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

It’s been nearly a year and half since I’ve checked in here. I’m still in love with my hubby, the kids are growing, and new memories are made everyday. Life is good. Yesterday I had a birthday. I’m 37. I have to say that I have fond memories from 7, 17 and 27, so I […]

Assessment

I’m just not sure what to say about the fact that I’m posting a photo from September. It’s one of my favorites from last year. And, really, last year is a bit of a blur. But we made it! I talk about this all the time–out loud, in my head, to my mother, to my […]

Give Way

So here I am. Actually, here I am with the littlest man, as adorable as he is ornery, and that says a lot. I know. I’ve been lost. Truly. It’s been one of those month-long ebbs, with occasional bursts of sunshine. Mostly, things just ebb and ebb, and nothing will flow. I’m not on sabbatical, […]

Superheroes and a WINNER!

Another super weekend is in the books, and I spent most of it with the superheroes above. My friend Kyla took this photo, as my camera was lost and my cell phone dead. Thanks Ky! She titled it Earth, Wind, Fire, Water! and I love it! Except I think Colby is fire, because that kid […]

Big Science and a GIVEAWAY!

Our family had quite the treat on Wednesday at COSI (Center of Science and Industry) in Columbus. I received a very kind note about six weeks ago about my blog with a special invitation to enjoy COSI’s Early Childhood Workshop and tons of other perks as part of a Mommy Blogger event. Well, YES! And […]

New Beginning

Tonight, I write. I’ve missed blogging the last couple of nights. I’ve been celebrating birthdays–mine and this blog’s–and the anniversary of my journal-writing. So I’m 34. I’ve been keeping a journal for 22 years and blogging for two. Pretty amazing. Actually, maybe pretty amazing that I’ve done anything else. Oh, but I have. My actual […]

Virtual Reality

All thanks go to Jennifer Duskey of Jennifer Duskey Photography for this sweet sneak peek of our frigid outdoor photo shoot on Saturday morn. I can’t wait to see more, and I promise to share!  Life seems so real tonight. I am feeling a heaviness in my heart for others and contentment with my lot […]
