At the Whim of Arcadia, Eireland, Tristan and Phoenix.

Here is a short essay I wrote for a Boogie Wipes Contest. :) Please vote for me via the link below.

My idea day off? Is it a problem that I'm TORN between running away to a tropical Hawaiian island to a hotel suite with no one there but a butler to serve my every need no matter how silly? Or a day to spend with my children doing all the things our busy day to day schedule won't allow?

No matter how torn, I would absolutely pick the later. I would love to start the day making breakfast with my little boogie monsters- all 4 of them making their favorites, no matter how outrageous or demanding. Followed by eating that delectable breakfast in my bed all together- daddy and all. The day would be schedule free and we could do whatever our little hearts desire- want to go on a picnic? Done! A move in cozy pajamas, hit chocolate and homemade marshmallows? Perfect? Crafts? Painting getting wildly messy? Bring it on.

My ideal day off- making memories with my littles, no mater how crazy or how simple it may seem. I love those guys and they are my life...and life flies by in an instant and before long, ill have all the time in the world to relax in a quiet house free of the noise that my littles bring...you know, the fighting, the screaming, the sticky hands, and crying, but also the laughter, the love, the playing and the imagination that takes place in the world of my children.

My ideal day off is at the whim of Arcadia, Eireland, Tristan and Phoenix! I am simply along for the ride.

Who am I?

Who am I? Very good question, who am I? The simple answer, a Crazy Busy Mom of 4, but are answers ever simple? Answering the ‘Who Am I’ question seems somewhat like a tricky question- Its like when you go on an interview or apply for college. Are you sincerely interested in who I am? Or, are you more interested in who I think you want me to be? Or do you not even care and merely ask on the grounds of a formality. Answering this question gives me anxiety- because, really, WHO AM I? My name is Rhiannon, I am 30 year old and I have blond hair, my Pinterest has over 1500 pins and 48 boards. I have only made 3 things from my boards- I work 70+ hours a week spending a majority of that time with a high school football team that makes me laugh and also terrifies me of raising two boys!   Oh, I am also a wife to a wonderful husband and 4 children, one of whom I was not sure would make it to the age of 5- amazingly; on October 2, 2012 he turned 5. Our next goal is to make it to the age of 6. T

My Home Away From Home! <3

So, here is the deal- I work 70+ hours in a week, this is spread out between 2 jobs. (and usually, 2-3 outfit changes through out the day...no, I'm not kidding.) Yesterday as I was rushing, ok, let's be real, I was in 5:30 traffic trying to get across town, anyhow, I was rushing from one job to the next...I was sitting in my car eating my dinner, which was pretty awesome; peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Keebler Elf cookies, a Baggie of carrot sticks, an apple and peanut butter straight from the container with a spoon. I felt a little lonely, driving, eating my dinner and listening to some music. Now, let me tell you about my home away from home, aka my car, and the type of relationship we have. I hop in at 7:00 am, usually I'm finishing some type of breakfast, oatmeal, a beagle, whatev, but ALWAYS iced coffee. We drop the kids off and blast some music to wake me up a little more- just incase the coffee failed for the day. We hang out until 7:45 when I get to work- m

The Ramblings of a Wife

Steven and I, along with our small group are going through a very convicting and soul searching book by Mark and Grace Driscoll titled; Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together. It is just that- REAL. It's not sugar coated, just for couples who's marriages are perfect or for delusional people who don't think marriages take work- it's for REAL people who are going through REAL struggles or looking how to improve their marriage, serve their spouse and serve their Lord. Like I said- it's convicting. Throughout this study I have learned that as a wife to Steven, I am mediocre at best- sadly. This has caused me to examine my heart, examine my marriage and how I, as a wife contribute to our marriage...and let's be honest, I fall short. This is not to say that I don't love my husband, on the contrary, I love him with my entire heart- with my entire being. Yet, 90% of the time my words are much louder than my actions and I come up short.
