My little man just turned 16 months. Ahh!! I can’t believe he’s almost 1 1/2!! It feels like yesterday that he was a squishy newborn, and now he’s running all over the place and just enjoying life. A lot of him enjoying life has to do with his toys! He has a few that are…
Living in a small space can be hard, especially when you have a toddler. When one small area is dirty or messy, it feels like the rest of the house is messy. So because of this, I knew I needed to change something to help contain the chaos. The easiest way for me to do…
I’ve been a “mama” for a whole year now… WHAT!? I can’t believe it! And yet it seems so normal. It’s a strange sensation, let me tell yah- dreaming of motherhood for so long, and now that I’m a year in it just seems like what I’ve always been doing. I can’t really remember what…
Happy Friday! I know so very many of you are excited for your weekends, and with this gorgeous weather here in North Georgia, I don’t blame you! Today is one of the most beautiful days we’ve had all year, with 75 degrees as our current temperature and breezy, gusty winds that seem to dance festively with…
2020 seems to be the year to remember. So many things have happened in these long 7 months that it’d take a whole blog post to rehash it all. But this post is not for that. Instead, I want to give some thoughts on my mom anxiety that I hope will help you if you’re…
With spring in full bloom and summer just around the corner, I thought what better way to enjoy the weather than with my strawberry banana lactation smoothie recipe! This smoothie is super easy to make with just 5 simple ingredients! Let me first say that I have been struggling with milk production, and I have…
Pregnancy is weird. I mean, really! I’ve always dreamed of being pregnant, feeling the baby move, having the “glow”, and honestly all of that is amazing, but there’s a whole lot more that women either forget or don’t share because it’s just strange. I had a lot of symptoms in my first trimester that I…
Hello all! I’ve done a LOT of reading since finding out I was pregnant, and I am still surprised at the overwhelming amount of information out there. One thing I constantly looked at, even before I started having consistent symptoms, was what to expect from my body each trimester. So I’ve thought long and hard…
Good Christmas Eve all! I just wanted to share an experience my husband and I had this week that has encouraged us and hopefully will encourage you. We are humbly and gratefully expecting our first child, a bouncy baby boy due in February and were at my doctor’s appointment Wednesday for my first bi-weekly check…
Wow! My life has been a nonstop vacation for the past two weeks. Last week my husband Nicolas and I went to a large church convention that lasted Monday night through Friday morning. This week it’s his family reunion in Austin, Texas by the San Marcos River. And amazingly enough, these two weeks have provided…
Ok- so I am somewhat of a smoothie connoisseur in the sense that I love looking at the recipes, I love trying different recipes, I love buying the ingredients and seeing them form a yummy treat and I love experimenting with ingredients from scratch. And that’s what I did this rainy morning- experimented. Now, keep…
Luke 9:23.. “ And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” How many times have I read this scripture, seen it splashed on farmhouse décor, coffee mugs, and shirts, and never really stopped to think about it. …
