As I think about the story of Jesus’s birth I am reminded of just how much of the Christmas season revolves around hope and waiting expectantly.
Most of us are familiar of the story of Mary being told by an angel that she would become pregnant with the son of God, and how she and Joseph had to wait what must have seemed like 9 of the longest months awaiting his birth...as well as all of the obstacles they endured shortly after His birth; But often times we forget how many faithful men and...
(2 months postpartum with Ollie, and now 2 years postpartum after Ollie)
Its hard to believe I am coming up on two years postpartum in one week after having Ollie! This postpartum journey was much different than that with Maddie for many reasons. With Maddie, it took me one full year to feel like myself again, but because of all the curve balls thrown at me, I can honestly say it took me two full years to feel like "myself" again after having my son.
With Maddie, my postpartum journey looked...
Do you know it’s Gods will to heal you in your disappointments, as well as your most broken places!?
Sometimes I think we tuck the deeply broken places away, thinking if we just ignore them long enough, they will eventually resolve themselves.
When I had a emergency C-section with Ollie, I cried and felt so broken that I didn’t have the birth I imagined or desired. I took my disappointment to him just days free coming home from the hospital, and He gave me such a clear word of redemption and...
Good morning friends! Today I'm sharing a look into my life as a mom to two. This season of my life has been truly filled with more joy and grace than I could have ever imagined; And being a mom to two has expanded my heart in ways I didn't think was possible!
Ollie is now 2 months old, which is really a sweet spot in his development, as he has just recently started to smile, giggle, and interact with us! He is also sleeping for longer stretches at night, (anywhere from 4-6 hours), which...
It's hard to believe Oliver will be six weeks old in a few days! We just got his newborn session photos back (by the incredible Dayna Mager), that were taken when he was just days old, and he has already grown so much! I don't know if it's the fact that life with a newborn is busy, or I'm just sleep deprived, but it seems time with two kids has proven to go much faster!
I know I'm still very new to life with two littles, but I will tell you it has been so much different than I expected! I...
Oliver’s Nursery has become one of my favorite rooms in our house! Our goal was to make it a place of peace, and I truly feel it has become just that! From the moment we brought him home from the hospital we have spent countless hours singing to him, rocking him, and reading to him in his room, and have already made precious memories there! I'm excited to share it with you all today! All the furniture and accessories are from Pottery Barn Kids (Rory, Quinn, and Stella collection), Amazon, and...
Sean and I are so excited to be able to share the wonderfully made little boy God has entrusted to us, weighing 6 lb 14 oz, and 21 inches long! We welcomed Oliver into this world on 6/24/22, a historical day that Roe VS Wade was overturned; Which was a pretty special day to be born into this world! Today I'm sharing my labor and delivery story, and how God brought full circle redemption from beginning to the end of this pregnancy!
Early labor started for me on Thursday June 23rd, when I was...
When sitting down to consider what I really need for our second baby, one thing kept popping into my mind: "keep it simple". After figuring things out as I went with Maddie I knew I only wanted to purchase and pull out of storage the products that I will use consistently.
Being that this is my second baby, I have both experience and time on my side, both of which has helped me pick out the products that I feel I will actually need this time around! Time has proven to be in my favor with the...
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!
It feels like yesterday we were announcing that we were expecting another baby,...
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...
