Yesterday was sort of a “blah” day. I woke up in a bit of a funk, feeling tired and dragging my body through the motions of a typical Sunday morning. It’s always a rat race to get all five of us ready and out the door for church on time, and yesterday morning was no …
A Father’s Love
Weekends are glorious. Mostly because my handsome husband is home! Jake’s job requires quite a bit of time during the week, but Saturday and Sunday are all about quality family time. I take a big exhale and relax knowing that we get to take care of the kids and enjoy them together. A typical Saturday for …
Encouragement From A Stranger
Whenever I take the kids out and about, we’re a bit of a spectacle. People see that we have three kids under two, and they usually have some sort of typical reaction about how busy we must be. Which is totally fine. I appreciate people willing to acknowledge how crazy it is! But this week I’ve …
Small Things with Great Love
When Baylen was a newborn, I remember countless nights when Jake and I would sit on the couch and stare for hours on end at our beautiful baby boy. As we chatted about how surreal it felt to be parents, we talked about how crazy it was that this little human would start talking someday …
Show Me More
Routine wise, our days look very similar around here, which means I tend to have the same junctions every day when I switch from one activity to the next. Most days, I don’t give them much of a second thought, and just keep plowing through the day. But yesterday I made an effort to be …
Embracing the Craziness
God is everywhere. Always. No matter what. And His supernatural power is available to help us in any situation. Even in the matter of crying babies. When you have twins, or lots of littles, you get used to a certain amount of crying in a day, simply because you don’t have enough hands to keep …
#31Days of Seeing God In Ordinary Moments
Sometimes I compartmentalize God. It’s easy for me to notice Him when it’s just Him and me during my quiet time. It’s easy to notice Him at church, at my bible study, and when I’m driving in my car listening to worship music. But the rest of the week can be kind of hit or …

Silver Linings
I love being a mom. It is the greatest calling God has ever given me, and I consider it an absolute honor that He entrusts three precious little ones to Jake and me. But unfortunately there have there been moments lately when I feel like I’ve taken it a bit for granted. The stage of …
Summer Fitness Challenge Recap
I wanted to thank everybody who joined me in the Mommy Needs to Move fitness challenge this summer, and for hanging with me despite my lack of update posts during the second half! With three days until summer is officially over, we have collectively moved 3,189 miles, which means we made it from coast to …
