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 […]
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 […]
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 a moment this weekend where I was deep in the grumpies. We are all sick for the 3000th day in a row, and it is honestly just wearing on me. We don’t sleep well when everyone is up coughing, and then days are filled with trudging through, wiping snotty noses and dealing with […]

And as a plus, equations where “pleasing God” is the final […]
Hey everyone! Whew!! – it has been a hot minute since I’ve written! My fingers are a bit stiff on this keyboard 😂 I had every intention of writing before now, but as luck would have it, we have all been fighting the never ending cold/sinus infection war for the past month and a half […]
I have a confession: I love beautiful things. Colorful landscapes, vibrant sunsets, beautiful clothes, cozy homes, well done decorations, new pretty journals, amazing paintings, fresh-painted nails, even good landscaping – give me all the pretties! When I’m “relaxing” I like to troll Pinterest or Instagram and just look at all the beautiful things that are […]
One of the things I have learned in 2019 is to be careful when you say “I’m not…” or “I don’t…” or “I’d never…”….. Before you know it, God will take those exact things you said you weren’t, didn’t and would never do, and will build you a new identity there, founded in Him, in […]
