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 haven’t done one of these posts in a while (the whole tagging someone and answering questions thing, that is). But, since I seem to be lacking in creativity lately and I’m pretty sure my readers are bored to tears, I thought I’d give this a go. Who doesn’t love a good interview now and […]

I feel like everything on my blog lately is the same: confessions about my lack of time to do much of anything… expressions of how utterly exhausted I am most days… excitement for all of the things that I want to do… and happiness over the design waiting list that continues to grow. Let me emphasize […]

I have a million things that I could talk about today. I could talk about the tears I shed when someone I consider to be a dear friend, though we’ve never met in person, messaged me on Twitter to let me know that she was expecting. She wanted to tell me, personally, before announcing it […]

I’m a dreamer by nature. I was born that way, I guess. Even when I was little, I was constantly envisioning myself living somewhere else…somewhere far away. Exploring the world, experiencing life and all that it had to offer. Traveling from place to place. Learning new languages, eating exotic foods, exposing myself to culture and […]

You see the world in black and white. Good and bad. Hot and Cold. Bed time and Play time. Mommy and Daddy. There’s no complications. No middle ground. It’s either or. I admire your innocence. Your sense of certainty about the life you live. There’s no confusion. No doubt. No hesitation. Just simplicity. A little […]

Being a business owner scares me. Not because of money. Or liability. Or fear of messing up someones blog or website. Those things could be bad; cataclysmic even to my business or my reputation. Those things worry me, but they aren’t the things that I dwell on. Those things that leave me antsy here […]

I never questioned what I would do with my life when I had kids. It was always just a given that I would become a stay-at-home-mom. My mom was always around growing up. She went to class parties, did the PTA thing, softball games, you name it. She was always a presence in my life […]

One night recently, the family was sitting around the table. We were having some Bible study time. Now that the girls are a bit older and we feel they can really hash out some principles, we’re trying to be faithful in that area. Honestly, it’s a practice we should have started long ago but we […]

That’s where I am now. In a fog. Tired. Worn out. Cold. The weather, I think, is finally getting to me here on the island. The cold. The snow. The rain. I’m in need of a beach and some sunshine. Some color and humidity. Something other than endless roads of grey’s and neutrals. I’m not […]
