To My Fellow Moms, Expectations can bring fulfillment or disappointment, more often than not, probably somewhere in-between. I have seen posts on social media about moms just wanting a day to themselves for Mother’s Day, no husbands or kids in tow. Maybe a spa day for one, ending with a night in a hotel eating […]
“I’ll pray for you.” I see these words typed out over and over again- when tragedy strikes, when troubles come, when sickness and suffering ensues. When conflict and violence take place. When tears flow. I’ve declared these words hundreds of times myself. Saying them is easy – but do you follow through? I’m going to […]
She was decorating her little pony made out of playdoh and wanted to make little stars to adorn it. The star cutter shape we had was much too big, so we tried cutting out little stars out of the doh- but it was not working and we were left with little lumps of doh that […]
At the end of the year I always like to take some time to reflect on the last 12 months of my life. I journal on a pretty consistent basis so skimming through my entries helps me remember what actually went on in my life for the year. Last Christmas my sisters, mom and I […]
Do you every worry, “What do they think of me?” Going over past encounters in your mind- what was said, what should’ve been said, what you regret saying.

Maybe I’m a little crazy but we decided (well I decided and talked Matt into it which wasn’t hard I might add) that we should get a new puppy! With 4 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 cat already- some of you may think I’m a little cuckoo but I have total peace about adding Marley […]
This morning on my walk/run (first time in a LONG time), about 20 minutes into it- my left heel started burning. Unknown to me it had been rubbing against my shoe and now was red, sore and angry. I tried pulling up my sock to cover the spot for an immediate fix but with every […]
Hello! As we are nearing the end of the school year, my calendar continues to get fuller and fuller. May is always a crazy time of year for us- lots of things to do, people to celebrate and time to close the chapter on one school year and prepare for the next! Typically in May […]
Last night I had a dream- a dream that was so vivid, so real. I was driving down a paved road that leads to my childhood home- dark surrounding- my headlights creating sight in the black night. When all of a sudden, hundreds of people filled the road all walking towards me. At first I […]
