Just plain thankful
The past few weeks my family and many others in our church have entered into a time of fasting and prayer. I even had the privilege of writing a passage in our 21 day devotional for our church. In this time I’ve been taking advantage of looking at my phone less and looking to The…

Dollar Store Christmas Hacks

And then there were three
It’s 12pm in my hours and its totally quiet. My house is clean and all my kids are napping. I can hear wind through the trees outside and the humming of airplanes in the distance. I sit on my couch looking at my 2 month old sleeping in her bassinet and think for a moment…

Grief 1 year later and a new life to come
We are just a few short weeks out from meeting our little girl and I’m excited, hopeful and understandably nervous. This time around I’m doing a planned c-section and this is the end of the road for my season of pregnancy. We will be done having kids at 35 and now will raise the gifts…

8 weeks and counting
Today we had another ultrasound for our little girl. She continues to be a miracle one day after another. A few months ago we had an ultrasound done and the doctors were a little alarmed that she dropped from 17th percentile to the 9th percentile. Now she has boosted up to 30% and has not…
