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.

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. =)

It’s been about a week of spurts of focused activity, and the place is looking amazing. I’m happy to be free of clutter! I’ve also been really busy trying to cherish my kids, to […]
