So the kids are a little over 2 now and are super proud of all they have learned…among their repertoire, they can sing “Jesus Loves Me” on their own and often do, at the top of their lungs, no matter where we happen to be – Walmart, park, pool, it makes zero difference to them! […]

Shower Curtain Days
Hello there lovelies! Today I wanted to talk to you about a phenomenon in my life that I like to call “Shower Curtain Days”. Now, they are something special, and I’m sure they happen to you, just under another name in your world. These are the days that you are waking up tired, maybe a […]
As Good As Dead
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 […]
Through the Fire
Have you ever had a great spiritual truth whack you across the face…like while you’re reading your kids’ books or watching their shows? That happened to me a few times this week as I was reading the kids their stories from the children’s Bible, and doing our Bible story on the YouVersion Bible app. And […]
A Friend Like That
Today, I want y’all to imagine you have a friend. You’ve had this person in your life for forever it seems; they are a given. A constant in your life. You can hardly remember a time when they weren’t there for you. This person is amazing – you can pick up the phone and call […]
Pay It Forward
Ok, reason number 4,367 that you know you’re a mom – the absolute biggest highlight of your week was finding a nice park for the kids to play so you can be outside for awhile! One of the downsides to being in an apartment with toddlers is that there is absolutely no space to play […]
Pinterest-fails
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 […]
Dear Diary
Well, everyone, this one is more of a journal entry than an actual blog post….as of last night, I had nothing earth shattering to share with you, because yesterday was just a Hard day. Yes, capital H hard. I read today in Mark 13:11 to not worry about being prepared, that the Holy Spirit will […]
A Boisterous Wind
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
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 […]
