So Here I Am...

Hi everyone!

My name is Erica and I am a twenty-four year old wife and stay-at-home mom. I was formally a first grade teacher, but after my son Jackson was born this summer, I decided to forgo teaching for awhile to be my son’s “first and best teacher,” as my principal put it. My husband Matt works in full-time ministry at the bible camp we met at almost ten years ago. I will share more about us and our life later!

The Husband and I

When I found out that I was going to be a SAHM, I immediately started following as many mommy blogs as I could. I had so much fun delving into the lives of all kinds of different moms and moms-to-be, and I couldn’t wait until it was my turn to experience all the joys and even struggles they were writing about.

I tried blogging when I was in college, but school and work soon kept me from being able to commit a lot of time to writing. After reading so many mommy blogs throughout my pregnancy, I started to think, “Maybe I should try that again…” So here I am, attempting to share my experiences as a stay-at-home, first-time mom. I can’t guarantee that everything I share will be interesting, but I do know that after being a mom for seven weeks now, that crazy is just something that happens daily, so I’m certain it will be fun(ny)! If anything, I am excited to be able to document and record the first years of my every growing and changing little boy. Every day and second that we have with him is so precious, and I don’t want to forget these sweet days.

So welcome to Life and Love on the Hill—a title that I will soon explain in another post!
