I like to know where I’m going. Like when I’m following directions, I know my next four turns before they arrive. Preparation. No surprises. In other words, the exact opposite of parenting. Last night I laid in bed planning out the next year for Asa. His bedding, clothes, haircut, things to buy. And then myContinue reading “Nothing & Everything about Parenting”

What a Mom Wants
I’m preaching to myself today as much as anyone else. This week has been rough, despite the great celebrations of my son’s first birthday and the discovery of a third boy entering our family soon. But guys, let’s be real, the devil never rests, so I’m speaking Truth a little louder for you & forContinue reading “What a Mom Wants”
Twenty-four
Two days from now, I’ll be 24. I love birthdays, I love celebrating other people’s’ birthdays. But this year…whoosh.

I’m trying to learn how to give myself grace just as my creator has done for me. I don’t always give myself enough room to breathe, enough space toContinue reading “Plus One”
Hey Momma.
My nearly 8-month-old has begun crawling over the past couple of weeks. He is a fast little boy who likes to throw his toys, squeal, and snuggle. I already know one very important trait of his that I am certain will carry him far: passion. He feels deeply and expresses greatly.
With or Without Us
My son Asa will be six months old in a couple of weeks. Time only seems to be going faster and faster, I can only imagine what it will be like when we have another child. I don’t document every milestone with him like I did for Liam. They say you become much more laxContinue reading “With or Without Us”
