Sometimes I feel like giving up. I look at what lies ahead of me if I continue on the path I’m on and I decide that I just can’t do it. So I take a break, or cross the goal off my to-do list, not because I’ve completed it, but because I’ve decided it no […]
Mommy Moments {Guest Post}
My dear friend Melissa has been kind enough to share her story with us today. I met Melissa at the beginning of my teaching career when she became my mentor. From that relationship, she’s become my sister as we’ve shared our hearts, laughed until we’ve cried, and then cried until we laughed. I love her […]
Let’s Hear it for Motherhood
A while back, I felt this pull to put the focus of most posts for May on motherhood. Motherhood has shaped each of us, whether you’re a mom or not, whether you have a close relationship with your mama or miss her terribly because she’s already gone home. Whatever mother figure you did or did […]
Community
I wasn’t planning in participating in Five Minute Friday today. As much as I love it, it didn’t go with the theme of the week on the blog, and I just didn’t feel like writing anything. But then I saw today’s word, and I felt the need to write about it. Here you go! My […]

This year my husband and I will celebrate our sixth anniversary, and in this relatively short time, we have endured some crazy seasons. Today starts a new one as Tanner […]
Easy Asian Beef Noodle Recipe
I don’t know about you, but one of the ways that I can easily slip into a rut of feeling less-than-exceptional is coming up with new dinner ideas. When a busy day comes, and I add picky eaters to the mix, I am always happy to find a go-to meal that is easy, actually contains […]
Beautiful in God’s Time + Giveaway
My life is a series of stories that have taken a lot longer to conclude than I pictured when I they were just dreams. I ended up taking the five-year plan to graduate with my Bachelor’s degree after changing my major three times and transferring colleges once. I didn’t meet the love of my life […]
Be Still, Say No, and Know that He is God
I’m taking a different approach to today’s Quest for a Happy Haven post. I’m sharing part of my story to finding true happiness through simplicity in my life. I am not in any way saying that my story is the standard all should follow to be in God’s will. Each of us have different callings, […]
