I recognize the Lord telling me that the words I say, the phrases I repeat, and the tone I use today will echo for more than just my years here on Earth. What comes out of my mouth will carry through my children and their children's children.What an honor that could be if we allow the Lord to work ...
Quick Life Update: November 2022
Surprise! This summer I have been quieter here on the blog, yet making plenty of noise over on social media. Take a peek at our announcement on Facebook and a slightly different one over on Instagram. The Lord has given my body the opportunity to carry another little one! After 2 years of ...
Wife + Momma
There isn't an easy way for me to adequately describe the depth of the joy and honor that I feel to be the wife and mother of this family. The love I have for this tribe is overwhelmingly beautiful, intense, and never-ending.Gathering around the table for homemade apple pie (my grandma's recipe) ...
Favorite Bible For Pre-Teen and Teen Boys
If you are looking for a great bible for a pre-teen or teen, and really, boy or girl, I encourage you to check out The Action Bible. Our son, who is now 14, loves this book! When he first got it he was 10 years old and the graphic images were a little startling. It did not make a great bedtime ...
Recipe: Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookie Donut
From toddlers to teens I'm grateful for every season I've had with my children. (also, if you are just here for the gluten free peanut butter cookie donut recipe, I give you permission to scroll down). I'm telling you this because the media tends to speak harshly about the teenage years, and I ...

Our Easter Sunday Outfits
DEAR MOMS OF LITTLES WHO ARE GETTING READY FOR THE EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE AT CHURCH, OR SOME BIG FAMILY GATHERING- I just want you to know that 3 out of my 3 children are wearing the same clothes they wore last week to church, and 2/3 of those kiddos may have pulled their clothes straight out of the ...
You Can’t Give it if You Don’t Have it- So Get It!
As I got ready for bed one night this week I walked past this sight, in the middle of my living room floor. Our cat, who we call #slightlybetterbrownie on social media, was checking out the tracks left out by my kiddos. Normally I would've told the kids to clean them up before bed, but I was away ...
Teaching Him To Sew
My little guy is HARD on his clothes. I swear he doesn't mean to be, he just lives life fully. He had been wanting to learn how to sew for quite some time; I always had an excuse as to why he wasn't ready. Really, I wasn't ready. It's work, and the machine was expensive. He was too young, I was ...
A Toy They All LOVE: Pattern Blocks by Learning Resources
We’re snowed in and enjoying our traditional post-Christmas morning. Ordinarily the kids would all be off in separate rooms happily occupied with their new toys, while Mr. Awesome and I continue trying to assemble whatever hasn’t been put together yet. This post contains affiliate links. Visit ...
Too Many Words Wednesday: Christmas 2015
I know the holidays are beautiful and fun and meaningful, as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas. I'm seeing “It” everywhere; the modern day Christmas cheer. My social media feeds show me perfectly decorated homes, happy moms baking with their kids, husbands buying their wives jewelry, big ...
KonMari: All Things Books
As I told you at the end of November, I’m going to be going through the book titled “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing”. You can find a link to the book at the bottom of this post. When you're going through this one of the first things you’re ...
The “Will Somebody?” Trend
I’ve noticed a growing trend. There has been a very popular phrase around my house the past few months. It starts with "Will SOMEBODY...." You can fill in just about anything you'd like after that: Will somebody turn on the light? Will somebody turn off the alarm? Will somebody put away my ...
Officially a Teenager, But Always My Baby
Just like that, I'm the mom of a teenager. Moms of littles, believe me when I say all the clichés like 'don't sweat the little stuff', 'it's only a season', & 'you're going to miss this'. It's all true. Every single word every seasoned mom has muttered to me about enjoying my children while ...
Happy 3rd Birthday, Sweet Girl
Sweet Girl, Tonight I am going to put you to bed as a 2 year old. When you wake up (I’m guessing at about 3:30am, and again at 6:30am), you will officially be a 3 year old. Man, just when you got the hang of admitting you were 2, and not 15 when people asked, you’ve got another age to ...
