Tie A String
I'm not gonna lie- I enjoy a quiet car ride. Call me lame if you want, but driving in silence is my jam. Unfortunately, it's no one else's jam in my family so it's on the "things I'll have when my house is empty and I'm lonely" list. I was driving who knows where...
There Will Be A Day
Today has been one of THOSE mama days. The kind that starts with screaming, is filled with screaming, and ends with- you guessed it- more screaming. My toddler is getting 4 teeth in right now and screaming is her go to. She follows me around all day moaning,...
6 Ways To Stop A Meltdown
If you read my previous post on meltdowns as indicators, this is more of the tangible, takeaway side of the same topic. Working through big emotions with kids during their meltdowns is tough, so I wanted to share a few of our tried and true methods of bringing our...
Offer Still Waters
Lately meltdowns have been taking over my life. And I'm not talking about ME melting down- (Just kidding. I totally melt down like every day.) I have a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old and they are both sympathy criers. BOTH. SYMPATHY. CRIERS. I love them, I do. I...
The List + Free Printable!
My husband, Nathan, and I are fundamentally different people. Like in every way. We agree on the big things: Jesus, how to parent, and... well actually that might be all. And the rest/ 99.9% of our decisions? Polar opposites. I'm told by so many people that this...

Heart | Hands, Heart & Home Series Part 2
I know that this is the second part of this series, but it's the last one I'm writing. The third part, Home, came together effortlessly. Like the post basically wrote itself. The first installment, Hands, was a little harder for me to squeak out- I feel like I...
Home | Hands, Heart, Home Series Part 3
If you and I were getting coffee today, I'd probably ask if we could drink it on my couch while my littlest babe sleeps. That's the time I can most focus (on anything, really) and the time I simultaneously do a trillion things. But if you were coming over, I'd have...
7 Ways to Be a Light to a New Mama
This is such a special post to me because it is written by my dear friend, Katie. Katie and I have been friends since our awkward middle school days and here is my oh-so-awkward proof: Man. I remember thinking that blue polo shirt was "super nice"....
32 Things
It's my birthday today- the big 32. Just kidding, is 32 even that big? I don't know. I have mixed emotions about my birthday. Not because I'm getting older, just because I never quite know how to feel. The truth is, I honestly hate being the center of attention....
