We have a photo of a little girl on our fridge. She stands barefoot in the dirt, wearing a blue dress and a somber expression and she looks much older than her 4 years. Her eyes stood out to me the most when we were looking through pictures in order to choose a child to […]
Passive Parenting: This was something that hit me over the head this week. One of those parenting things you know, but as you see it in your own life, your own kids, it just whacks you upside the head and you’re so convicted! I was down on the floor playing with the kids earlier this […]
Hello there lovely friends! Welcome to my little corner of the world — this update has been a long time coming, and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you! My original blog was born several years ago when I was going through my back surgery, and since then life […]
Ok, this is not a feminist post, I swear. BUT I have always loved the stories of the heroines in the Bible who, whether they realized it or not, changed the course of history. The men were awesome and mighty and faithful as well, but I think its special that God also used women, and […]
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you set yourself up with a new set of goals, a fresh start, or a definitive plan, that’s when you get walloped by a huge smack of life to the face? This was a whipdoozer of a weekend for us! I was coming off of a great […]

Happy (almost) Mother’s Day! (If you had forgotten, that was your subtle reminder to get yourself together before Sunday…you’re welcome!) I was thinking back to this time last year – I was as big as a house and anxiously waiting to meet our sweet baby girl in just a few short days — and now […]
I am a control freak. I am a planner. I am someone who wants to know how it will end up, before I start. I like to know the rules, follow them, and then be happy with my success when it turns out like it should. I like to have knowledge about what I’m doing […]
So I think I’m going to try something different…I’ve been trying to put on my best behavior and write like a professional because I was writing about serious stuff sometimes, like what I feel God is telling me, what I’m going through, etc., but to be honest, it feels stiff and formal to me, and […]
I’ve been praying for the last few days for something to write, and so far I don’t have anything important on my mind to say this week. I am excited that it’s Thanksgiving week with all that that brings – a nice long snuggly weekend with my hubby and baby girl, decorating for the holidays, […]
