The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

June 5, 2013

{i want to remember} – 6/5/13



I can’t believe the last time I wrote one of these posts was last September!  Jotting down a few of the little things in my life right now…


I WANT TO REMEMBER… how our Little Miss gets a twinkle in her eye when she gives you a “kiss” and then proceeds to chomp down on your lip with her two little teeth.  

I WANT TO REMEMBER… the utterly exhausting adventure that is raising brothers.  They bicker often and sometimes there are tears, from them and sometimes even from me.  But that moment where M declares that D is his “best friend in the whole world”?  Or I hear J say, “Good job, Mi-mol!” while they play a computer game?  Or I find the three of them in bed together reading books?  Those make it all worthwhile.     

I WANT TO REMEMBER… “bacon date nights” with my husband.  You mean you don’t watch movies with a half pound of bacon to share?  🙂

I WANT TO REMEMBER… this time in my life as I have begun to LOVE exercise.  I am alternating days with running and weight training, six days a week.  My diet is mostly clean, but also realistic.  I feel strong and like I can take on the world.  Dreaming big dreams and planning to run a half marathon next spring.  

I WANT TO REMEMBER… what a blessing the Penpal Project has been in my life.  Since March, I have sent out almost two dozen packages to sweet Mammas around the country.  And more to go!  I feel so honored to have the opportunity to spread joy to these amazing ladies.

    I ran my first 1/2 marathon (and only I guess) spring 2012. I loved it and hope to get back to running once this baby gets a little older. Love your blog, glad I found it!
