Did you know that 80% of people give up on their goals by mid-February? That statistic popped up in my email the other day I was surprised, but maybe not as shocked as I should have been. We’re a world of dreamers, but not necessarily doers. We lack the hustle and drive we need […]
This week it’s been three years. Three years since we, as a family, took a leap of faith and moved two states away. We left the only home our kids ever knew. We left our family. We left our friends and our church home. We left everything we knew and loved and started over. […]
Somehow I’ve fallen out of the habit of asking my kids 20 Questions on their birthday. But I figure it’s never too late to pick it back up! (That also might mean I have a recap on Hollywood’s birthday here soon.) Photo Credit goes to my talented friend, Kaylee Ausmus. Oh, Miss Cocoa! It […]
Are the Halloween posts getting obnoxious yet? Hopefully not because I have ANOTHER fun look to show you! If you’ve been following along in my saga of WHAT THE HECK do we wear for Halloween(?!?), you’ll know that we are trying NOT to spend money on costume stuff this year. It’s SO HARD, y’all! […]

Did you know that today is DAY 1 of the last 90 days of 2018?!? Let that sink in for a moment. 2018 is coming to a close. I know that typically for me, just hearing those words strikes a panic in my core. The last 90 days of the year are filled with […]
This might be too much information for some of you. You may think I’m getting a little too personal. But this is my story to share, and my choice to share it. I share it because I’m terrified and I need prayer. I share it because it helps me to process my emotions. This […]
Our God is in the business of making miracles happen. I firmly believe that. So why do I keep putting limits on God? Let me explain… There are a couple areas in life where change feels like (and WOULD be) a straight-up miracle. And while I’ve been praying about these areas, I’ve been asking […]
This post is in collaboration with The Mustard Seed Marketplace. While I did receive product in exchange for this post, all opinions are solely my own.
