All I Want Is My Kids To Live Love Out Loud
My twin girls are two years old and are at an age where they repeat what I say constantly. The other day I was carrying Emersyn from the house to the car and I dropped something. I said, “Oh shoot!” And the very next words from her mouth were, “Oh shoot, Momma!” Then there was …
When You Long For More Than Motherhood
This weekend I went to the Influence Conference. It was a much needed girls’ weekend with my sister-in-law, Madison, and my friend, Laura.

Right Where You Are Is Exactly Where You’re Supposed To Be

Why Moms Get Emotional On The First Day Of School

For The Days When I Don’t FEEL Like Being A Mom
This summer we decided to put our house on the market. Houses were selling fast on our street, so we thought we’d give it a try too, and find a different house and location that makes more sense for the long term goals of our family. WHAT was I thinking?! I have four kids under …
Even In Miscarriage, He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands
A few weeks ago I was pushing both of my boys in our backyard on their swings and we were singing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” This is one of their favorites. Gavin loves to dictate what person we are going to sing about next. He’s Got Daddy Brady in His Hands …

Bringing Your Sexy Back When You’re Married With Kids
Last weekend my husband and I had the opportunity to spend a couple days together without the kids. We try to do this a couple times a year, and each and every time we do it I’m reminded why it’s SO IMPORTANT. Having children has been hard on our marriage. It’s one of those …
