I'm Erin Jo. I'm thinking, writing, dreaming, mothering, loving, living, praising, BLESSED to be Fiona to my Shrek and Mommy to my four amazing kiddos.

Shrek is "like an onion with many layers" but has a heart of gold. He's my husband and my friend, and we just get better all the time.

Lily is my first baby and only girl. She's smart, funny, tall and kind. Keeping up with this girl is a challenge and a joy. She's terrific!

Max is one part ogre, two parts lover and all boy! Our little man has a temper but gives the best hugs of anyone I know!

Luke is the baby of the family, but holds his own. He's happy and adorable. And he's a terrible sleeper. =)

Stay… Just a Little Bit Longer….

Well, the Roberts family is officially on “staycation.” We’ve been at the lake all weekend and are home for a quick laundry and shower session. We’ve got lots to do. Most of all, we plan to do nothing. To just relax and soak up summer and each other. I’ll be thinking on future posts, writing […]

Keep Calm and Carry On

So I mentioned I’d had a rough month in May. I can’t really tell you why; it was just one of those times in my life where there was a lot going on, the blues kept sucking me down, and I couldn’t find the time to take care of myself, to be gentle with myself […]
