Dear Daughter: Kindergarten Edition
Dear Daughter, Six short years ago I dreamed of you. When I felt you kick in my tummy I knew you would be a girl who loved an adventure. You’ve been strong from the beginning and you’ve loved deeper than any child I know. Your fears are small and your courage is big. And noContinue reading “Dear Daughter: Kindergarten Edition”
Hope Unfolding: A Book Review
Title: Hope Unfolding Author: Becky Thompson Publisher: WaterBrook Copyright Date: 2016 I was introduced to this book while visiting a Mother’s cLife group at my church.

Dear Daughter (Part 3)
Dear Daughter, It’s been a hard week. Long days have led to tantrums and meltdowns. Emotions are high and tears have been shed by both of us. Growing up is hard for Mommy too.

#PostRealLife
We all follow a person on social media who seems to have it all together. Six kids, a book deal, the immaculate house. Their constant posts invoke instant envy for those of us REAL people out there. We find ourselves scrolling through our news feed rolling our eyes and muttering under our breath. “I couldContinue reading “#PostRealLife”
Happy Mother’s Day
I will be spending this Mother’s Day at home snuggling with my little girl. I will never complain about that although I hate that she’s been battling a fever since Saturday morning. Staying home means breaking traditions (if you know me you know that’s a big deal!) I’m sad to miss the epic family dinnerContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day”
Adventures of a First Time Soccer Mom
A few weeks ago my family embarked into uncharted territory. For the first time our daughter was going to participate on a sports team. A lot of emotions came into play when making that decision.
