Sometimes I feel stuck. Trapped. Unable. I look at my 3 little ones and though I’m grateful for them, I get bored.  I feel like a short order cook who continuously pours milk and juice all while trying to keep them alive and make sure the health department doesn’t shut my house down.  The thought […]

I cannot help but think of you two and smile.  So much love to you and happy anniversary!  May this year bring you even more beauty and wonder than ever before.  Love you two!!!!  

This morning Jayden asked to pray at breakfast. “I pray that God would have a great day.  And He’d get to play with all His friends.  And get a rubber duckie.  And He’d have fun at the playground.” I love this boy.  I love this prayer.  And I’m still learning from it.       […]

We had two hours. It wasn’t long enough.  But honestly – no amount of hours ever would be. When I found out that my best friend would be in the States from Japan and along our travel route while we were road-tripping – I planned everything else around seeing her and her sweet little ladies.  […]

The Very Fairy Princess. Chickens. The perfect amount of sass. Hugs. Toddling. LOVE. Every element combined to capture a family that couldn’t be any more precious. Sweet Davis family, move to Atlanta, okay?  I’d love it.  

For the past year (or possibly more) I’ve taken part in a really ugly endeavor called comparing myself to others and feeling incredibly inadequate. And yes, I mean that I’ve taken a VERY large part in this. My main mode of such action?  Facebook. Though I’m GRATEFUL for a way to stay in touch with […]

Oh our road trip.  I miss it.  But here’s where we left off last: Best friends. 4 kiddos. Camping. Talking. S’more-ing. And swimming in a freakishly cold lake. Some of the best memories ever from our road trip.  Even though I was with a sick J a lot of the time.  

This family? AMAZING. Their love? Will change the world. Their hilarious factor? Off the charts. No wonder I love them…  

I will be patient with me. I will stop comparing myself with others. I will realize that the fact that I’m still growing is a gift. I will rest in the fact that perfect is boring. I will push myself. And I will cheer myself on when I start to get frustrated with where I […]
