She carries her children’s joy and sorrow. She carries their goodness and pain. And every night she casts ALL the things she’s carrying off to Jesus as she prays over her children’s souls.
Hey there! I’m Mikala—a family doctor, wife, mother of 5, well-being advocate, and author of the books Ordinary on Purpose and Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife. Each month my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!

She carries her children’s joy and sorrow. She carries their goodness and pain. And every night she casts ALL the things she’s carrying off to Jesus as she prays over her children’s souls.
Let’s cherish the gift of watching our precious babies grow into EXACTLY who they are meant to be.
I am teaching my children how to love and be loved…and so are you!!
Christmas is CUMULATIVE!!!! It all adds up!!! MOMS, WE DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL EVERY YEAR!!!!
Days filled with grocery store trips and basketball games. Sprinklers in the backyard and family hikes. School activities and tiny hugs. Sibling squabbles and quiet moments reading books before bed. I know without a doubt I’ll miss these crazy, busy, messy, lovely, growing-up days.
You’re so squished right smack in the middle of five kids. But then I watch you for a while, And I realize God put you exactly where you are for a reason.
She follows me everywhere I go. She wants to be by my side for every single minute of every single day. Forever.
When someone is sad, don’t try to fix it. Or rush it. Don’t gloss over it. Or pretend it away.
I want you to know it isn’t often this way. We aren’t that sweet of a family. Please don’t think we’re over here making sweet fuzzy memories every moment of this weird and difficult time.
THIS messy, chaotic, lovely little life right before your eyes is filled with the most beautiful ordinary moments exactly as it is…and it’s breathtaking.
