The gym thing- you are so like me. My worst classes ever. At BYU I had to take an Outdoor Recreation Class for my degree (Therapuetic Recreation) and I thought I was going to die doing scuba diving & snow shoeing. Isn't anxiety great? I need to get my kids friendly with the water, esp. the boys with scouts coming up. Love your blog!

Great Blog, I enjoyed my visit, the children are quite wonderful, which is to be expected with the fantastic genes they have. :-)

I second everything Caden's mommy said. I have one child and I have to work long hours out of the home. I go to work from about 5am-6am and leave at 4pm. Jared stays home with Josie until 12:30pm and takes her to daycare in the afternoon. He works from 2pm-11pm...so I hardly ever see him. It's like we're both single parents. I am constantly overwhelmed. I pray several times a

Very very cute! You did a great job!

I enjoyed reading your keeping it real post. I think it is easy to think that everyone is happy and doing great in the blogs. People don't talk about struggles and how they are really doing nearly enough. I know how hard it is to be home with 4 small children while my husband is gone all the time working. He's been traveling all the time

2010-02-06T14:07:43.965-07:00

What a great post! Even though our lives are different, (I only have one child and I have to work outside of the home) I think EVERY mother experiences these same feelings! I've told myself that same line, "he doesn't know any different" because I often feel bad that I cant stay home with him and I have to take him to daycare! It's hard not to feel overwhelmed and you did

2010-02-06T13:53:33.645-07:00

It must be nice to be June! I'd love to go to the grocery store without the kids distracting me and throwing extra stuff in the cart. It would be fabulous to have a husband in the same state to spend time with, with or without kids! Hang in there, Erika! I'm sure you're doing a great job. HF won't give you anything that you can't handle and He knows you better than you!

You're simply amazing-- whether your kids go to the park or not... and whether they watch more tv than they should sometimes (oh, wait-- that's ME!)... and whether it's organic greens or mac n' cheese for dinner. Thanks for sharing this. I only have two kids, and only have one home with me all day, but some days are SUCH an incredibly struggle. And, I need to be okay with that.

Hello My Best First Born :-) I do so love what you wrote and that you are asking for help, that is one of the most important things we are here for, to help each other. And, yes, it is great to be allowed to help. I love you very much, and am always amazed at how much you achieve and what a fantastic mother you are. La Mama

2010-01-25T15:09:05.160-07:00

I love the way you have put everything together in such a coordinated way, you are really great, so creative, but then you have always been creative especially when you were younger and made up stories to keep us entertained on long car rides, and you would tell the stories and change your voice to suit the characters. Great memories. Love La Mama :-) xox

I love it. I have enjoyed reading/watching the transformation. Great Job. I even went to the dollar store in my neck of the woods to find some canvas and picture frames. Thanks. Happy crafting.
