If you haven’t already figured this out about me yet, I spend a lot of time thinking about the culture of life I want Levi to learn from the way Greg and I choose to live our lives. We talk a lot about the important of friendships with him and we make our best efforts … Continue reading Living In the Blank Space
2013 was an interesting year. For my little family, it brought some of the highest highs. For me personally, it definitely brought some of the lowest of lows as well. There was far too much death for me in 2013, both the physical kind of death where you lose someone before you are ready and … Continue reading A Year For Redemption
I love New Year’s resolutions. I start thinking about my resolutions right around Halloween and I really think about them…like obsessively….like Greg gets annoyed by how much I think about something most people spend about 2 minutes pondering. But I feel strongly about resolutions and I am a stickler for sticking to them and because … Continue reading 12 Meals
Our son, Levi, loves cars….and trucks…and motorcycles…pretty much if it has wheels and moves on the road, he loves it. As a result he has collected a ton of matchbox cars in his short life. So many that we ended up buying him a special box for them with individual slots for all of the … Continue reading A Box Of Cars

Really, you need to go read her post, not only will it give you much needed information if you are interested in joining her this fall but it just pretty much hits the … Continue reading We Are Stronger Than We Know
Prepare yourselves to be on the receiving end of a mind blowing statement….Kids are hard. I know. You are just as shocked as I am. I think we know each other well enough by now that I don’t need to insert all of the obvious statements about what an absolute joy kids are, how life … Continue reading Just Keep Swimming
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what Levi might be like when he grows up. I’ve been trying to figure out how the interests he possesses now at 2 years old might transfer into his adult years. Maybe he will be a marine biologist or a race car driver. Maybe a vet or a … Continue reading Accept Friend Request?
Summer is in full swing around here and the Perkins family has been busy, busy, busy! But now that most of our summer travels are behind us, it is time to get back into life in the summertime. And around my kitchen, that means firing up the grill for almost every single meal. Allow me … Continue reading The Weekend Grill
