good at it, but it's a fast and cheap way to make a huge change.
This thrilling update is for you, Jen!

  1. Ahh, I just made Shawn repaint Lyddie's room yesterday!! It was my least favorite room in the house so I am fixing that! Making a bedspread and a few other things from some free linen someone gave me, a whole new room! Must be something to do with these blah winter months that makes us want to redo the house :)

  2. Yay! I can't believe how big & balance-y Mad is getting. Talk about her aunt Jenna a lot so she doesn't forget me.

    1. I have to get the color selected, although I have it in my mind. I will probably take you up on your offer when I get around to it. :) If you are still willing...
