This is the 'Blog of Many Hats' where I cover a variety of subjects that moms deal with from day to day. A Christian with an Anabaptist perspective, I will share a glimpse into my life as a Mennonite Mom giving life/mom tips that I have learned along the way!

It's hard to believe that Lexi is one already! Where has the time gone?!
Also, have you every tried to do a photoshoot with a 1 year old? It's quite the workout for 'mom photographer' and takes a lot of work just to get a few decent photos.
So lady like...
I'M SICK OF THIS, MOM!!!!
A few keepers...
In this week's video, I show you behind the scenes of a 1 year old photoshoot and how her cake smash took a rather unexpected turn (much to my horror!)
TOO MUCH BIRTHDAY!
What a crazy 'week in the life' with a lot of laughs as my mom tried to master riding a 3 wheeled etrike, (we've been having ..read more

I wasn't planning on posting this week, but as some of you said, you prefer just a quick hello to nothing... so here it is! complete with the cutest of all combinations; babies and puppies!(:
My mom is a true gem, and we had such a great laugh as she kept attempting to master riding an etrike!
Can't wait to share that with you next week!
So a quick hello from GREEN AND SUNNY Pennsylvania. I hope you are doing well in your corner of the world.

To celebrate Mother's Day, I asked 10 different moms these three questions;
What is one of your greatest joys of being a mom?
What is one of the most difficult things with being a mom?
What advice would you give your younger self or other young moms at the beginning of their motherhood journey?
I greatly enjoyed chatting with each of these ladies and was so honored to have my mom and Nolan's mom agree to share as well! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did and
Happy Mother's Day everyone!

I tend to be the person that gets into rage cleaning, as I like to call it, and things get chucked out the door as fast as I can possibly heave them out! (usually followed by regret a few hours or maybe a few days later when a glaring husband and son are asking me where xy and z disappeared!) Can anybody relate?!
I've been trying to do better in that department, so in today's Day In The Life video where I tackle a small decluttering project, I make sure to check with him first. His answer did surprise me!

This past week has been absolutely crazy with an adventure that I cannot wait to share with you all! However, today I'll show an extra sneak peek just for those of you on my mailing list! Thanks for being here, it means so much!
P.S. No video today.
I have a new endeavor I'm working on to go along with the Youtube channel (I'm so so excited about it!) and I really wanted to share the story behind it with you all!
Nolan wanted me to go.
He said that if we are going to go to the effort of getting baby sitters, he would rather make it worth it and not go when work is involved. He offered to stay ..read more

It seems that cooking videos and "What I eat in a week" videos are favorites for you all, so I brought the camera with me (a few times almost forgot) to give you all a peek into one week of our meals!
I even have an epic mess up! So if you are a person that thinks you aren't a great cook... you can always think of me and tell yourself... "At least I'm better than Jeannine! She didn't even know to precook her pasta shells!"
Here are links to two of the recipes I used this week... Carnivore Meatballs & Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

If you are anything like me, life can add so much to your plate that it can be hard to juggle it all. For me, a clean house is so important in my overall state of mind, and yet it tends to fall to the bottom of the to-do list when I'm overwhelmed with other tasks.
So over the past months, I've been making this one small change (it's not revolutionary), but it has been for me, to my housekeeping routine, and it has helped me so much in staying a bit more in control of things.
I hope you enjoy the video, and make sure to let me know your tips in the comments!

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with Sarah Alimowski; a lovely lady who is a true inspiration and blessing to me. Growing up in a very mission oriented family has given Sarah a unique perspective on life and she shares some of her thoughts and admonition on the topic with us. We had a great time chatting about missions, children, family travel, and more... I hope you enjoy sitting with us as we chat about life!

Because of an airplane cancelation in February 2022, we had received free vouchers that had to be used up by the same time this year. We decided to take advantage of them and go as a family on a short getaway to a location we had never been to.
If you didn't know any better, you would almost think this island was down in the Caribbean somewhere, but it isn't; it is right here in the good ole USA! (a bit pricey in comparison to the Caribbean, but never-the-less, a great spot that is closer to home for many of us).
I had a goal for trip but things took a bit of a downturn (the sometimes not so g ..read more

Hey, hey my lovely friends, just letting you all know that we are back to posting on Youtube! Many of you have been asking when we plan to return, so here's the official announcement that we are back and hopefully on a schedule again! ("hopefully" - the key word here )
In today's video, I discuss some of the questions and hard things I was going through (and was once again reminded how great I am at rambling... sorry!) in trying to make sure we understood God's will for our family.
So thanks for being such a great support over the past months, it means so much, and let me know what kind of vid ..read more
