What a great day! And not because we did anything spectacular for my 30th, but because we spent it together. I’m a celebrate absolutely EVERYTHING kinda gal, and I always chose to celebrate BIG. For some reason lately, I’ve found myself praying that I’d learned how to slow down. I’m learning ...

Marriage: I Want You To Keep Fighting
Friends, I'm praying that if you're feeling like your relationship is falling apart, as I honestly sometimes do too, you would take comfort in the lyrics of the song “Broken Together”. Go ahead; listen to this while you read. Please know that Jesus' hands are not just for comfort, but also for ...
Marriage: 2 Tips for Productive Communication
Dear Wives, We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That place in a conversation where we keep repeating ourselves and nothing is getting accomplished. The same conversation seems to drag on for days, possibly even weeks. Oh goodness, has it really been weeks? Yes. It has. Mr. Awesome and I ...
Jesus Heals Brokenness
Brokenness. So I busted the lid of my slow cooker tonight. I was putting a dish away with the shelf pulled out and another dish fell behind down onto the crock pot lid, shattering it. Glass was in the cupboard and splattered around the floor and I couldn't help but think, "this stinks" ...
Be a Wife, Then a Mom
I work so hard to be a great mom; especially as a homeschool mom. I spend hours researching curriculum, getting to know my children, their learning styles, their interests and so on.

Mother’s Day Weekend
A look at this picture should give you a good idea of what this Mother's Day weekend looked like for me. After 2 years of seriously looking we finally decided on new flooring last weekend and picked it up on Saturday. I was relieved to have finally put in an order & start the next step. I don't ...
Hope
I think too often I hope for things to change, but I don’t put in the effort to change the things I want to see changed. I am a woman who can do hard things, so why don’t I just go ahead and truly DO them already? In my marriage we’re coming out of a season of necessity where my husband has worked ...
Go For Broke Day, I’m All In
I’m a huge fan of bizarre holidays. I look for a way to celebrate or put a theme to whatever I can. I have so many dates to celebrate marked on my calendar it’s ridiculous… and awesome. Did you know that today is “Go For Broke Day”? It’s a day where you put it all out there, and take a risk. ...
Texts From Dad: The Church
From my dad: "This is the church where your mother and I got married." Okay so maybe he isn't very poetic, and this picture doesn’t spark a hundred emotions within you like it does for me, but I know my dad’s big heart and this sure made me smile! Just take another look at the picture, would you? ...
