Happy July! I kind of feel like this summer is passing me by in the blink of an eye! July is always a wake-up call for me. Reminds me to soak up this sunshine and warm weather a little more. With that, I will leave you with an introduction // Q&A with a new blog friend whom I just love! Meet Keri from Living In This Season
(How beautiful is her family?!?!?!) Get to know her and here and go give her some love!
Tell
about your blog in a few sentences.
Living In This Season is filled with honest moments of my
life as a mom of young children, diy projects, recipes, and activities for the
kids. I choose the name for the blog because this is my goal for my life- to be
living in my current season… not in the season ahead or the seasons of the
past… but enjoying the here and now. As a mom this can be hard, because there
are some crazy days that let’s be honest, we don’t enjoy, but to just step back
and remember we only have these moments now.
Why
did you get into blogging?
I have loved following blogs and was always getting ideas
and inspiration from them. I started blogging when we first moved to South
Carolina as a way to keep family back home up to date on our life. However, I
soon became bored just posting on our daily life… so I changed it up. I want it
to be a place of encouragement, honesty (seriously no one is perfect and I want
others to remember that we all have our moments), and inspiration.
What is one of your silly quirks? Or something
silly that you get excited about.
I get really excited about
a good restaurant… my son wrote on his mother’s day paper that the word I say
the most is “delicious”… so true! I love a good meal or dessert!
Favorite movie, song, or TV show?
One of my favorite movies
is Life as a House. It is tragically sad, but just so real and honest about
life which I love. I have many fav TV shows- seriously tv in the evening is a
great relaxer for me. My husband I are currently watching all the old Everybody
Loves Raymond every night, hahaha it makes us feel oh so old! But one of my
favs is Parenthood… I can really relate to a lot of the show and the ins and
outs of parenting!
Any funny stories to share that has happened
recently?
Well let’s just say life with
3 kids under the age of 5 has been a bit insane! It seems as if every moment we
try to go anywhere pure insanity outbreaks! Recently, we tried to all go out as
family and on the way out the door our oldest is as usual the first ready and
at the door. Meanwhile the 2 year old is screaming because he wants his shoes
on, he doesn’t want his hair fixed, the list goes on. The baby is screaming
because she is in the car seat and she seems to hate that thing. I am trying to
throw things in the diaper bag and my husband is grabbing random things as
well. We are both near the table grabbing stuff, there are Thomas the Train
toys everywhere (at this point the thought of making the kids clean up was
overwhelming). I grab my coffee and the lid was not on and spills everywhere…
all over Thomas toys, all over my husband’s leg, and all over me. I look at him
and there really are no words, you have to just laugh. Later that evening, we
all were on the couch watching Curious George before the kids went to bed and
he said, you know our life is like a crazy tv show where it is pure craziness
and you want to scream and rip your hair out but at the end of the day you look
around and see how amazingly blessed we are… so true. *And note to self, make
sure that coffee lid is on tight!
Tell us something we don't know about you.
I am actually insanely
shy! Blogging is perfect for me because it is all online.. but sharing about my
blog or telling friends in real life, I was so nervous! I am working on being
more confident. But I am definitely an introvert (seriously people in high
school didn’t think I talked!).
What's your favorite beauty secret or product?
I am currently pretty
obsessed with EOS chapstick, they are amazing!!!
What's a current dream that you are hoping to
achieve?
Thanks to an amazing
friend and her encouragement, I am hoping to open an ETSY shop soon… details to
come.
What's the coolest thing you've made? (food,
craft, anything)
Hmmm… I am pretty obsessed
with Pinterest. I think my HOME letters for my mantle were pretty exciting and
I am so happy with how they turned out.

May have to check that movie out. I love sappy movies. And your kids are beautiful. So much love there.
So cute! It's so fun once they start feeding themselves, and you'll find there's actually a LOT she can eat! T loved pasta (penne with marinara or butter and cheese & ravioli- Gerber makes those Graduate meals that are amazing!), scrambled eggs, cheese cubes, bananas, and any veggie- carrots, peas, corn... the only way to know if she'll like it and be able to do it herself is to go for it!
As far as the nap goes, oh how I miss those 2 naps a day! T was sleeping pretty much 8-8, so a transition for us was pretty easy. I would just put her down around noon and she would take a 2 hour nap. I might would wait until G starts sleeping a little later to make it easier on you both. Don't worry, she will. :o)
