Since becoming a mother, God has been particular about showing me just how much of a choice He gives us. He doesn’t force our hand in anything, but by the Spirit guides us when we are in Christ, and we can choose to follow Him or to live in the flesh. I say then: Walk …
I was inspired to write this post when a stranger recently told me, “It must be so nice to just hang out at home all day.” I’m not typically one to be easily offended…and I wasn’t necessarily offended…but it struck me that there’s probably a lot of ignorance out there as to the actual work …
As a new-ish mother, keeping some kind of sabbath has been a rhythm I’ve had to figure out in a new way. I mean, let’s face it, moms…we don’t really get a “day off” from caring for our children. To be honest, I wouldn’t want a day off from this important responsibility. Even still, I …
Now about 2 months into our solids journey, I’ve learned a lot, let go of a lot of expectations, and cleaned up a looooot of food out of my sweet babe’s hair and rolls. It’s no secret that I enjoy cooking and learning about nutrition, so when I say this journey has been FUN, I …
At the time of writing this, I have just over 6 months of experience as a mother. So, yeah, I’m a mom to a 6-month-old. So, no, I can’t necessarily give advice on disciplining and training children. What I can speak to, however, is the fact that the baby stage is not a free pass …

It started at roughly 3:40am, not yet 4 hours into September 27th, 2022, when I woke up and thought it was time for my middle-of-the-night pee. In third trimester, that was typically a three-times-a-night ordeal. I did …
Seeing as I’m now 35 weeks pregnant, I have a pretty good idea of this third trimester thing now. (Cue all the moms who have been pregnant laughing knowing that 38+ weeks is a whole different ball game). So, I thought it would be fun to document and share my pregnancy eating habits over the …
I have often said that marriage is the second greatest gift God has given me on this earth, next to salvation in Jesus and a life knowing and serving Him. And it is completely true. I have a husband who I am madly in love with, who is my best friend, the person who can …
WOW it’s been a while since I blogged. I was writing so much at the beginning of this year, and now, here I am at the end of June and I haven’t written since January. I’ve missed this space and I’ve missed you all! The main reason I haven’t written since January, you ask? As …
