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. =)

Progress Report

Ah, let’s see. My weekend started about five hours ago, and I am so glad. I have been a busy woman, and it’s time to dial back, or at least time for the business to be family-related. I want to be the kind of mom who cuts her own kids’ hair. Oh, well, look at […]

Earning Her Wings

Our girl, Ava Cole, earned her wings today. My daughter Lily says she’s dancing and singing in heaven, and cousin Jayden says she’s got her long hair back, restored to perfect health. And I believe all of this and more. I believe that my life is so much better because of Ava. I know my […]

Girlfriends

What a busy week! I’m well on my way to recovering. When I finally got home tonight with the kiddos, it was bedtime. But one look at this house told me otherwise. I was in severe Kenmore withdrawal. So out came the sweeper, and I got down to business. Lower level straightened up and swept; […]

52 1/2 Months…

Luke and I, around this time last year… Fifty-two and a half months. Yep.  That’s how long I’ve nursed babies, altogether. I’ve been selfless, enamored, annoyed, exhausted, mesmerized and content. It’s been an amazing experience, to watch my babies grow on my milk alone, to see them calm down in a nanosecond, to be the […]
