I’ll Eat Every Meal Cold if It Means You’re With Me
I 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 on food...
How to Change the World in One Day
The 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 Wife Who Just Needed a Hug – But NOT Right Away
When 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...
A Different Sort of Stretch Mark
I 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 Christian Who Didn’t Care About a Cup
I 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 the...
Why I Let Her Dress Like That in Public
Getting 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...
To the Momma of the Anxious Child
Okay, 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....
An Open Letter to Carrie Underwood (and Every Other Mom) Concerning Mom-Guilt:
Today, I was scrolling through Facebook while my kids played quietly with toys. For the record, I give my kids 100% of my attention. I do not ignore them, but when they are entertaining themselves, I will take my own mental health break and scroll mindlessly for a few...
I Had a Miscarriage
It was a simple picture posted to social media. A man sitting behind his wife with his arms wrapped around her… hands gently resting on the sides of her tummy. She wore the world’s brightest smile and a shirt that read, “Momma-To-Be.” It was how they would announce…...
For the Momma of the Strong-Willed Child
It takes a special kind of momma to raise a strong-willed child. It takes a certain endless amount of grace to continually define the lines of what is and isn’t acceptable all while your child ceaselessly pushes back. It’s hard work marking the same boundaries a...
To My Husband Now That I’m Mommy
Maybe I should have said this a long time ago. Maybe this is the heart behind many of my other writings. Maybe I should have just found a few minutes to put into words what my heart has wanted to say for a while now. So, to my sweet husband, a few things I want NEED...
For My Daughter and For Yours
Yesterday, I took a picture with my daughter and posted it to Facebook. In the caption, I wrote: “She thinks you're beautiful momma. You are just her favorite. They say that the relationship between a girl and her momma changes over time. They warn us that one day our...
