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!

And to make it even […]

Reasons

Photo by Jennifer Duskey Photography Oh, my reasons. You are so beautiful. You make me laugh. You make me tired. I’ve had a wonderful week with all of you. We’ve killed several boxes of tissues; we’ve snuggled five across; we’ve welcomed Daddy home from work in party fashion. Some of you have been sick. Not […]

Take Me Out

Every now and then, life reaches a fever pitch. Nothing major is happening in my corner of the world, but I can’t catch up, can’t get enough sleep, can’t feel like all is well. (But it is.) This week brings seven ballgames. Yes, seven. Lily (and her cousin Julia) are rocking it out on the […]
