To some this is just a picture. To me, this is much more. Today, I layed one more piece of my stubbornness down at Jesus’ feet. Though I thought I already did that, clearly I had one more layer to let go of. You see, this picture has been in a box in the kitchen…

Putting My Foot Down
Yesterday, I blew my lid over the most ridiculous thing. Mike asked me to call Verizon and get my new phone activated. Just that little request put be over the edge. I yelled. I said some things I should’ve have. I said some inappropriate words. Why? All because I was asked to call Verizon! Clearly,…
Shelter in Place Promises
I want to address my absence for the past few weeks. I’ve been feeling really odd about blogging during this awful time in the world. Seriously, as I write this, someone is dying. It feels awfully insensitive to be sharing my deepest thoughts about something so minuscule compared to life and death. We are now…

I found myself really enjoying the homemade meals when I had my first son. (No, I’m not trying to gloat. I’m giving my backstory.) Baking…

The Black Hearse
Today I went to pick up my son from preschool, and the church next door was finishing a funeral. I saw the cars. The black hearse. The car behind it with what I assumed were the family members of the deceased. Immediately my heart sank. I feel so deeply for those people. To know that…
I’m Not Jealous
My best friend is pregnant. Though I’m OVER THE MOON excited for her, I can’t help but feel a little sadness for myself. P.S. I’m not jealous. Why would I feel sadness for myself? I have two adorable little boys. I’ve done the first time mom thing, and I’m now doing it again with my…
