nice to meet you! i’m erin.

i’m so glad you stopped by! to be completely honest, it is weird to write about myself. but when i visit other blogs, i love to learn more about the writer. so, here we are.

as you’ve probably noticed, i have a thing for lowercase letters. the truth? it kind of started out of laziness. in college, i could type an email so much faster if i didn’t stop to capitalize. technology has come a long way, but since my LITTLE lists started back in college, the habit stuck {much to my husband’s eye rolling}.

i grew up in indiana, moved to florida after grad school, taught, got married, had my first baby, and now we {+ 2 more kids} are back home again in indiana {in a suburb just outside indianapolis}. i love it here. i enjoyed the florida sunshine, as well as my job as a teacher, living near family, and making new friends, but there is just something about the midwest. yes, i can see my neighbor’s house. no, i am not surrounded by cornfields. there are some nearby though, along with an ikea. that’s why indianapolis is perfect – friendly people, all the happenings of a big {enough} city, and scenic fields and red barns just a short car ride away.

my busiest roles are as wife and Mama.

my husband keven and i met at indiana university, back when we were young and fancy free. it was love at first sight. kind of. maybe. we were both members of the iu student foundation and we were in charge of the same committee. romantic, right? i thought he was dreamy and he thought i was cute but we pretended we were just friends until that one time he asked me on a date {but i wasn’t sure if it was a date}. as it turns out, it was.

now we’ve been married for almost thirteen years. we have three kiddos. our son E is nine, our daughter K is seven, and our daughter C is three. sometimes we have it together and sometimes we don’t. you’ll see pictures of both here on this blog because both ways are important to this grateful life we are building.

the story behind this picture? the two oldest were on their way to their first day of school – virtual school – meaning i was their teacher. yep, headed right back through that front door to our dining room table turned classroom. everyone home, all the time, under the same roof, day in and day out. whether it’s a staged picture where i beg people to smile or a candid snapshot of our everyday life, i can assure you, at the end of the day we are grateful.

in my life before kids, i was a full-time teacher. now i spend my days juggling life at home with our kids {which has gotten just a LITTLE bit more hectic lately} and working as a copywriter, designer, and tutor.

a few more LITTLE details.

my faith is important to me. i am not an expert in it and you do not have to be religious to appreciate the LITTLE things. but for me, the LITTLE things are God moments in my otherwise hectic day.

i am the oldest of four daughters and my sisters just might call me bossy. they {caitlin, meghan, and molly} are my bestest friends. we are so alike and so different at the same time. they make me laugh harder and smile bigger than anyone. i can’t go a day without talking to or seeing at least one of them.

when i grow up, i want to be just like my parents. there aren’t enough positive things to say about them. imagine everything good you could ever want in a mom and dad and that’s them. i will never know how i got so lucky but i am determined to pay it forward.

in addition to my family, i have a handful of fun, genuine, kind, one-in-a-million friends who i adore. they are spread across the country and without our daily group texts i would not stay sane.

it is never calm around my house. ever. the LITTLE things help me keep my head above the chaos. i love to organize, plan, and create. i go on vacation to the home store. i am part type A perfectionist, part creative spirit, and sometimes that makes things interesting {just ask my husband}. i hope what you find here will inspire you to find make room for your own happy, no matter what kind of day you are having.

notice the LITTLE things with me.

as it says in the LITTLE background, my gratitude habit started in college on a whim {because what other ways do things start in college?}. no one was more surprised than me when what began as a very basic daily email {and was supposed to last just 40 days} evolved into a blog and now gratitude-filled lifestyle.

and i can’t wait for you to join me!
