What excites me about motherhood? Certainly not the sleepless nights. Certainly not the toy-dumping rampages. Certainly not the urgent morning baths or the tantrums or the sink full of dirty dishes.

Filed Under: inspiration

If you’re having a hard time with comparison ~ constantly looking to the left and to the right and then measuring what you see against your beautiful self, you’re doing it all wrong. Look within and see YOUR gifts and beauty and talents. Go back to your world and make it small again. When we… [Read More]

Filed Under: Faith, family, inspiration

What is this life if we don’t take what we’ve learned, or hope to learn, and move forward with confidence and peace? I don’t want to just settle. I don’t want to live in unachievable hope. I don’t want to live in the what-ifs or the if-onlys or the maybe-one-days. I want to get “it”…. [Read More]
