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. =)

In with the New

I’m just pleased as punch with my new master bathroom mini-remodel! I had a vision on a Pinterest board that I’ve been building for years. One Tuesday morning about a month ago, I woke up and started ordering the pieces. It was time. How many times does a Pinterest board come to life? Successfully? In […]

Positive Change

Sometimes it feels like I’ll never blog again. I’ve had an eight-day hiatus here, maybe my longest yet, but it isn’t for lack of trying. The baby, beautiful boy that he is, is having trouble finding his happy place in the crib at bedtime. He’s down, he’s up, he’s down, he’s up, he’s hungry, he’s […]

Time Marches On

I snapped these photos of the kids last fall. While we’re still not quite to this stage of crisp air and fallen leaves, I feel it coming soon. These three are all a year older and less innocent, and we have another one on the way. Speaking of the baby, I have begun to feel […]

Meanwhile, the other two kids were proud to show off their yard sale finds….We’ve got a very special friend campfire to enjoy tonight, a wedding that will be gorgeous, fun and kid-free tomorrow and […]
