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 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 […]
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 […]

Easy Delicious Wheat Bread
6 years ago, after graduating from BYU, my husband’s career in the Air Force began. We, along with our toddler and newborn, moved away from Utah to the other side of The United States. Away from family, friends, and everything familiar. I was so excited for the adventure (and the beach, duh.) I learned a […]

Spreading Kindness with Del Monte
This post has been sponsored by Del Monte. All thoughts and opinions are my own. So … the last few months … am I right? Things have been craaazy! There has been one constant though. I’m constantly wondering how I can be a better parent. A better mom. A better educator. A better comforter. I […]

Life is Good with Darigold Fit
Life has been good. And crazy. And different. And wonderful. And unknown. And happy. Mostly happy. We are so happy to be back together as a family. Even if our life looks different than it did when Mr. E left. It looks different regardless of COVID because he was gone for 70% of a year […]
DIY Wainscoting/ Board and Batten
I literally never thought I would be writing a “home-improvement post”. I am not Tim Allen. I’m more like the first little pig, who built her house out of straw. I’ve never used power tools, I am the queen of cutting corners, and hate slivers with a burning passion. That makes me the world’s worst […]
Best Online Sales
I’m not exactly sure why I am online shopping currently. Sounds like I am not going to have anywhere to go or anyone to see … for like … forever. So realistically I could stay in my pajamas forever. But something about being stuck at home and spending all the money I don’t have makes […]
