I blinked and I was 9 months into my 4th breastfeeding journey. I still feel like I am 22 and nursing my first baby. But what a blessing to be feeding my fourth, while the other 3 dance and play around us. Breastfeeding has been some of my favorite periods of life. Ones I cherish […]

Walt’s Blessing
We were able to bless baby Walt a few weeks ago and it was so special. We waited until we were a little more established here at our new home so we could do it in our own ward. We’re lucky to be closer to family now, and to have family willing to drive down […]
Walt’s Birth Story
I feel so blessed that I am able to tell this story. It’s a story of miracles, promptings, and trusting in God’s timing. After years of secondary infertility, it feels surreal that we finally get to snuggle our precious little boy. And to those who may be struggling with infertility, I see you. I empathize […]
Why We Moved Onto Base
It’s the million dollar question. I’ve had so many of you ask, “but why did you move onto base? Your off-base home seemed like the perfect setup! It was so cute!” etc. And you’re not wrong. We loved our off-base home. We loved our little English village. We loved our neighbors and, most importantly, we […]
Girls’ Room Refresh
How many refreshes are we gonna do, right? 😜 I know. I know. I have a problem guys. Use code JAMIEERICKSEN for 15% off Beddy’s website! The things is, this room was cute from the beginning. But it lacked a system. It lacked proper organization. And since English homes lack closets, it can be really […]

Homeschool Room Refresh
This is our 3rd year homeschooling! I can’t even believe those words are coming out of my mouth! … Or, my fingers (since I’m technically typing them and not saying them ya know? … ) Homeschooling has been the absolute best journey I never thought I would go on. It has been all of my […]
Sourdough Bread and More
Carbs. My love language. The way to my heart. I adore carbs in all forms. I’ve been making bread for 8 years. But I was stuck inside my comfort zone. The same bread recipe. Tried and true and always came through for me. (It is amazing and delicious by the way, and I still make […]

Traveling with Kids & Rug-Ed
We are a military family. But you already know that. Unless you’re new here, in which case, Hi! Welcome to the circus! I’m Jamie and most of the time, I have no idea what I’m doing. But back to military life, (which is just one of the acts in this three-ring-circus). Military life comes with […]
Reducing Screen Time
If you’ve been following our family for awhile, you may know that we made some big changes a little over a year ago. I’m not talking about moving to England. I’m not talking about following the prompting to homeschool either. I’m talking about our shift from a screen-indulgent family to a (mostly) screen-free family. Let’s […]
Tess’ Bedroom
2 bedroom posts in one month? Why not? I haven’t posted much on my blog in the last (crazy, overseas-moving, military living) 6 months of life – but why not throw up two bedroom reveals within weeks of each other? Listen, I don’t make the rules of blogging. I also don’t live by them. Don’t […]
