The Baptism of Logan


Logan is my 10 year old nephew and I love that kid so, so much. I can't even describe it. Before I was married, I had 3 handsome nephews, Logan, Carter, & Eli,  and 1 gorgeous niece, Abby. (By marriage, I have gained 3 more beautiful nieces and 4 more handsome nephews!) This is one of the most recent pictures I could find of them all together. They're a great bunch of kids. I love them all to death. Logan is definitely very special to me, though. That's not to say that the others aren't special to me as well, but Logan lived with us until he was 3, so Logan is not only my nephew, Logan is my little brother. I will always feel that way.




He is being baptized this Sunday and I am so, unbelievably proud of him. Logan, I love you and I hope you will always be my buddy that I carried with me everywhere and took with me to the park. I pray you'll seek the Lord in all you do and that you'll look to Him for your future. He has something huge planned for you, and I'm not just talking about your height! I love you more than I can explain and I would do anything for you. You are an amazing kid. I hope you always know that. I love you! I am so, so proud of you!



Love,
(Aunt) Erin!

Crazy Love

I think I promised a really, really long time ago to tell the full story of how Randy & I met and got together. It really is a crazy story, and it definitely shows The Lord's hand in bringing us together from a very early time. Since it's Valentine's Day, now seemed like a good time to share "the story of us." photo by McKenzie Baird I'll begin with where things start from my end... When I was about to be a senior in high school, my mom was going insane because I wasn't even thinking about which schools I wanted to attend once I graduated. I had no clue. I didn't even know where to begin. At that time, she was working at our church in the creative arts department and a friend from church, whom I didn't know well at the time, was interning with the youth department and told my mom about her university a few hours away. Before I even knew what was going on, we were scheduled for a trip to go visit and I was furious. I had a boyfriend bac

Coconutty

So I'm on a little bit of a coconut kick. I saw something on pinterest the other day that said something to the effect of "if you have issues with your hormones, coconut oil can help!" and it talked mostly about hormone issues with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is another crazy condition I have. That one is pretty common among women, though. It's no big deal for me, but it can be for some women. I thank God for that one. The person said to just drop a dollop of the oil in your coffee in the morning and you get the benefit without too much of a taste change. Also, coconut oil has natural fats that your body needs and it actually can help your body lose weight . Yeah. Fats that make you lose weight. Cool, right? Also, I really like coconut, so this is like candy for me! Coconut oil has also been proven to help with memory (especially EVCO when taken on a daily basis) and while on Topamax I need all the memory boost I can get! It can get a little rough some

Naturally Skeptic

Lately, I have been looking into what many have, especially these days. I have been trying to convert to more natural living. I am always really careful to take everything I read about natural products with a grain of salt because I believe humans were given the knowledge needed for medicine (which, are often made from plants!) for a reason...even though we often abuse it! I believe everything should be done and taken under doctor supervision, especially if it's supposed to treat something major, like a heart condition. I recently had a woman at a farmer's market who tried to tell me not to take medicine for things like blood pressure and such after I told her I believed herbs and remedies were great for certain things, but others needed more serious treatment. I only mentioned it to her after she told me she had some type of a "medical degree", thinking she might understand my view. Definitely skeptical about what kind of degree... I just kind of nodded, smiled,
