There will always be something to do. I know. But they are little today. And it’s such a little while. So maybe today, Momma…just go PLAY!!

Jul 15 We Really Will Miss This

I was warned by quite a few well-meaning older ladies. But I didn’t believe them. Now I AM a well-meaning older lady!!

Jul 14 Be YOU, Sweetheart

Did you know you were made on purpose? With a purpose? Did you know you were created for His purpose?

Jul 7 This Summer is Different

It’s simple. And slow. Slow enough for riding bikes to the park. Slow enough for catching roly polies. And snails. Slow enough for evenings around our firepit roasting smores.

Jun 25 The Middle Child Has a Special Place

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.

Jun 19 Life Doesn't Go As Planned

Life, Motherhood, Marriage, Faith

Maybe the next time life doesn’t go as planned, we can have faith that His perfect plans will be SO MUCH BIGGER.

I’m learning after all these years. To slow down. To be present. To let the day just…unfold.

Jun 15 Look At Him Go!

He was born LOUD and wild and with the littlest dose of extra confidence and charisma. I couldn’t keep this kid in a bubble if I tried!

She follows me everywhere I go. She wants to be by my side for every single minute of every single day. Forever.

Apr 27 Tonight We Had Cake!

Life, Motherhood

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.

I looked at myself in the mirror just now and thought, “WHOA, I look tired.”

Apr 15 Your Kids Don't Need a Super Mom

Your kids need a mom who laughs and cries and yells and dances and forgives and prays and hugs and loves. And LIVES!!

Mar 10

I cannot imagine CALLING him at college to wish him Happy Birthday. Singing the birthday song with the phone pressed to my ear. Asking him how he is spending his day or wondering “Did anyone get you a cake?”
