What's in a name?

So in case you wonder where the name for this little blog came from it's kind of an inside joke between the hubster and I. You see we ofen refer to our current state of our life as being in 'survival mode.' Our family consists of two full time working parents, 2 active boys, 2 rowdy dogs (one of the craziest things we've ever done) and there are moments when it feels as though we are living in survival mode...doing whatever it takes to get through the moment or the day. I can't speak for the hubster, but luckily that feeling doesn't last more than a day for me. So this is survival mode...and it is beautiful.
