I kept thinking about last night’s post and the whole idea of keeping that child like wonder in the midst of the daily grind. Don’t get me wrong, I’m the first to admit that frame of mind can be way easier said than done. There have been more times than I care to admit that… Continue reading Childlike wonder at Costco
No matter how much I think I have things laid out and under control, nothing ever truly goes as planned. On my way to my parents house this morning to drop off Celeste before heading into work, I called my mom to let her know Celeste would be going to VBS today. So I would… Continue reading A whole lot of faith and grace
I don’t even know how l will transform this rush of thoughts into words that make sense because I have tears streaming downing my face as I write this. In part they’re tears because I am a sentimental person and something so simple like a scene from a TV show can pull at the depths… Continue reading My happily ever after
Happy 1st day of a new month! I posted this picture on my Instagram page with the message: Focus on the good, set your intentions, and do your best. My focus this month is going to be on being thoughtful. Often times it feels like we easily fall into the trap of complaining, criticizing, and… Continue reading Chapter 2 of 12

I happened to turn on the radio (which was set to to 95.9; Christian music) on my way to pick up Celeste from school this afternoon and this song came on. At first what caught me was how the singer’s… Continue reading “You Say”
I love this quote and yes, I also love this show too. It evokes all the feels. Pretty much every morning I like to look up quotes that go with what I need that day, and today my keyword was strength. I think for the most part I’m a pretty positive person. I like to… Continue reading Seeing through the the lens of goodness and love
Okay, so let’s be honest here. Even before kids I was always a bit of chaos getting ready in the morning. I would take my time, dilly dally here and there, find myself rushing, but I’d get myself out the door and to work on time. Then I grew up, found a wonderful man, and… Continue reading We either have a good morning or we get to school on time.
I had the most delightful morning today. Last night when we got back from having dinner at a neighbor’s house, I checked my phone and had a message from a new friend. She’s the mom of one of the girl’s in my daughter’s first grade class and we work together as room mom for the… Continue reading Slow down, enjoy life
My husband’s sister shared this beautiful quote with us in a family group text that we have. It’s message so powerful and the essence of what my husband so fervently believes. What I believe too. Sometimes when I am able to find a quiet moment to take pause, I close my eyes and in my… Continue reading Change the world
I’m sitting here while my daughter is in dance class when suddenly my eyes begin to well with tears. And I think to myself thank God there is no one here right now to ask me a question so that I don’t have to lift my face; which is slightly covered by my fallen strands… Continue reading Happy tears
