If she were still here, yesterday would have been a lot different. We would have had her birthday present set up in the living room waiting for her to wake up. I would have made her chocolate chip pancakes and we would probably have friends and family over celebrating her birthday. I can only imagine what birthday parties in heaven are like. I know they're much better than anything I could have done, but I still selfishly wish I could have thrown her one. It's hard to believe it's been three years without you, Svetlana. Three years since you made us parents. Three years since we've seen your beautiful face. Three years since we held you in our arms. Three years since we begged for you to breathe. I'm so thankful for the time we had with you in my womb, but I still wish we could watch you play with your little sisters. I wish you could be in every picture I take of them, smiling just as big and having so much fun with them.  Your short life taught me so much. Life i...

consider it all joy

My two year old daughter has a large vocabulary. People are often impressed with the amount of words she knows and is able to say clearly. She is very smart and communicative. I am very proud of her. I love listening to her talk and knowing what her voice sounds like makes me so happy. Knowing my child's voice, hearing her speak, lights me up. "Mommy" is my favorite word and I'm so thankful she says it so often (even if it's over and over and over again as loud as she can while the newborn is sleeping😉😂).  Three years ago I didn't think I was going to be able to ever hear a child call me mommy.

Welcome!

  Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog! I wanted a place to be able to write my thoughts, family updates, ideas, recipes, stories, and who knows what else. I am new to blogging so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, but I will learn as I go and I hope you'll follow along with me. I recently deleted all mainstream social media so if you are a friend or family member who is wondering where I've gone, here I am! I am much happier without social media and I'm realizing that life is so much simpler when you aren't worried you'll miss something from someone you never talk to or see outside of Instagram or Facebook.  The time I would normally spend on Instagram is now being spent as more quality time with my family, taking care of my house, or just sitting and thinking while I stare out the window. It's wonderful.  I hope you enjoy this blog. I can't wait to see what it becomes. Thanks for reading! -Brittany
