I can't believe my baby girl turns five tomorrow! Where did the years go!? Becoming her mommy has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I praise God every day for the gift of being able to steward over her life!

This past weekend we celebrated her turning five (a bit early in case we ended up celebrating her brothers birthday first), and it was the most magical day!

Maddie is my pink, glitter, and all things girly-girl, which includes a love for unicorns, mermaids, and...

Kids "Charcuterie Boards" are something that I have been making for Maddie since she turned two, as a way of introducing new foods to her. I started by filling a mini muffin tin with a few of her favorite foods, followed with a few muffin tins with new things to try. It quickly became a hit with her (and me, because it was a stress-free way of serving lunch), and I have come to find out it is perfect for how most kids, especially during the summer – grabbing a little bite at a time while...

ITS BABY MONTH! As I look back at the journey to waiting for this baby, I can’t help but cry with thanksgiving! I’ll never forget the years of prayers, tears, and trusting in the Lord for this precious life; And then the promises of redemption I clung to after our miscarriage. Through it all, I have learned to trust God through the storms in a deeper way than ever before, and I’ve seen His faithfulness once again!

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5

Our thoughts are vitally important in light of the current culture. It would be so easy to allow the state of the world to drag us into fear, worry, and even hopelessness. That's why we as believers must think on purpose. Do you harness the power of intentional thoughts or find yourself caught in thought currents that...

If you've been tempted to follow the "Low Carb" trend - I get it! It's all the rage, and some people have even found some success with cutting carbs, but the question is, is it good for our health, and is it sustainable long term?

Contrary to current beliefs, may I suggest carbohydrates aren’t the enemy! In fact, carbohydrates are your brain’s primary source of energy! Instead of avoiding carbohydrates all together, it can be beneficial to cut out processed carbs such as white bread, white...

This past weekend we celebrated our baby boy coming in June with a Baby Sprinkle with some of my closest girl friends! My mom and sister Emily threw the most beautiful sprinkle with the most beautiful details!

The details included Olive Branches throughout, which was a fun way to share our son's name with family and friends, and now with all of you!

Our son's name, Oliver James Farrell, was a name given to us by God on Christmas morning, the day we found out that we were having a boy! That...

"Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." 1 Corinthians 8:6

Father. That name can mean such different things for so many of us. For many, the word Father brings a sense of love and acceptance, security, and tenderness. For others, fear, pain, distrust, or disappointment. Regardless of how you currently feel, it's never too late to know and understand the Father...

Fasting. It’s a hot topic. While there are some controversial opinions about fasting, most health care experts agree that fasting (when done correctly) provides many physical and emotional benefits. As believers, we know that fasting is a gift with more than physical benefits.
