Can we talk for a minute? Just me and you, the reader. As if the whole Internet isn’t watching. I came across an article yesterday that made my heart ache. It was so beautifully and painfully written that I wanted to hug the author at the end. And I also wanted to grab her faceContinue reading “Not So Quiet”

Seas & Fame
The other night Evan was away while I put the boys to bed by myself. Bedtime is not my favorite time because getting everyone to bed in a timely manner takes a lot of time. I don’t usually read to my kids before bed because I’m lazy. But that night felt important. So I readContinue reading “Seas & Fame”
Girlfriends & Lip Kits
Last week, my best friends introduced me to the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit.

It was such a great discussion. And it was also a hard one. That Proverbs 31 woman! She seems untouchable. And inContinue reading “Great Because I Am”
The Birds
I like to think of her as a bird. Not like The Notebook portrays it. (“If you’re a bird, I’m a bird!”) A bird that floats with the wind, wings spread, strong in her wingspan, but graceful as the wind lashes across her face. She flies with intention, flaps when the time is right, glidesContinue reading “The Birds”
Girl, Listen
The past couple of months have been real. Not that my life is make-believe, but my days have felt meaningful. Sometimes I get sidetracked by my kids or whatever spot on my carpet I need to clean, but recently, I feel the sparks of purpose and value. It’s been wholesome. Enlightening. I think back onContinue reading “Girl, Listen”
