There aren’t many things that I consider myself a professional on, but sleeping is one of them. For real, I’ve seen a 30 day napping challenge circulate around on Facebook and I seriously think it’s a challenge that I can get behind! But falling asleep isn’t the only thing you need to be concerned with, […]
It’s Official Now- Adoption Day!
A day it seems like I’ve waited my entire life for finally arrived. From the time I was a teenager I knew adoption was in my future. The when and how part was just a little unclear. So to be sitting in that courtroom on that hot July day felt surreal and time stood still. […]
Donut Thursday and other musings
So this morning I woke up in the mood for donuts. Has this ever happened to you?! (Before we get crazy, no I am not pregnant.) But this week has left we feeling all out of whack and I really wanted a little “hey the week’s almost over” pick me up! And that my friends […]
That time I got my nose pierced
Yes, I may be almost thirty years old, but for 12 years I’ve wanted to get my nose pierced. However my sweet little hubby has NEVER been a fan of the idea. Now I know that I could totally go get it pierced without his approval, but I respect him enough not to do so. […]

Have you ever tried something and then all of the sudden everything just clicked? Well I must tell you, this is the wonderful world of Periscope for me. (you can find me on there at: @naturallyestes) When my sweet friend Alice talked me into doing my first scope, I was nervous to say the least. […]

Here’s the deal, I have seven children and when one of them get sick I often have to load up and take ALL of my kids to the doctor. Not only is that a complete pain and flat out struggle, but I’m taking 6 healthy children where all the other sick kids are. This is […]
