Chaos?

Life raising three little ones is...chaotic, stressful, loud, overwhelming and sometimes so incredibly hard.

BUT....it is so rewarding to watch them learn and grow. I am so blessed to be called their mother. All 4 of my children are blessings and I am eternally grateful to live in this chaos and raise these 3 miracles. God is so good!

A snapshot of today's chaos. Yes, this is my living room.

In the Works

Be sure and check out my very first post.

I'm so excited to be starting back up a blog.  I've been trying so hard to chronicle this fast-paced time in our lives. I apologize in advance if some of my posts are "boring".  Their my memories that I will print out one day.

I have several posts in the works  so today I give you a photo dump.  Enjoy!

Welcome!



Welcome to With Hope, The Hadley’s!

I’m glad you’ve come by to visit.  I hope you’ll stick around and tag along as I blog about our day to day life, homeschooling, raising micropreemies and all the other randomness I may throw out here. 

I'm Karmen.  I'm married to my sweetheart.  I'm a mother to a 4.  3 here on Earth and 1 waiting for me in Heaven.  I had triplets all on different days.  {That time was (and honestly it still is) one of the hardest times in my life.  I hope to write about it one day, in due time.}  I'm addicted to Army Wives and I love Mt. Dew.  I am a follower of Christ, a homeschooling Momma, lover of all things crafty, Pinterest junkie and a little bit OCD.  I'm sure we could all find something in common. 

There are a few reasons I decided to rejoin the blog world.  (Yes, I’ve done this before; and honestly I wasn’t very good at it.)  I want an easy way to document this time in our lives.  I don't have time to sit down and scrapbook anymore.  These times are precious to me and I want to always remember them.  Also, I want to connect with other moms.  I’ve found myself staying home a lot more these days because packing up 3 kiddos (2 of which are preemies {if you can still call them that at 8 months}) isn’t actually very easy.  I, like I’m sure a lot of you, need adult interaction throughout the day.  (I’m on Twitter and @karmenhadley on Instagram.)  And my main reason…I have a story to tell.  (We all do.)  I want to share our story to encourage someone or give someone walking the same road I did some hope.  So add me to your feed and tag along as I tell my story.
