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...
An old English proverb says, “When we’re in a hurry, the Devil is happy.”
Hurry as we may, that thought should certainly be enough to stop us in our tracks and cause a bit of healthy reflection. For most of us, being busy is a way of life. From sunrise to sunset, an undercurrent of hurry drives our culture. So much so that “Hurry Sickness” is now considered a diagnosable condition. Without the careful pursuit of deceleration, our body, mind, and spirit suffer the effects of hurried living.

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...
If you follow me on social media, you have probably heard me expressing my joy over my daughter Maddie (age 5) growing so much this past year, and how she has become more bold and brave. This was a journey over the past year, and so much of the change and progress we noticed in her came from prayer and speaking the word of God over her.
Since Maddie was born she has always been a tender-hearted child, which is perfectly the way God made her! When she turned two however, I noticed that she...
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...
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!
It feels like yesterday we were announcing that we were expecting another baby,...
