Modest Momma Style: Aztec Sweater (Sponsored by Hazel & Olive Boutique)
Friday, November 27th, 2015When I decided to do these simple style posts again, I knew that I wanted to show looks that mommas could wear in their real lives. I didn’t want to showcase clothes while standing in a back alleyway or along a busy road. Not because those pictures aren’t great, but because they aren’t my typical…

Midnight Mom Devotional : November 27
Friday, November 27th, 2015“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:3 We have the stomach flu at our house right now. I will be honest. It isn’t how I planned on spending Thanksgiving Day. We canceled our lunch with family, stayed home, and just sort of made it through. Having been…

Midnight Mom Devotional : November 26
Thursday, November 26th, 2015“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 You know, when I think about Jesus, I often think about how available He was. The Gospels aren’t full of stories…

Midnight Mom Devotional : November 25
Wednesday, November 25th, 2015When my little ones were newborns, I spent most of my nights awake. I firmly believe there is a supernatural strength that God gives women when they become mothers, because there is no other way a human could operate on so little sleep and so much stress. While my husband did his best to help,…

I’ll Eat Every Meal Cold if It Means You’re With Me
Sunday, November 22nd, 2015I eat most of my meals cold – if I get to eat at all. I don’t prefer cold food. I actually really like eating hot food – especially when I have spent a lot of my own time cooking it. But usually, I am too busy cutting food into toddler sized bites, or blowing…

To the Man Who Opened the Door for Us – When He Didn’t Have To
Friday, November 20th, 2015When the sun came up this morning, I was awake to see it… not because I’m an early riser, but because I had been up all night with my sick little boy. There is this tummy thing being passed around our small town, and I guess it found its way to the Thompson house. It…

Modest Momma Style: Piko Sweater
Thursday, November 19th, 2015Two and a half years ago, I began this website as a fashion/lifestyle blog. Did you know that? It was 2013, and I was a stay at home momma of two sweet babies… and fashion and I were not really speaking at the time. I rarely got dressed in “real clothes” because I was so…

Without Her
Wednesday, November 18th, 2015You think about her. Sometimes it is when your little one calls you momma, or reaches for you, or snuggles in close. Other times it is when you are in the middle of an ordinary day and you look at your baby and remember the gift. You remember the offering. And you whisper in your…

How to Change the World in One Day
Tuesday, November 17th, 2015The events that unfolded on the other side of the world last week have left none of us untouched. We have all been changed. Yes – changed. When hundreds of people were attacked as they went about their normal lives… it is just too much. The holidays are coming, and the whole world is supposed…

Dear Kids’ Church Worker
Sunday, November 15th, 2015Dear Kids’ Church Worker – You fed them donuts didn’t you? The left over ones from the lobby? Or maybe they were animal crackers or goldfish. Maybe those circle vanilla wafers?? Whatever their snack was… they sure loved it. Because let’s be honest they aren’t too interested in lunch now. But it’s okay. Really. I…

The Wife Who Just Needed a Hug – But NOT Right Away
Thursday, November 12th, 2015When my husband has been at work all day, I happen to stay at home with the kids. I know this isn’t the situation for all families. I know that not every woman who has a child stays at home. There are plenty of other ways that families operate. But in our family, I get…

A Different Sort of Stretch Mark
Tuesday, November 10th, 2015I put this stinky cream on my belly twice a day while I was pregnant with my son in an attempt to avoid stretch marks. I read that certain foods helped with skin elasticity and that there were vitamins I could take to help my skin heal as well. But if the lotions and the…

The Christian Who Didn’t Care About a Cup
Monday, November 9th, 2015I will be the first to say that I don’t agree with all of the views that Starbucks has shared over the last few years. I will be the first to say that I don’t drink their coffee. But it is not because of the color or design of their cup or the beliefs of…

Why I Let Her Dress Like That in Public
Thursday, November 5th, 2015Getting my daughter dressed for school is one of my least favorite parts of my morning routine. Well, that is until today. Today, I decided to do things a little differently. I guess if we want to be technical, I actually made this decision late last night after my four year old had finally fallen…

To the Momma of the Anxious Child
Thursday, October 22nd, 2015Okay, we’ve done this every morning for the last nine weeks. It’s the same classroom, the same teachers, the same kids. We know how the morning will go, and that mommy comes to pick you up after you play outside and you eat your snack. It’s the same every single day. So, today, we’re just…
