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.

dave

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

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

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

luke

Luke is the baby of the family, but holds his own. He's happy and adorable. And he's a terrible sleeper. =)

These are My People

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.”– Jane Howard Well, I can’t believe it, but I don’t have a group photo of my family women this past weekend. I’ll have to add one when I get […]

I Want to Grow Old With You

I realized today that I haven’t yet written a whole lot about my amazing family and how blessed I am just to have been born into it. A good place to start would be with my sister. With only 22 months between us, my big sis and I have shared so much. It’s hard to […]
