I love reflection, but for some reason I have found myself putting off creating space to reflect + look ahead. And I am not exactly sure why. But I am here now, just a few days into 2023 and I have some things that have been floating around in my head that I would like…… Continue reading 2022 Reflection + Finding Greater Joy in 2023

Summer 2022 Reflection
Summer 2022 was a good one. It was full of a lot of slow, simple days. As I wrote last year, I was not ready for summer to end. I wanted more summer. For some reason, this year I feel ready for fall. Not that summer was bad, it definitely wasn’t. I think I’m just…… Continue reading Summer 2022 Reflection
Easter 2022 Reflection
Happy Easter! If you are new around here, two things you should know about me: I love Easter + I love a good reflection. Hence, reflecting on Easter just feels like a must. I think last Easter, I was too pregnant to fully reflect. I did reflect on Easter 2020 here. Re-reading this reflection, I…… Continue reading Easter 2022 Reflection
These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
One of the reasons I love writing, both on this blog and in my journal, is because it helps me to remember the small, beautiful moments of this particularly more challenging season of raising two little boys. Last week, I was listening to Emily P. Freeman’s podcast, The Next Right Thing. Actually, I was listening…… Continue reading These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
2021 Reflection + Staying Present in 2022
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of the year. In the last couple days before the new year, I always love taking some time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the new one. I have been doing these yearly reflections for 3 years now. It really…… Continue reading 2021 Reflection + Staying Present in 2022
Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
I wanted to take a little space on here to reflect on the first 6 months with sweet Thatcher. It is amazing that 3 years ago I wrote a post reflecting on the first 6 months of motherhood. The first 6 months with Hudson were entirely different compared to our first months with Thatcher. As…… Continue reading Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
2021 Summer Reflection
Somehow this summer went by in the blink of an eye. In a lot of ways I was expecting a slow, long summer since we didn’t have much going on, but it still seemed to fly by nonetheless. A year ago, I reflected on how hard, yet beautiful last summer was. You can read more…… Continue reading 2021 Summer Reflection
2020 Reflection
In ways, it feels like I was just sitting down a year ago typing up my 2019 reflection. I just read it back and was deeply encouraged by it. My words a year ago reminded me of my own growth and ultimately showed me the faithfulness of the Lord. Even if you don’t click the…… Continue reading 2020 Reflection
Summer 2020 Reflections: Finding a Place of Peace, Purpose, and Play
We are holding onto these final days of summer for as long as we can. The summer of 2020 has been strange to say the least. It was not the summer we expected or even the summer we hoped for, yet still, somehow, it was the one we needed. It was simple. It was full…… Continue reading Summer 2020 Reflections: Finding a Place of Peace, Purpose, and Play
Embracing Process Over Outcome
Last Monday, Hudson and I attempted to make homemade noodles. Like a lot of things in my life, I had a picture of what the outcome would look like. In my head, it looked almost identical to the perfect noodles pictured in Joanna Gaines’ cookbook. Let’s just say they looked nothing like the picture. While…… Continue reading Embracing Process Over Outcome
