The Night She Didn’t Call My Name
She didn't call for me tonight. I stood a few steps outside of her bedroom door after I put her to bed and waited. Nothing. She didn't cry standing at the edge of her crib reaching for me to lift her out like she did four years ago. She didn't get out of a toddler bed...
The #GoodMomMovement
This isn't for one group of moms. This isn't for moms in one season of life. This isn't for just a few of us. This is for each of us. To the momma in waiting who is all together thrilled and terrified... Who has done as much as she can to get ready for her little...
Because Sometimes Motherhood Means Doing it Tired
It’s 5:15, and I’m tired. But I’m here with my three children, and I don’t have the option to just stop. Have you ever felt that way? I am sure that it has been said more eloquently by someone else. I’m sure that there are ways to talk about the deep exhaustion that...
Can You Just Stop?
Can you just stop!? I must holler that across my house half a dozen times a day. Stop fighting with each other. Stop teasing. Stop being big brother(ish) just because you can. Stop complaining. Stop whining. Just stop. Please. Just… stop. I’m not usually upset....
Three Reasons I’m Fighting With My Husband
Parenthood is like the perfect storm holding all of the necessary elements to create intense arguments between a husband and wife. Jared and I discovered this shortly after we brought our first baby home from the hospital. Like most parents, we had no idea what we...
This isn’t the Mom I Want to Be
I yelled. It was the end of the day, and no one was listening to me… and I just yelled. I’m not talking a raised voice or “you are in the other room and can’t hear me so I’m going to shout.” I yelled. Get back in here, and help me clean up these toys THIS minute! I...
Beware of Quicksand: How One Stranger’s Comment Changed My Marriage Forever
I called my husband to ask him a quick question. I knew that he was busy at work, but I hoped my short conversation wouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience. I was wrong. He was right in the middle of an important project. My call had not only taken his attention, it...
A Letter to My Children About the Future of Our Nation
"If My people who are called by My name put away their pride and pray, and look for My face, and turn from their sinful ways, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14 Since you likely won’t read this for...
You Figured it Out
They sent you home with this little life. There was no instruction manual or easy user guide. There wasn’t a cheat sheet. All you had was your baby and your best judgment and God’s endless grace for the new mom. But you figured it out. You figured out what each cry...
To the Momma Up in the Middle of the Night
Shhhhh. I won't take much of your time. I know you're busy. I know you're tired. And I know that more than anything you wish you were sleeping and your little one (or not so little one anymore) was sleeping too. I thought I might keep you company for a second. I know...
To The Mommas Who Made It And The Ones Who Didn’t Make It To Church This Morning
I’ve been known to joke that on the seventh day, God rested… and moms everywhere wondered what that would be like. Let’s be honest, I’m all for rest. Rest is so important. But I’m also a mom of a 6, 4, and almost 2 year old, and those restful moments aren’t...
For the Momma Whose Arms are Full
I had just turned off the lamp in my bedroom when I heard her cry from across the house. Just down the hall from her baby brother’s room, my four year old daughter's confused words were faintly filtering through the baby monitor on my nightstand. I sat up and started...
