At a girls night recently we started talking about panties. I’m not sure how it happened or who brought it up, but none the less we were discussing each others panties and why they wore what th...
We are very laid back about hair around here. For the love I only fix mine about 2x a week, because seriously who has time to fix their hair every day?!? Deacon has beautiful hair that we̵...
Building our kids up. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. (Ephesians 4:29) Isn...
I’m out of town for a few days enjoying life in Arizona with my mom, grandma and Story! While I’m gone I’ve asked some friends to share with you! I love all these ladies and am hono...
I have a new favorite breakfast and I’m actually mad when we are out of eggs, because I’m not sure what to do for breakfast. This breakfast makes me so happy. What we have here are...
Nine months ago I made a statement that I’m absolutely embarrassed to admit today. I actually said these words that were in my heart and although I wished I had never said them out loud, I̵...
***UPDATED with winners names below*** What do I hold on to the most in my life in complete and utter fear of giving it over to God? What do you hold on to? Jennie Allen recently released a bo...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! The photo above was taken at my 30th SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY that Aaron threw for me. One of the most epic and memorable nights of my life. He put SO MUCH work int...
This month I am challenging myself to focus on being an encourager to my kids. I feel that as moms we can either be our kids biggest fans or we can squash them daily, not intentionally, but just in t...
Back in the fall I was emailed by the publisher of a magazine and asked if I would like to write an article for them. I nearly peed on myself as I read it because I was so honored and excited!...
Recently Aaron and I spent a few days at a resort that is about 30 miles outside of Austin. It was truly the best of both worlds for us. We were in the “woods,” but really close to our ho...
APRIL “year of motherhood” recap … FAMILY NIGHTS I feel like my husband, Aaron, and I spend a good amount of quality family time with our kids, but for some reason I felt as ...
Today’s guest post is from my friend, Kelly Stewart, who lives in Tennessee with her husband, Jason, and their four kids. She is a great FAMILY NIGHT planner, so I wanted you to hear from a mom...
Here are two new side dishes I whipped up this weekend, that were great the first time and even better for leftovers after they are good and cold. Oh how I love cold couscous and cold pasta salad. Al...
I have read some great books on adoption and have many more bookmarked to read that I thought I’d share some with you. About two years ago I posted some adoption books that had been recommended...
I find it very ironic that I’m sitting here reading a blog on organization and my desk looks like this: Maybe I should quit reading how to organize and just do it. There’s a though...
The camping night snuck up on me big time. It was one of those things where you know it’s coming and you know you need to plan, but other things come up and by the time you know it, it&#...
The other day I had one hour to spare in my day. I could either take a nap, or meet my friend at her pool. As much as I love the pool, this was a hard decision. I mean how can you pass up an hour nap...
One of my worst fears in life is something happening to one of my kids, or my husband. I’m working through these fears more this year than I think I ever have, and asking God to show me that HE...
Tonight as I tucked Amos into bed I praised him over and over again for having such a good day! The thing that we are noticing around here is that Amos knows when he gets a bad attitude, gets pouty,...
I did it. A themed family night. And I survived! We went with the luau theme because quite frankly someone had already done the work for me and honestly it was super easy! I got the idea fr...
Recently I went away for about 28 hours and spent time praying, reading the bible, reading magazines, resting my body, resting my brain and doing just about nothing. It was AH-MAZING. So wonderful ...
