The other night, I was running the race and the finish line was bedtime. Little people all done for the day, check that box and move on! Bathtime was a process, complete with discovering a little lie that had been told, subsequent discipline and some big life lessons. At first, I was frustrated and immediately […]
I was standing there, looking in the mirror. Maybe you other mamas can relate, but in that moment, I was overwhelmed as I saw all of my flaws – my belly, that not so long ago was rounded out and twice quite literally bursting with life, now just there and sort of limp. My teeth, […]
I spent the days leading up to New Year’s much like everyone else, I imagine: determined to do whatever it takes to make 2021 a better year than 2020 was! I am coming out of the newly postpartum phase of life and feeling like I needed a jumpstart to be feeling good again, and so […]
My Christmas doodle this year! Maybe it’s the fact that I’m just coming out of the newborn season, or maybe it’s that I have so many loved ones expecting this year, but every time I have heard or seen the phrase “buon Natale” this year, it has stuck out to me and made me think […]
Hello there, lovely readers! It’s been a minute! I have missed this so much, but in truth, the past two months just haven’t left me much time (or brain cells!) to write — as it is, you will be getting lots of “3am thoughts” from here on out…please forgive my mom brain ramblings 😀 I […]

Can I write a whole book entitled “Things I Once Thought, That Were Just Plain Wrong”? The newest and latest thing on that list is believing that once God asks you to do something, its always and forever on your plate in the same quantity and capacity, and you may never stop doing it full […]
I didn’t even know what I was going to write until I sat down at this blank page, I just knew that I needed to write today. I just had my birthday last weekend, and as I get farther into my 30s, I start to laugh even more at my younger self and the ideas […]
Ok, so has anyone else ever had theological revelations while reading the Child’s Bible? It hit me the other day as my daughter and I were reading her Bible stories, that there are some deep truths in the story of Noah that I have completely glossed over. As I finished up with her reading, I […]
We are happy first-time homeowners, and after settling in for the first few months, have been avidly watching lots of how-to and DIY home repair and renovation shows and videos as we start to tackle some projects around our new (to us!) home. We really enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to do things […]
