These are my absolute favorite Mommy & home items.
So there is no sugar coating what today’s blog is about. It’s right there, smack dab in the title! Conversations about infertility aren’t the kind of thing you can really ease into or dance around. And as hesitant as I am to open up about it, I believe there are so many other women and couples struggling in this area that I shouldn’t shy away from talking about it just because it’s uncomfortable. And I am not uncomfortable out of embarrassment or shame…
Read MoreThe end of 2019 was very overwhelming for me. I had a very busy year with work. I think I did about 6 or 7 trips back forth to Chicago for the year, 11 wedding, countless photo sessions, and that’s just with work. We also bought a house, got 2 dogs, made plans to expand our family, went to San Antonio twice to see family and were gone for both Thanksgivings and Christmas. All of this with Ken (my hubby) preparing for a 6 month deployment scheduled to leave in 2 weeks ago in January. I felt like my head was spinning. I had so much to do and plan for and absolutely no focus or drive to…
Read More‘Ok God what you up there doing? You haven’t said yes or no? You aren’t speaking to me about what you want from me while I wait? You are making me watch as other people get the exact thing I’m praying to you about? This is to much God. The weight of it is crushing me. Why are you letting me suffer and not doing anything? Is my mic not on? 🎙What am I supposed to be doing right now? I am feel completely defeated. How do you expect me to hold on to my faith?’
Read MoreHappy tax season guys! Since this is the time of year when finances are at the forefront of our minds, I thought this would be a good time to share some super good news. As of this past December, my husband and I are officially CREDIT CARD DEBT FREE! Our ultimate goal is to be completely debt free but seeing as though we have only been married for a year and a half now we are really excited to have accomplished this one huge one step towards our ultimate goal…
Read MoreOne of my favorite things on facebook is the 'On This Day' feature. I love logging in and seeing what I was doing, thinking, or snapping 📸 on this very day last year, 2 years ago, and maybe even 6 or 7 years ago. When I looked at this feature today I was excited because I realized that today is a really special day. On this day, 2 years ago, I boarded a flight to Dallas meet my Husband, Ken, for the first time. I haven't really talked much about how we met or our journey to marriage so I want to take today to start sharing our love story...
Read MoreHappy New Year loves! Can you guys believe it is 2018 already? 🗓 Am I the only one who feels like this past year flew by? ⏳ I, like everyone else on the planet, use the new year as a clean slate and always make new years resolutions. And like most I never quite hit the mark lol. But there is one resolution I started 2 years ago that works for me. It might sound kind of weird but...
Read MoreFirst I want to start this letter by simply saying thank you. And not thank you for the things I normally thank you for, like food, shelter, safety and my family. While I am very grateful for those things today I want to specifically thank you for a promise you gave me 3 years ago, a door you opened almost 2 years ago, a question you prompted 5 months ago, and a covenant you fulfilled 31 days ago. Thank you for my Husband...
Read MoreOne thing I see a lot being a young millennial Christian, is a misconception of what Christian life is really like. Many people who believe in Christ but do not live for him (I wrote a blog about this if you don't understand the difference) seem to think that living for Christ is a life filled with church, rules and very little fun. To be honest, if that's what Christianity was really like I don't blame them. Who wants to sign up for a life of boredom and bondage? Not I! ...
Read MoreIf you watched My Testimony video last month you heard the story of my life (at least a big chunk of it) and my struggles. I always knew that, even in the midst of my storm, God was preparing me to help other people get through what I was going through. I was just unsure of how God...
Read MoreOne area of my life that I have always struggled giving to God, is my finances. I, like most people, was perfectly fine with praying, reading my bible, going to church and even helping people. But I wanted God to let me decide how I would handle my finances. See I grew up...
