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!

Colby is as ornery as he looks. He flirts shamelessly, even with strangers. He's all mouth and curls and the loudest by far.

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

Bunnies and Butterflies

It’s hard to stay on an even keel in this world. Our human emotions can take us so many places, both welcome and unwelcome. We face each day not really knowing what it will bring, but pursuing it anyway because there is no alternative. I’m becoming even more in tune to the slight–and not so […]

The Golden Rule

So last night was our annual Back-to-School Feast. This year’s theme: “The Golden Rule, Treat Others As You Want to Be Treated.” I admit I put some time, with Lily’s help, into preparation for the event, getting the table just so, making some gorgeous paper decorations to complement the whole deal, making dinner and a […]

High School, Remembered

I’m feeling a blast from the past tonight. I spent some time this past weekend with about ten of my classmates from my graduating class. We were the class of ’96 at Waterford High. And, it ended up being true, “We never had it all together, but together we had it all.” I remember leading […]

Goodnight Blues

Sometimes you just can’t get a good picture…. Wow, am I feeling low tonight… I had hoped to title this post a little more positively – maybe after a glass of wine – but then that last thing happened, and it all went to hell. I am so tired of trying to do it all. […]

Never Grow Up

It’s a constant theme, and yet I keep learning it. It’s not that I forget, really, but somehow, I have to be reminded. These days are precious. There will always be dirt, but these kids won’t always be little. We had a great weekend of camping with friends at Wolf Run. There were way more […]
