Today is perhaps my last quiet day home with just me and the kids for the summer. Monday morning, I officially become a full-time working mom for the first time. It’s a transition I am excited to make, and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities it opens up for not only me, but also my […]
For When You Think You Shouldn’t Try That One Thing You’ve Been Meaning to Try
I started this blog three years ago this summer. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, as silly as it sounds. But I am not the natural-born risk taker. I loathe bandwagons and noisy, pompous words online and in person. No one I knew personally had taken blogging to the level of […]
Making Life Less Complicated
Sometimes I read too much. As I prepared to enter motherhood, I picked up every book recommended to me on pregnancy and parenting. One particular book seemed like the perfect purchase in the book store. Each chapter featured things unique and special to that particular week of pregnancy. I got hooked into pouring over the […]
Getting Back in the Groove
Testing. Testing. One, two, three. Is anyone there? There’ve been a whole lot of crickets and not very much activity in this space for a long time. I’ve been quiet around here; you’ve been quiet around here, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. There are times we all have to step away from […]
The Because of Grace List
If you’ve spent any time around me in the last year, you know I’ve been learning a lot about grace. While I’m confident I’ll never fully comprehend this invaluable gift from my LORD, the bits of understanding I gather from one life experience to the next brings me more and more freedom. And I want […]
Favorite Reads of 2013
This was my year for reclaiming my love for reading! I asked for a Kindle last Christmas, and I’m so glad that I got one. That Kindle and I got to know each other very well in the early months of the year when I was up nursing my newborn at all hours of the […]
I Need Your Help!
I planned to make 2013 a quiet year on my blog because we added a member to our family in January. It’s been a blessed year all in all, and I have enjoyed the chaos and sweetness that comes with being mama to Dash and Daisy. They are the ones that most inspire me in […]
Defining Moments & What Defines Me
Love them or hate them, we will all have defining moments in our lives. You know. Those moments where, even as you’re living them out, you know something inside you is changing at that very second. As I embark on another new year of life, I can recall a great deal of defining moments over […]
Prayer’s Power in Friendship
I know that I missed a week in posting a friendship challenge post. It’s not that i haven’t thought about it every single day, but last week was one of those weeks where I couldn’t write. When time allowed, the words weren’t there. I’ve learned a lot over the past couple of years when it […]
Focus on Friendship Challenge 3
How’s the challenge to be intentional with friendships going for you? Even if you’ve missed the first couple, that doesn’t mean you have to sit this challenge out. You can still catch up, or you can just pick up on this week’s challenge. Speaking of which, have you ever read something that someone else wrote […]
