My 3 Girls

Okay, so the title of this reminds me of that show, "My Three Sons." Isn't that a show? I'm fairly certain it is indeed a show though I've never watched it. If my title were really inspired by the show, I suppose it should be, "My Three Daughters," but the extra syllables weren't all that appealing to me so let me introduce you to My 3 Girls.

Elsie and Claira!

and that's all for now folks, lol! I'll have to introduce our newest addition later.

My name is Mandalynn. I'm 28, and I drive a mini-van. 'Nuff said.

Or perhaps that's not enough to say. In that case, I have 3 sweet girls and am married to one totally great guy. I love Jesus and hate haircuts. I wish I could sew.
Most days you'll find me:
Trying to find the time to make myself a cup of coffee.
Reading books to my girls.
Making lunch.
Doing laundry.
On facebook.
Changing diapers.
Hauling my girls to dance class.
At church.
Shopping online. (because let's face it--stepping into Homegoods again feels like a dream at the present time)
Avoiding the dishes.
Listening to my children's stories. (hey, those two go well together!)
Making chocolate milk.
and well, a thousand other places that may seem rather mundane to most people but are totally and completely the most simple and best parts of my day, of my life.
I love to read, though these days I don't drift too far from Pinkalicious, Fancy Nancy, and the Bible. I love to bake cookies almost as much as I love to eat them. My best days are those spent with my family. That mini-van I mentioned? It's not so bad. Oh, and I LOVE taking pictures.
