Why does this keep happening to me???

I can't believe how fast little babies grow. It seems like every time I have a baby I blink and then they aren't a newborn anymore. The smallest one is not even 3 months old and she is already rolling over, batting at toys, and holding onto them for a few minutes. Milestones are so bittersweet to me. On one hand I'm proud of her and happy that she's developing quickly. But on the other hand I love tiny babies and I'm in no hurry for her to grow up!

I remember always hearing adults talk about how fast kids grow up and rolling my eyes. I remember how cliche it sounded to hear about how time flies as you get older. But it is seriously true. I can't believe how quickly these girls are growing up!

How big are your feet?

Okay, is it just me, or are my feet getting huge??? I used to be a size 8.5 and I had a closet full of cute pairs. (**I'll admit that I have a stereotypical love of shoes although I never buy them. That's just what I ask for from everybody for every holiday.**) Now I'm in a size 10!!! I had to go out and buy a decent pair of shoes bc I can't walk around in sandals and crocs in the snow. I was shocked when I wasn't even fitting into a 9.5 anymore! One of my friends told me that she had the same problem and had to replace her shoe collection as well. I wonder, for those of you who have any several children, do your feet continue to grow with each child? Or is there a cut off point where your feet will just stop expanding? I mean if someone had 9 kids and started off at 8.5 that would make them a 13! I don't think shoes come any bigger than that. . .

This is my blog

I am a conservative Christian homeschooling mama of three (so far). This is my blog about being a happy helper for the man that God gave to me. Recently my husband was laid off from a high paying job and we are currently trying to manage on about a fourth of his previous salary. So I'm sure there'll be plenty of frugal talk on this site as well. My husband and I agree that God knows what is best for our family and we choose not to use birth control. We have been married for almost five years and we are hoping that the Lord chooses to bless us with many more children. Thanks for stopping by!
