Hello August!
So my dietbet winnings were a bit of a joke. I won $6 lol. But if I had lost I would have lost $133 so it was still important to win. Now I’m thinking the smaller bets are probably more profitabl...
Goodbye 200's!

Life happenings...
Kids can drive you crazy but they can also be incredibly cute! This morning Cody was lying next to Summer and they were staring at each other and smiling and he said, “I love her Mommy. Can we ke...
Endless mornings and shedding the baby weight
When your baby wakes you up at 5:30am, morning goes on FOREVER! Summer and I are in a pattern now where we go to bed between 9:30-10:30 every night and she wakes up for a feeding around 5:30-6:30...

Definitely not the greatest day I've ever had...
So I had a pretty terrible day yesterday. Mike, the kids and I were just about to go for a walk when bent over a little bit to cough and felt something snap in my back. Instantly I was in excruci...
Book Description
My name is Sarah. I’ve been married since Sept 2010. I have 2 boys and a girl :) Cody was born July 23, 2011, Miles on August 8, 2013 and Summer on April 13, 2016. I am off on maternity leave until my 3rd is a year old. It’s a busy life but having children has always been my dream. Pretty sure we’re done at 3 kids cuz it is a LOT of work and money to have this many kids but I would love to just keep having kids Duggar style because I love babies and children so much! And as much as they can drive me craaaaaazy there’s nothing I love more than staying home with them. I wish I didn’t have to ever go back to work but my husband doesn’t make enough for me to do that unfortunately. Otherwise I’d gladly be that wife who cleans her house and has snacks and a yummy dinner for my family when they get home at the end of the day.
There are many things I love including all things Harry Potter, theme parks, Florida, knitting, reading a variety of types of books like young adult fiction, biographies of interesting people, regular fiction and some self help books. I also enjoy baking, watching movies and most of all chocolate!!
I’m often losing weight because I’m one of those people who go up and down on the scale a bit despite my best efforts. I’m updating this as of Aug 16/16 and right now I’m trying to lose my baby weight from my current baby who is 4 months old.
