The Kids Behind the Blog
So this month I decided to add my favorite grown up girl to the Kids Behind the Blog mix and I’m so glad I did! Funny how sometimes you think your kids might not have been paying much attention to you all these years but this one, she knows me so well!
What is something I always say to you?
Sorry friend
Hmmm….I do say this alot but I didn’t realize it was THAT much! ha!
What makes Mom happy?
A clean house and cooperative picture takers
It is true….I LOVE cooperative picture takers!! I mean look at them…they are adorable.
And it’s no secret I LOVE a clean house and Jordan even wrote a little poem about the house full of chaos when she was in high school. You can read it in the Smiling Back at Chaos post here.
How do I make you laugh?
Snapchat, telling stories about you and Brian growing up and about when Riley and I were little
I love telling all my kids stories about when they were little….it gives them a laugh and lets me relive those moments that seemed so small at the time but ended up being the most special. Snapchat has been my new favorite way to communicate with my Bigs even though Riley told me I was ruining Snapchat.
What do you enjoy doing with me?
Grabbing drinks and dinner and talking; just the two of us
Me too….I have loved every single stage of parenting this girl but I’m thinking this one may be my favorite! Daughters are just little girls who turn into your best friend!
What is my favorite thing to do?
Have everyone (bigs and littles) home and spending time together
It is true….there is nothing that can fill my heart more than to have all my babies at home at one time enjoying some laughs together.
Thank you Jordan Ashlee for agreeing to play along!
Not gonna say all the hours of parenting aren’t full of blood, sweat and tears….and sometimes a heart torn in two but I will say it is all worth it!

I love this!!! Such a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing and for linking up today! ox
I'm crying. Loved this.
Oh goodness I am so glad you interviewed her. I am such a dork and totally teared up at your daughter comment. I hope I have a great relationship with my girls some day.
The ruining snapchat comment made me lol too.
Thanks for joining the fun!
Love this. Hope I am enjoying a relationship like this in about 10 years!
So sweet. And yes, adult daughters are the best!!
This.was.awesome! You are such a great mama!
I love this! Cooperative picture takers sounds awesome. I'm not to that stage yet, but I hope to be one day! Ha! I loved learning more about you through your beautiful daughter's eyes. Have a great day, friend!
Aww.. I'm so glad you decided to do this with you oldest. My mom and I have the best relationship and I hope I'll have the same with my daughter. Love this!
This is so great! I can tell you two have a great relationship. Thanks so much for sharing at Waiting on Wednesday!
That's very sweet! I love to see moms with older kids still blogging!
You and I did the same thing this month. I had each of my daughters answer. Great minds think alike! Loved this! A nice change to see how our older kiddos know us.
I absolutely love snap chatting with Taylor!
Oh I love that you interviewed your grown up daughter! And I totally agree, I love that I'm best friends with my mom! And I'm cracking up over the snapchat part!!!
Meghan it truly is such a special relationship!! I'm snap-challenged for sure. 🙂
It has truly opened a whole new avenue of communication between me and my bigs!
I can't wait to hop over and read. I've really been wanting to find a new way to include all my kids in this space…so fun!
Thank you Dara! I love being able to include my bigs here too. Now….if I can just get the teenager to cooperate.
Thanks Jennifer. I just love this girl and it's been so fun to see her turn into such a confident young woman.
You totally will Leah! It really is so much fun.
I'm not above bribery Emily! They all know the faster they cooperate the faster they are done.
This of course means alot coming from you since you also know ALL my parenting fails. 🙂
It really has been so fun being friends! Hope you are having a super week Lauren.
I promise you will Tanya!!
Totally not a dork…I always get sentimental reading posts about moms! You totally will have this kind of relationship because you are a great momma!
Thank you Laura….you girls are so going to be the same!
Thanks so much Jessi!
She is BEAUTIFUL and I love that you interviewed her!
That is so awesome! I love the closeness this shows in your relationship! Thanks for sharing!
I love this!!! Being a mom the best and most hard job out there. Happy Thursday my friend
I love that you had the chance to interview a big kid. Most of us focus on little ones. I agree that daughters make amazing best friends.
I love that you interviewed your grown daughter! Cooperative picture takers —> Amen to that! You have a precious family. And, I love that you two are best friends. Thank you for joining in!
Love this! I should ask my boys, but I'm kind of afraid of what they'd say :)!
I absolutely love that you did this with JA! 🙂 Her answers are so sweet, and while I love every stage as well, I'm looking forward to when Mini Fox and I have these moments together too, and shopping and lunch dates.
I love this! What a fun read! You are blessed to have such a great family 🙂
