Have you guys ever seen those “Pinterest-fail” posts online? It’s so hysterically funny to see the misshapen cakes, ugly crafts and butchered home haircuts – but if we are honest, doesn’t life go that way? I feel like most parts of my life are a game of “Expectation vs. Reality” with me clinging so tightly […]
This is one of those posts that is trying to get out all on its own, and I have to write it when no one else is around because the tears are probably going to stream down my face as I type. For me, writing is, and always has been cathartic, and sometimes it just […]
Blah. It feels like winter goes on forever here in the Mid-Atlantic. The sun was finally shining today, but it was still chilly for most of the day, and we aren’t out of the woods yet with this cold-ish season. I have been having a serious mom-blah spell lately of feeling like I’m stuck in […]
Have you ever had a moment where the enormity of eternity just washes over you like a big, thundering, drowning wave? I have been thinking a lot about grace recently, and reading about it, and watching sermons on it. When you really stop to think about what Jesus did on the cross, as we are […]

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 […]
I was sitting at the table during naptime on Monday and doing my personal Bible study, and it was super, crazy windy out – it started the night before, and was almost shoving our car off the mountain on our way home. It was whipping the trees around, and was whistling through the breezeway outside […]
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 […]
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! We’re back today with the second half of my love post. If you didn’t get a chance to read last week, pop back HERE and read and then come back and catch up! We’re talking about real love this week. Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Hallmark movies with all […]
