The word “routine” describes our week fairly well. Because of that, I really don’t have that much to write. (I know…Ellen at a loss for words?) Really, I’ve been so exhausted that my brain isn’t even functioning at full power. Two more teeth have come through for Layla! That brings her up to 6. I […]

“Mama, is it Deep Creek time yet?” Alethea asked me yesterday. While it has been a glorious winter with so much snow, after the super warm day we had on Wednesday, I think we’re all ready for it to be Deep Creek time! My brother and my youngest sister have been making day trips to […]

Welcome to the Jalosky Weekly volume 3 post! If I’m lucky, this will actually be posted on Saturday when it’s supposed to. Haha This week was mostly about celebrating Grammy’s 59th birthday and the beginning of Lent. On Saturday morning, we took Grammy out to Bob Evans for breakfast before she went to dialysis for […]

Life pretty much never goes as expected around here. Like this post for instance, it was supposed to be published yesterday. {facepalm} Not even a joke, as I finally sat down to write this, Layla hurt herself…twice. That’s just how it goes around here. Also, I hurt my shoulder/neck on Friday and the last couple […]

Here we are. A new chapter of my life. The one where I take a break from social media. It’s funny because I’ve thought about doing this so many times for years but never could muster up the courage to actually do it. I had to take a long hard look though at my stats […]

Merry Christmas!!! I can’t believe it’s here already. What a year it has been. I’m sure you can echo my feelings that 2020 has felt like the longest year of our lives. But even with all the bad things that this year has brought, there was so much good! The Lord has been faithful to […]

Today, we remember what happened 19 years ago. I was 8 years old on September 11, 2001. I remember that day very well. I can remember waking up, and going down stairs to eat my breakfast. I looked over the staircase to find my whole family in our living room. Everyone was sitting there in […]

Layla’s Birth Story 20 non stress tests. About 12 ultrasounds. 644 needle pricks. 67 shots of insulin. 1 healthy baby girl. That’s how this story begins and ends. But let’s rewind just one day, to March 12. That Thursday came around and Jonathan went to work as we had planned. I had pretty much everything […]

I thought yesterday was Tuesday. That’s about how great my days have been going. Things have been pretty chaotic around here, and truth is, I haven’t sat down at my computer to do really important things let alone think about another blog post! Hopefully these crazy days are coming to and end. Have you ever […]

At nearly 9 months old, Alethea’s first Christmas was an absolute dream. She really was the perfect age to be in wonder of it all. She loved looking at our Christmas tree each morning, and opening presents on Christmas day was incredibly exciting! Just wait until you see her face! We spent Christmas Eve morning […]
