Girl’s Camp
Both my oldest girls, Meg and Katelyn, went to girl’s camp in June. It is always something they look forward to attending each year.

Survivor – Johnson Family
So I started watching Survivor during its first season years and years ago. I have not missed a season since. It is one of my very favorite things. It didn’t take long for that love to wear off on my family. Seth, me and my four oldest watch it regularly. My littles also watch it …

Ellie is a mini-me. She follows me around the house most mornings once the other kids leave to school. She cleans beside me, she does her own workouts, she even likes to sit and do my hair while I work. She is my cute little sidekick. When she isn’t doing chores (which mind you, she …

Our Night Owl Loves to Read
Drew has always been good about going to bed on time. He is usually in bed no later than 8:30, sometimes closer to 8:00. For the longest time he would just toss and turn for an hour or two, but he wouldn’t try to get up or leave his room. He usually falls asleep around …
