The Month of May

-
May was a super fun month for our family.

Our youngest turned one!!

My hubby turned 31!!

My love and I got to have a fun date honoring the men and women who have served this country.
 
Breakfast at Morgan's
 
Our baby girl turned one. What an amazing year it has been having her in our family. She is a sweet little thing. She likes to think she's bigger then she is. We had a 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' themed party for her. It was so fun! Thanks to all of our family and friend who came out!


 
The decorations.

My amazing and talented friend made these cute little boxes as a thank you gift.
Inside were candy necklaces for everyone!
 
 
 
The Birthday Boy!
 
My hubby turned 31! It's crazy to think I met him when he was just 21. I have to admit his birthday snuck up on me this year. I threw together a party really quick and I think it went well! He bought himself a motorcycle the week before so I went with that!  
 
 
 
 
Before the party started I was trying to get everything ready so The Hubs was on baby duty. I caught this little gem out the kitchen window. Be still my heart!!
 


 The cake was suppose to be a "rolling thunder' theme.
It was beautiful in my head- not so much on execution.
But it tasted good!

Rolling Thunder
 
We dropped the kids off with my mother in law and her sister, and we got to enjoy a motorcycle ride to Washington DC. Amazing to see all the people lined up along the road to wave. Many were holing signs of their loved ones who are serving over seas.







The aftermath of the kids spending the day with their Nan-nan!

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while. It took me a long time because I often wondered why many 'ordinary' people have blogs. I wasn't sure I had anything worth reading to say. Whelp, here I am, hoping I have something worth reading to say! I hope to encourage at least one person (even if that person is me). I will consider my blog a success. I wanted to lay out why I named the blog 'Homemaking with Intention'. I originally was looking at 'mothering with intention', but I felt that it left out one very important person- my husband ! My primary, day in day out 'job' is a mom, but I am so much more then that. I am a wife to my husband and I run our home. So, hence 'Homemaking with intention!' When I think about the word 'homemaker' it seems so old fashioned. But, lets look at the definition. One online source states: Homemaker, noun 1. a person who manages the household of his or her own family, especiall

5 Min Friday- Listen

-
 Write for 5 minutes and link up here at Lisa-Jo Baker. Todays word- Listen. GO I think, I want 5 minutes of peace. I want 5 minutes to myself! 5 minutes without a 3 year old whining about something, without a 2 year old calling for help, 'mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy...', without a infant crying to be picked up. Then I stop and listen. Really listen . I hear a 3 year old who so desperately wants to be independent but doesn't know how to break away yet. I get to be her everything for only a few more years . I hear two very special (almost) two year olds who love me and want me to be involved in everything they are doing and learning. I get to be the one to help them learn , I get to be the one that cheers them on and encourages them. I hear a brand new sweet blessing calling for me. I am the only one she wants, I am the only one that can feed her and help her grow. I am the one who can comfort her in a split second.  When I really listen to my life- 5 min

5 Min Friday- One Month

-
One month.  Just one. So much can change is such a short time. We went from being a family of 5 to a family of 6. Sweet girl entered our world a month ago. 10 months ago when that little stick had a positive sign, I cried. I cried and then called my husband and then cried some more. I didn't believe it. How could I handle ANOTHER baby (or TWO)? I had a 2 and a half year old and twin 16 month olds. Hubby brought home more pregnancy tests- 5 of them, which all said the same thing- our life was changing again! I cried. How would I go grocery shopping if it was twins again? Would I have to have another c-section? Would this baby (or two) be healthy? I cried and call my friend- the one I KNEW would give me support and say "Yay!! What a blessing! You will be just fine." And after she said all that, I cried again, not because I was scared (ok maybe a little) but because I knew she was right- what a blessing! And a month ago that sweet blessing came into our lives- and I c
