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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hey friends! Sorry its been a bit since my last post – we all came down with one of those winter germs that moves through the house in waves – I think we are finally on the way out of it, but you would not have wanted to read anything I wrote up until now!! […]
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 […]
I do NOT like winter. I think I’ve already written about that like 5 times in the past year…. I hate being cold, I hate being stuck inside, I hate the dreariness of naked trees and brown earth and gray skies. I end up curling up in the corner of the house, hugging mugs of […]
I don’t really tend to read hype-you-up, trendy self help books but now in my old age, my 30’s, I have learned to read the books that offer Christian wisdom based on experience or revelation. I always thought nonfiction, “be better” books were boring, fusty-dusty sleepy reads until I got to a point in my […]
