Through good and bad, sadness and joy, my heart lies with showing the goodness of God in all seasons. Especially the messy ones.
Every day society tells us that life has to be perfect and orderly to be beautiful. Our day-to-day should be a nothing less than perfect. We need a flawless aesthetic, a five year plan and perfectly curated social media. There's nothing glamorous about disorder and uncertainty. It's not "normal" to struggle.
But God wants to use those ugly parts, too. Those broken memories, those hidden struggles, and those less than beautiful moments.

I missed week four last week, so in case you’re interested in what we had going, you can follow me on InstaGram to keep updated! I meant to post my photos from last week, but life got in the way and I just never made it that far…so I’ll just have to bypass week four […]

Know a blogger that should have made one of those fancy “Top SomethingOrAnother” lists a long time ago? Check out The REAL 100 and submit your nominations! The last few days have been rough. Scratch that. Make that the last week. My work is winding down. I’m putting finishing touches on about five websites and […]

We had our very first (and most likely our only) baby shower on Sunday! One of my closest friends Jessica absolutely out did herself on the decorations and the food. I know most of you have never been to Kodiak, much less spent an extended amount of time here, so I’ll just put it this […]

I’ve been in a bit of a creative rut lately. I blame part of it on pregnancy and the fact that I spend about 80% of my day wishing I was sleeping. I missed the memo that, even though I was utterly and completely exhausted my first pregnancy, the second time around was 100 times […]

How far along: 30 weeks. Holy smokes, Batman. Can you believe we are only SIX WEEKS from this baby being full term?! How big is the baby: Your baby’s about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, […]

Another week down. Does anyone else feel like 2012 is absolutely flying by? I worried that this pregnancy would drag on and on and on, but truthfully? I feel like I’m blinking and it’s nearly over. Work and life in general have kept me so busy that I barely have time to register what week […]

We all know that disappointment is part of life. But explaining disappointment to a four year old is a bit different than understanding it as an adult. I’m not sure if it’s experiencing years worth of broken promises and empty words from people who weren’t supposed to let me down. Or if it’s from a […]

How far along: 29 weeks How big is the baby: Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. […]

As you can see by the sheer lack of photos throughout most of the week this week, it’s been another busy one around here. Saturday was the first Alabama football game of the season. We had a few friends over, enjoyed college football all day, and the little man and I made a cake. For […]
