If you think it’s difficult to make it through some of these dreary winter days, imagine the animals that live in your neighborhood. Of course, they’re built to survive in this weather, but sometimes humans unintentionally make it harder for...
The days are a little different now. Three is more. While we’ve been walking through the valley of diapers and nursing, our family has been changing. We’ve been growing, stepping into the next phase, slowly but definitely surely. Without my...
Now that we’ve packed the holiday decorations away and swept up the confetti from ringing in 2023, we’re faced with the cold winter days ahead. Many of us deal with some form of winter blues this time of year, including...
I just reread my post from December 2021 and we accomplished everything except a new book. I’ll point to Conner for my lack of time and creative abilities. But that little elf is worth more than a new book to...
What a year! We have so much to be thankful for, both personally and professionally. We welcomed Conner baby to our team and his older brothers can’t imagine life without him now. We’re beginning to get more sleep at night which...
Halloween is a time for kids (and adults) to dress up, have fun, indulge in treats, and enjoy the last bit of fall weather before Jack Frost comes to town! What a joyful time! To help you and your littles have the...
What does it look like to chase your dreams? What does it look like for you to have courage? What does it look like to push yourself, to hold yourself accountable? For us it looks like 9:00 pm...
Conner Baby joined our family back in April and it’s been a sleepless time warp ever since. What month are we in? What day is it? What’s happening? Are my kids alive? Okay, good. That’s all that matters. :D Since...
We were living in a little row house where we could walk Carter down to the community daycare in the mornings. This particular morning, we couldn’t find any mittens to keep his hands warm, so I grabbed some oversized socks...
Is it too early to hope for Spring? I’m ready to say goodbye to grey skies and hello to warm weather. The other day I heard Carter say, “Dear God, please just make it summer.” My sun baby vibes must...
Damon asked me recently, “What is your favorite thing about being a mom?” The answer came instantly. Lately, my favorite thing about rearing two children is watching them rear each other. The way Carter talks to Deacon, teaches him, helps...
You can do hard things. Now and again Carter whines, as 4-year-olds do, over practically anything. Depending on our patience level, we gently remind him that eating green beans isn’t that hard. Or picking up and putting away his...
Last month we looked back. This month we look forward. Big personal news from the Claus House – baby #3 coming late April, 2022! Yay! And What?! Three babies? While we work two other full-time jobs and trying to...
A new year, a new start. A chance to do things better. Or simply just differently than we how were doing them. The new year is a time for not only reflection, but action. You could ask yourself: What do...
Welcome to the 2021 carter joey Gift Guide! With winter break approaching, we can almost already hear the post-Christmas cries, "Mom, I'm bored!". Often, the best solution to this problem is to get outside. Getting some fresh air (even in...
We're hoping to make it a bit easier to be active, not busy this holiday season by giving you the gift of adventure! We put together a printable list of holiday activities to inspire joy and help you unplug and get active as a family.
It’s like a rollercoaster, this startup life. The beginning of the year was a simple introduction of our hopes for this brand. A “let’s get an Instagram account and try to make a consumer product” idea.
Beyond celebrating the boys, we have another new birth to celebrate—our new carter joey website! Our website redesign is complete. Although we’re always making updates and changes, we’d still like to invite you to check out the site again.
How fortunate are we? That they invite us into their pain, their struggle, and their grief. They ask us to be a part of it, to hear them, to comfort them, and to love them.
