The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. It’s where every meal is prepared, and you probably put a lot of effort into getting healthy food on the table! But, did you know that some of the dishes you cook with and the cleaners you use may contain chemicals that can be toxic to your families health!? If you consider health a top priority, and want to reduce your family’s exposure to toxins, the kitchen is a great place to start!
Today i'm sharing six simple kitchen swaps to...
For a long time, food had way too much power over me. I thought about it constantly. I judged myself by it. I punished myself with it. I used it as a measuring stick for my worth, my discipline, my holiness, my “progress.” And yet, ironically, the more I tried to control food, the more controlled I felt.
If you’ve walked through eating disorders, disordered eating, or even just a complicated relationship with food, you know exactly what I mean. Food becomes loud. It takes up mental space it...

The day I went into labor with Ollie, Sean had a dream in the hospital that we were standing together on a beach as a family of five. I remember laughing and telling him, now is not the time to...
There is something I want you to hear today, and I pray it sinks deep into your heart. If the enemy is fighting this hard to knock you down, it is because God has a powerful plan for your life. The devil does not waste time attacking what is not a threat.
If you have been facing a battle in your mind; Fear, anxiety, doubt, discouragement, confusion, or relentless mental battles, it doesn't mean you are broken. It may mean you are a threat.
Today I want to share part of my story and what the...
I have received a lot of questions lately about counting calories, so I wanted to share my perspective, especially after reflecting on how my views have evolved over the years.
In general, I do think counting calories can be helpful in the beginning of a health or weight loss journey. It can teach you how to read nutrition labels, understand portion sizes, and become more aware of what is actually in the foods you are eating. That awareness can be incredibly valuable at first.
However, I do not...
Okay, can we just talk about mornings for a second? The way you start your day really does shape everything else (whether you realize it or not).
I know some of us get a little sick of hearing about the whole “morning routine” conversation. I understand that. It can feel a bit dramatic and like too much pressure. Like, surely my life isn't being decided by the first few minutes after the alarm goes off. Right? But the longer I’ve paid attention, the more I’ve realized that my mornings quietly...
“ The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. ”John 6:63
As a new year unfolds, it’s natural to think about what we want to add. Better habits, healthy routines, building faith. But sometimes the most life giving thing we can do isn’t adding at all. It’s letting go.
Jesus reminds us that life doesn’t come from striving harder in our own strength. The flesh profits nothing. It is the Spirit who gives life. That truth invites us to release the things we have been carrying that were never...
“So let us not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9
We all have days where we trip, fall, and feel discouraged. Days where motivation feels completely absent and pressing forward toward our goals seems exhausting. This is true for every single one of us.
I experience these days too. Moments where I feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or lacking the drive to keep going with the same stamina and enthusiasm.
So the...
I’ve been journaling for as long as I can remember. It’s always been a sacred part of my walk with God. A place to remember what He’s showing me, to write down His promises, to reflect on His goodness, and to meditate on His Word.
This year, one of my goals is to deepen my prayer life. I love to pray and have always made it a priority, but if I’m being honest, I know I can go deeper... And I want to go deeper!
I have made a commitment to go deeper in prayer in the past, but I haven't stuck...
Sometimes I forget just how endlessly creative God really is. I tend to picture Him working in big, obvious ways. You know, splitting seas, moving mountains, doing the impossible. But lately, He’s been reminding me that He is just as creative in the small, personal details of our lives. He loves to surprise us. He delights in honoring the desires of our hearts, even the ones we whisper about or hold onto quietly, unsure if they’ll ever happen.
I’ve seen it firsthand with my kids recently.
