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 …

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 …
Seasons
Lately I’ve been in awe at how God uses seasons to remind us of his faithfulness. I took my kids on a walk this morning and as the crisp fall air hit our faces (how cute is Mckinley Jo in her little hat, by the way!), my mind immediately thought back to a year ago …
Sunsets
One of my favorite things about our house is that it sits on top of a hill. When we look out our back windows we are able to see clear beyond the homes behind us. Each night as the day comes to an end, our eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful sunsets God paints …
Good Moms
Someone shared this with me recently, and I just have to share it with you. Good moms breastfeed. Good moms formula feed. Good moms vaccinate their kids. Good moms don’t vaccinate their kids. Good moms co-sleep. Good moms use cribs. Good moms have hospital births. Good moms have home births. Good moms adopt. Good moms …
You Are Precious
I love my kids more than it’s possible to describe. They don’t have to be doing anything special to prove themselves worthy of my love. I simply delight in watching them during the simplest of moments. Baylen will be splashing at his water table, and I find joy in just obvserving him while he’s at play. Or …
Body Image After Babies
Emersyn and Mckinley are now 11 weeks old. Thankfully, my hormones seem to have settled down and I feel much more like my usual self. Don’t get me wrong, I still have anxious moments when I feel overwhelmed but sheesh…I am thankful not to be crying at the drop of a hat anymore. Those first …
Mommy Lifelines
I can honestly say that since the girls were born two and half months ago, I have been working harder than I ever have in my life. I have an around the clock job, which on average means I’m putting in 15 hour days, and then am “on call” for the remaining hours while my …
