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. =)

Follow the Course

So long, so sorry. But not, on the other hand. Because I have been very pensive lately, and I’m working on not feeling so guilty for not being perfect at so many things, for not pushing myself to the absolute limit in every facet of my life. I’ve been busy with my family. There was […]

In Every Moment

I’ve finally recovered my photos of this year’s hike to “Jess’s,” a section of my grandpa’s old farm that blooms with wild daffodils every March or April.

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 […]

All Together Again

I’m happy to report that all the Roberts are together again. As fun as Jamboree is, it’s always nice to get back to paradise where, honestly, the laundry never gets done and the squabbles make up the background song of my life. This is where I belong; here, in these precious days, with my family […]

No Use Crying

Nope, not me. I’m not crying over forgetting to take breast milk to the sitter’s house, wasted gasoline, liquid creamer all over the kitchen floor, a $119 speeding ticket or Lily getting on the wrong bus and coming home to an empty house. No, there is no use crying. I did almost cry when I […]
