Fall Decor
Hi friends! Yesterday it was 100 degrees out, today it was 47. As in Fahrenheit. That is Kansas weather for ya! I grew up in Nebraska so I’m pretty much used to it by now. I prefer the cooler weather, so bring it on I say! For me, fall starts September 1st. That’s when I […]
Life & Motherhood
Giggles filtered their way through the glass window as I cleaned up after supper. Three little bare foot girls tossed the softball back and forth. The smallest one, with ringlets of golden brown hair down her back, swung the bat and made contact with the ball. A big smile made way across her face as […]

BUILDING BLOCKS Sometimes it’s the little things that all pile together; much like wooden blocks that little hands stack. One by one they go up, higher and higher. The pile starts to tilt a little to the left so the next block is put on a tad to the right. Things are shaky but everything […]

Today is my husband, Matt and I’s 12 year anniversary. 12 years seems like a life time but also like a fleeting moment at the same time. Like any marriage, we’ve had ups and downs, highs and lows.

I’ve never been a morning person. I think I was the absolute worst in high school. Literally getting out of bed 10 minutes before I had to be at school. Sorry mom. But recently I heard someone say, “If you aren’t a morning person, I suggest you become one.” I’ve made excuses all these years […]

Life & Motherhood
I’ve wrote down the words. I’ve meditated on them. I’ve read them in His word. And I’ve believed them. Words of truth and hope. But every now and then, it sneaks in like a quick moving storm. The clouds start hovering over, the wind picks up, the sun blocked by thick clouds, darkness surrounding […]
Life & Motherhood
The last droplet of milk will fall on this chair. The last swaddle. The last song. Hours upon hours were spent rocking, praying, crying, smiling and laughing. The months have drifted by like the seasons; anxiously awaiting for the new things of the next but also sorry to see it all pass. The sleepless nights, […]
Life & Motherhood
Source “I realize I’ve bought into the lie- that if you think I’m nice, maybe you don’t think I’m smart or strong. Sometimes nice doesn’t feel like enough. Nice feels like a pushover, a doormat, the one you can’t take too seriously. The nice one is the shy one standing in the corner.” “Nice is […]
