Hi, dear readers! I am so humbled that you take any time at all to read this blog. It truly has been such a joy to write here for the past 9 or so years. As a writer professionally, it’s been the place where I write, almost journal, both my thoughts and Biblical Truths just …
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 …

I typically do not endorse “What I Eat in a Day” videos or content. I’m certain that the vast majority of the people consuming it have disordered eating and are watching to compare, copy, or covet. And I don’t want to contribute to that. However. I have been wanting to share an example of what …
Today’s topic is simply me adding my agreement to the reality that it’s not only OKAY, but BEAUTIFUL to actually “look like” you had a baby. Every woman is so incredibly different in every facet of pregnancy. Some women get stretch marks. Some don’t. Some gain a lot of weight while pregnant; others struggle to …
In the first several weeks after having my baby boy, I remember wondering, “How am I ever going to be able to cook meals again, let alone have time for it?” My case was unique in that I was on bedrest after severe tearing, so even standing up took great effort and was very painful …
This topic was prompted by a special moment I had with my 8-month-old son about a week ago. We were out of province for a wedding, and it was bedtime. Theo’s bed for the week was our Pack ‘n Play that we purchased a mattress for to hopefully make more comfortable for our boy. After …
