"Having a baby is NOT easy. You need time to recover and you need the best support so you can recover properly. Debbie, Anna, and CBP gave me that."
The Villages At Central College
It's still crazy to me that we are a family of FIVE!! As amazing as that is, it means that we need more space in our home...like right now!! Our wishlist includes 4-5 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, a playroom, an office for my husband and I, a nice sized kitchen with an island, top floor laundry, and storage. I know it may sound like a lot but we currently live in a three bedroom 1.5 bathroom house and it's taught us that we need to be really picky with our next house. I would also love a formal dining room but that's a want not a need.

Eat Pak'd and GIVEAWAY
Life around here has been chaotic to say the least, so I have been loving having Eat Pak'd as my go to resource for healthy and easy lunches for my older two kiddos. Eat Pak'd provides families with healthy, kid approved meals right to their front door through a subscription service. Imagine no meal prep, no clean up, just a few clicks on your computer and a nice cold delivery at your door. SO EASY!!!!
Locker Soccer
A few months ago my little guy saw some guys practicing soccer as we drove past the park. He immediately started asking a million questions (like most 2 year olds do) and through his questions he found out that his daddy played soccer and loved it. Like a lot of young boys, his dad is his number one hero, and learning that he played soccer was the most amazing thing he had heard all week. Owen started showing interest in playing soccer immediately.
In typical Eryn form I started researching soccer programs for young children and digging into what makes each program different. For Owen's age (3 years old) I was mainly looking for a program that was play based with great coaches. Through all my research, I found that Locker Soccer was the one program that stood out.
Baby Elizabeth
Baby Elizabeth is here and we are so in love. I have been living in this newborn bliss for the last three weeks, snuggles, nursing, kisses, baby coos, the sweet smell of baby, ahh! I never want these moments to end. As a mom of three I know all too well that time moves so quickly and I need cherish every moment and that's exactly what I've been doing.
Day In The Life | Beloved Photography | January 2017
It wasn't until summer of 2016 that I learned to start loving my imperfect house and embracing this season in our lives. We have two beautiful kids and another on the way, our marriage is strong, we are healthy, and we are still young. We are building our careers, creating memories with our kids, and I refuse to focus so much on what needs fixed and miss what is right in front of me.
PreciouStatus at Foundations Learning Academy
I recently learned about an app that Foundations Learning Academy in Hilliard has implemented. PreciouStatus - it allows the caregivers at Foundations Learning Academy the ability to keep the parents informed throughout the day on everything from how much their child ate, to diaper changes, potty training updates, other items that you'd find on the normal daily sheet at pick up as well as other alerts and then of course pictures! :-)
