I love February for so many reasons, and Valentine’s day of course is one of them. I love all the hearts and the red and the pink. What I love most though is knowing that it’s not just one day. We have a chance every day to tell those around us that we love them and… Continue reading Love yourself and love others
I am a huge advocate of words of affirmation, believing in oneself, and not letting fear getting in the way of accomplishing our deepest goals. Of course I realize it is one thing to promote it and another to follow through with it.

I feel like I might explode from all the goodness that filled my heart today. I saw my entire day from a lense of gratitude, and God’s love and reminder that life is truly beautiful in the good and the difficult.

I desperately want to write more but… Continue reading I never knew tired until I had kids
Somewhere in the first year Celeste was born I bought myself Timothy Keller’s book The Meaning of Marriage. Four and a half years later I have yet to finish it.

It has been an exciting last few days! We went camping this past weekend at Sweetwater County Park in Bonita, CA. The trip was planned somewhat spur of the moment when my cousin reminded me that her daughter still kept asking when we were going to go camping and take them with us. My cousin… Continue reading Reaching up for fresh air
Today my husband and I celebrate 7 years of marriage 💞. Here we are lighting our unity candle. My husband posted this and three other pictures today, which I’ll share later. This picture though reminded me of the biggest commitment we made to each other. To be united, together. We are both such different… Continue reading The good
