HI FRIENDS! Do you have snow where you live? (Or maybe the right question is, could it snow where you live?) We had a few inches of fresh snowfall recently and my kids are going bananas over it. The field behind our home is white in color, no longer golden, though the gold is sure… [Read More]
A List of Inspiration
The Books Read in 2022
It brings me a lot of joy to put this post together year after year. Initially, I couldn’t think of many books I read for hobby in 2022 (so typical right now, snort), but then I remembered I shared many of them on social media (which is totally hilarious given I left that “world” in… [Read More]
A Rewind of Our Day
The digital clock has flipped over to 10:02 pm. Every small person has been tucked into bed with thirteen kisses and a carnival variety of bedtime songs sung by mom herself. As I walk across the floor, gathering a few things to accompany me for the evening, I hear my feet scuff the hardwood. Earlier… [Read More]
It’s time for me to leave social media
It’s time for me to leave social media. (I will still write here on my blog; more on that below.) You see, this leave has been picking up momentum since 2013 when a plump baby boy was placed on my chest after an emergency c-section delivery. I was 10 days past my due date, and… [Read More]

With the anticipation of church later that morning I was thankful I had showered last night…. [Read More]
In Living Color
Do you ever take a moment and pause what you’re doing, look around, and thank your Father for the day? So many times I find myself living with my head down, busy with making a meal or looking for a child. Of course, I’m always asking, “Has anyone seen Bauer? Where is the dog?” –… [Read More]
Our Latest Family Adventure!
Hello, blog reader friends. It’s been a while since I’ve written on here, yeah? I’ve often thought of this space in the last few months, many times truly hoping for a chance to sit down and write a little bit. Other times, I’ve had to remind myself the “lack” of time spent here is not… [Read More]
What GRADUATE SCHOOL is like as a mother of four young children
I’m nearing the end of my fourth class at Moody Theological Seminary. If you’re wondering what graduate school is like as a mother of four children, let me start with this: everything that was “in place” on day 1 of class is no longer in place for day 210 of class. (She roars with laughter.)… [Read More]
