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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
I announced to you all last post that we are expecting our second child! I am so very excited, but I will be bluntly honest and just say its much different the second time around! I took all the steps to prepare for this pregnancy, and was fit and healthy with good habits in place, […]
Hey everyone! Long time, no post! But that is because I made a promise awhile ago that I was only going to write when I was ready to say what God wanted me to say, so this time, its taken a bit longer to figure that out, and as a result, this is a belated, […]

I had such a vivid example of childlike faith last week. I was in the car with my curly girl, and we were on a little roadtrip on our day off. On the way back, it was beyond naptime, so she dozed off in her carseat in about 30 seconds. (I remember car naps being […]
Hey y’all, I’m back! Happy October! If you missed it, I wrote last month that I was going to take the month of September off to have a little end of summer sabbatical to rest, seek God and spend time with my family. I am so excited to be back, but I LOVED taking a […]
I was reading the what people call the “Faith Hall of Fame” passage in Hebrews the other day – if you haven’t read it recently, check it out here. (Noticing lots of “faith” themes in my posts recently?! These days I’m learning all about not knowing but believing and going just the same!) The whole […]
Today you get the product of my thoughts while I was pushing baby girl on our hot sticky morning run the other day when I was off work. Our MORNING. RUN. Now, if you know me at all, you know that I am NOT a morning person, and I am NOT a runner….and yet, here […]
