A Pocket Full of Memories
“Mommy….” “Just a second baby.” “Mommy…” “Hang on… mommy is almost done.” “Mommy, do you have a pocket?” “What?” I barely look up from my phone to see what trinket my tiny 2 year old wants me to store for her. “Do you have a pocket, mommy?” “Yes, baby. I have a...
My Promise for Today
I don’t know what I imagined being a momma would be like…but this was certainly not it. The screaming fits for a pink sucker that we do not have in the pantry. The great, big, from the depths of his soul tears for the green light-up shoes instead of the red ones. The...
When Love Runs
“Mommmmaaaaa!!!” There is terror in his voice. I jump up and stumble towards the door bashing my thigh into the footboard of our bed. I put my hands on the doorframe to steady myself and open my eyes for the first time. Thunder is crashing outside, and the wind is...
That’s Where Mommy Was…
I push my babies on the swings in our backyard almost every night. Over the last few months, we have spent hours on those swings. I push, and they giggle and chat and sing and kick their little feet pretending to run through the air. I wouldn’t trade the time that we...
What I Wish They Had Told Me Before I Had My Baby
The warm sun shone through the nursery window as I rocked my 5 day old in a plush aqua colored glider. I had rocked in that chair for weeks before my son arrived hoping he might become accustomed to the feel of it. I thought that maybe if he got used the gliding...
A Lesson on Beauty
*Clomp clomp clomp clomp* “Look, mommy! I pretty just like you.” Her tiny size 6 toddler feet were tucked into the toes of my sparkly flats. She had gone to my closet and pulled them all on her own. She was so proud of herself as she came clomping across the kitchen...
Raising Greatness – Parenting With Love
The pool was closing early for the day. We had arrived not long before, and when the announcement was made... I honestly panicked. If you have ever met a toddler, you are surely aware of their extremely delicate dispositions. Basically, they are always one "no" away...

Hope After Miscarriage
Hope After Miscarriage Author's Note: This post discusses the details of my miscarriage and may be sensitive for some readers. It was a cool rainy September morning just like this one. On that morning, five years ago, hope was fading and fear was taking over my heart....
You’re Doing Okay, Mom
Our quick trip to the grocery store began like every other. Fights over who got to sit in the “baby” seat and who had to walk or ride in the cart and “can we buy this” and “I want that”... Goodness. I was a frazzled mess as always playing referee and keeping glass...
To Women Who Have Chosen Abortion – I Am Sorry
I cannot tell you all of the things that had to happen to bring me to a place of deep sorrow on a night last fall, but I can tell you that my heart was forever changed in a moment. Growing up in an evangelical Christian home, I have always had a “pro-life” position on...
Five Minute Friday: LAST
