For the Moms Who Will Be Up Late This Week
It's 12:36 a.m., and I'm the only one awake in my house. I had to wait until everyone was asleep so I could sneak presents in from the car. I have a feeling this won't be the only night this week that I stay up well-after everyone else has gone to bed. There are just...
For the Mom Who Doesn’t Think She Can Do This
She was on the other side of the wall in the next room. I couldn’t hear what the nurses were saying or her husband or friends. I couldn’t hear what words her family might have spoken to assure her. I couldn’t hear the calm words of the doctor or the likely beeping of...

5 THINGS YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED OF RIGHT NOW
Have a seat. Just stop scrolling for a second. Or thirty. Please. Here are five things someone needs to remind you this weekend. 1.) You get to the other side of this thing. God walks with you and He meets you there and that means it’s all okay in the end. It’s going...
The Pass/Fail Test I Wasn’t Prepared to Take
He had watched his older brother and sister stand on the front porch for their first day of school photos for years. He knew exactly what he was doing Monday morning when I said, “Okay, let’s take a picture before we leave for Pre-K.” He tucked his arms into his...

1. You feel kind of anxious. 2. You feel really anxious. 3. You feel overwhelmingly anxious. That’s it. No one needs to tell you to wait until you can’t breathe or you’re having panic attacks. Don’t wait until you are unable to perform simple tasks or you begin...
I Never Thought I’d Be Here Again
"I have been in seasons of my life when it seems like the sun will never rise, when the darkness lingers, and when the warmth of the morning light seems unreachable. There have been seasons of my life when I believed the darkness and fear boasted of its success. But...
When All of Those Moms Were Right… Mostly
Jax, my three-year-old took a nap the other day – something he hasn’t done consistently in over a year. Consequently, he was up late. At about 10:00 pm, after books and stories and sitting with him, he said, “Momma? Remember when you used to hold me? Remember when you...
Maybe They Do Notice
My husband needs a clean workspace to start a new project. I respect people like him, but I’m just the opposite. Often, if I want to motivate myself to do all of the things I HAVE to do, I take on a project that I WANT to do. It...
My Body Broken For You
I had this mission. Lose all the baby weight. It seemed like a simple goal. Nursing helped. Watching my sugar intake helped. Eating healthy and getting exercise… it all helped. Even though I should be clear that my version of exercise is chasing three kids around....
Anxiety, Stress & The Food The Caused It
If you had told me six months ago that we'd be living this way, I would have giggled and shoved another powdered donut from a bag into my mouth. I mean, I'm not the mom who reads all of the labels, chooses organic over regular, and advocates for chemical-free,...
