Friday, July 31, 2015. Enoch Blake August - Birth Story. Baby Enoch made his appearance to our family just ever so slightly after his due date at 3:24am on July 1, 2015. He's beautiful, precious, and perfect. Jared and I just can't stop staring at his cute handsome face and wondering how on earth we made such a cute adorable baby! But that was all I needed to feel reassured. Is it over yet? I went from a 4 to a 9 in TWO hours! At this point they offered to break my water to speed things up a bit, but wit...

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Lately I’ve been overwhelmed with how blessed my life is. I just watched a youtube video called “He is the Gift”. Its about Christ, and my gratitude for Him, for His sacrifice, for His love, for His grace just overwhelmed me as His love enveloped me. I am so blessed to have the Gospel in my life. I’m so blessed that I have a Heavenly Father her loves me. He loves ME, wholly and completely. And he treats me like a queen every day. Lastly, I’m grateful for gratitude. So my life ...

Friday, October 31, 2014. The RM Issue: My Conclusion on How to Teach YW About Choosing an Eternal Companion. With my most recent post, I received A LOT of feedback. I have contemplated that feedback a lot, I have tried to measure the feedback I received against what the prophets and apostles have taught. I have tried to figure out how I can teach my daughters and the YW I interact with about choosing a potential spouse. Are her shoulders covered? Etc) and elevate them to the point of celestial entrance ...

Smile Always: March 2015
http://live-laugh-love-lindsey.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 19, 2015. So though I do have discomforts, they are swallowed up in my gratitude for this pregnancy and the sweet baby growing inside of me. I'm definitely not perfect. I definitely still complain sometimes, but overall I feel pretty fantastic! I have exactly the life I want and I couldn't ask for more! Monday, March 2, 2015. I just decided to write this. I get asked the question, "How're you feeling? Or "How've you been feeling? If raspberry leaf tea did nothing else for me, it eliminate...

Wednesday, October 7, 2015. Is that ALL that is Required? And they are never the same again! And in 18 short years, my little boy will be that adult, and I won't get to hold him and snuggle him while he sleeps anymore. I won't get to be his everything, his whole world anymore. Those things change way before 18 years! He is so precious and beautiful and sensitive and intelligent. I love to make him smile, but he also loves to make me smile! Being a mom is so hard! It just all seemed too overwhelming.

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Today I'm 22 weeks pregnant. It's been 3 weeks since we announced our pregnancy and I feel like in that time I've gone from barely showing at all to a distinctive baby bump, where people can tell its a baby and I'm not just gaining weight. I posted my first bump picture on facebook and I keep going back to stare at it, like, "Am I really that big? That fact is just super amazing to me! I'm so excited for this this little boy to get here and to be his mom! Throughout the whole ...

Smile Always: All You Can Do is Enough - Month 3 of Motherhood
http://live-laugh-love-lindsey.blogspot.com/2015/09/all-you-can-do-is-enough-month-3-of.html
Thursday, September 24, 2015. All You Can Do is Enough - Month 3 of Motherhood. This month as we've began the transition OUT of the 4th trimester, I have really started to find the joy in motherhood. Things that were so so hard in the beginning have gotten easier. I've relaxed a little bit and let go of a lot of what I thought or was told "should be" and have just enjoyed watching my baby learn and grow! With other babies, it was cute for a while, but with my baby, it never gets old! I'd Rather Be Here.

Tuesday, June 3, 2014. What I Learned as a First Year Teacher. I was slightly worried about not being able to get a job outside the district if I went through their program, what if in the 800 jobs it was just my luck that I didn't get hired. But I was told by the program recruiter that ALL of their interns find positions every year. So I'm thinking, "Sweet! Well, actually what was happening, looking back in hindsight was that the Spirit was telling me, "Run away! Ain't no teacher got time for that!

Friday, September 4, 2015. I See the Light - Month 2 of Motherhood. Lately I’ve had the song from tangled coming to my mind a lot. I listened to it with Enoch this morning and realized that the lyrics fit pretty perfectly how it feels to become a mother. All those days watching from the windows. All those years outside looking in. I spent years and years on the outside looking in at motherhood -. Watching most of my friends become mothers as well as taking care of children in my jobs. I love this kid so ...

Friday, May 29, 2015. My baby is going to be here so soon! My life as I know it is about the change forever! I have a lot of mixed feelings and emotions about this. Mostly I'm super excited! He's going to be wonderful and amazing and I'm sure he'll be the favorite of all our kids! He's my favorite after all, so why wouldn't he be theirs? I can't wait to "brainwash" our children while he's at work and tell them how amazing their daddy is and how much I love him! And "Mommy loves you the MOST daddy! I can'...
