Encouraging women to pursue peace in motherhood while following God fearlessly
I became a Homemaker a little over 4 years ago. I was working full-time as a Military Student Advisor at an online University when I became pregnant with my son. When that precious baby of mine was born, my husband and I decided I would be the full-time caretaker of our son. In the beginning, [...]
My son is fourteen. Wait, no, he’s four. He thinks he’s a teenager already, but in reality, he’s still my sweet little preschooler. My son has always been passionate; passionate about the answer “No”, and passionate about having his way. Which, if I think about it, these things may be a wonderful characteristic to have [...]
I used to consider myself an extrovert. I loved being in large groups, I loved talking to just about everyone I could, and I enjoyed making new connections. Being shy wasn’t really who I was, and I found myself confident in almost any setting. And then my mid-20’s happened, and I went through somewhat of [...]
I am beyond excited to talk about this today. I have loved reading since I was little. I remember when I would go to the library as a kid, I would sit with the book and flip through the pages inhaling the crisp scent of the pages (I am aware that’s a little weird, but [...]
Raise your hand if you try to fill every passing second of the day with something to do. Or how about in those quiet moments throughout our busy day, we look to social media to pass the time? I’m guilty to both of the above. I feel like since I became a stay-at-home mom, I’ve [...]
This week has hit me right in the gut. Not in a devastating way; but in a way that has left me utterly confused. Since I was in 5th grade I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home-mom. Yes, 5th grade. I’m living out my dream now, but from time to time, I find myself [...]
“Mom!! Is it Christmas Day yet?!” I woke up to my three-year old shouting this the other morning. He had a wide grin across his face, hands cupped tightly together around his jaw, and a beam in his eyes that only Christmas cheer can bring. I smiled softly and explained, “No honey, not yet. Soon.”, [...]
As Thanksgiving approaches, I sat down to jot down what I am thankful for. This year there are many, many things I can say I’ve been blessed with. My family is healthy, God has been faithful to meet our needs, and I still love what I’m doing. But while I was pondering over the things [...]
When I was a little girl, I had two dreams; one of them was to be a singer and entertainer. I could envision myself with a pink sparkly microphone and a big stage where I had back up singers and dancers behind me. I saw the crowd shouting my name and hands waving in the [...]
I started meditating a few months ago. My mind tends to race, so I needed to learn to slow it down, act less re-actively, and find joy in the present. I use the “Calm” app and every day it has the “Daily Calm”, where you can meditate for ten minutes. You sit, breathe, and listen [...]
I struggle with the concept of grace. Receiving grace from others is difficult, but even more difficult is receiving grace from myself. Do you struggle with this? I am currently nine months pregnant and during this entire pregnancy, I have had to give myself a ton of grace, and I’ve had to allow myself to [...]
I just love Fourth of July. I love barbecuing outside, decorating everything in festive colors, and watching the sparkling fireworks in the dark of the night. I also love that it made me think of something other than just the freedom America received in 1776. It made me think of the freedom that we as [...]
