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.

Okay. So I’m a little behind on my posting (say 6+ months behind). And I’ve been completely MIA for a while. But for some reason, fitting blogging into my schedule isn’t as easy now that I have two kiddos, a husband, a business to run, and I’ve decided to go back to school part time. My […]

Halloween came and went this year in a big blur. This was the first year we had the little bitty with us to Trick or Treat and the first year that Noah was genuinely aware that Halloween meant free candy. The weather held off and remained relatively enjoyable for us to go out and enjoy […]

Yesterday was one of “those” days. You know which ones I’m talking about. I don’t know if it’s something with the moon (ever notice how the moon gets the blame when our kids are driving us nuts?) or what. But it wasn’t a good day. There were spankings. Time outs. Whining. Fussing. Crying. Clingy-ness. Spilled […]

I’ve started to notice that my biggest baby, really isn’t a baby anymore. He doesn’t look like a baby. He doesn’t talk like a baby. He doesn’t play like a baby. We’ve bypassed and moved beyond the terms of “toddler” and “preschooler.” Noah’s just a kid. A full-fledged little boy with barrels of energy and […]

I have sucked it up with keeping things around here updated on Jonah’s month to month progression. Between our vacation and work and life in general, blogging just slips my mind. The only quiet time I have is late in the evenings and usually I’m too tired to sit down and fool with writing a […]

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. Despite the rain and somewhat gloomy weather, we tried to spend the day out and about, enjoying slightly warmer temperatures and a very rare day off for my husband. The boys enjoyed the little bit of sunshine and I managed to snag a photo of […]

What’s it been? Almost two months since I wrote a post? Time goes quick, doesn’t it? Whole lotta things happened in two months. Jonah turned 6 months old. Then 7 months a few days ago. We went on vacation to Alabama. Our first trip off of this island in 2.5 years. Noah finished his first […]

I’ve never been a stick-thin model type person. I think the smallest I ever was was a size three. And that was waaaaay back in Junior High when I was finally able to fit my ridiculously short legs and oversized rear into a pair of jeans from the Junior’s Department. Even those didn’t last long. […]
