I had a tiny little lightbulb go off today as I was eagerly replacing my welcome porch sign from the “Hello Fall” message to the “Merry Christmas” sign. As I was swapping the signs, I had a rush of thoughts: “It doesn’t feel like Christmas. I’m still wearing a short sleeve shirt.” “Why hasn’t the

I’ve always loved the outdoors, and recently wondered….why is it just so peaceful to be outdoors? Why is there no place like being deep in the woods among the trees, or at the beach watching the waves? I think I have a better picture of why…. Being out in nature is the physical, direct display

Ever taken a road trip? The excitement of adventure is in the air. Strategically packing the car, getting all your fave snacks, & imagining all the fun, unexpected stops you will make along the way to your destination.

What. An. Adventure! I gave up roller coasters in my 20s, but motherhood is one ride I don’t ever want to get off of! The things I’ve learned (and continue to learn) are so invaluable and have been such an answer to the prayer that I asked of God to not just use me to

I can remember vividly the day I left the hospital not long after having Evey. Questions, some being extremely irrational, raced through my mind as I tried to fathom the fact that she would be left in the NICU with no time frame given of when we could take her home. Why, God? We’ve waited

We recently changed phone carriers and I’m always amazed at all the perks you get just for switching (even after having done this a million times 😑). Gift cards, credits, discounts, accessories!
