Happy Friday, y’all! Even more than that, it’s Good Friday. As strange as it sounds, I love this day that demands our attention to the death of Christ in order to understand the significance of Easter Sunday. Jesus died on that cross for us, but three days later, He rose from the grave and gaveContinue reading “Friday Favorites: All About March”

If we are gonna be honest here, mommin’ ain’t easy. There are tears and sweat all kinds of involved. Let’s be real, all the body fluids are involved. But even when it’s hard, even when I’m exhausted, even when I feel like I’ve gone way past the crazy mark… it’s worth it. Because of this.Continue reading “All About Caleb: The Threenager Year”

A festive weekend to celebrate the Christmas season!

Just call me nosy, but I love reading other bloggers’ day in the life posts.

It’s basically just a play byContinue reading “A Christmas Day in the Life”

Since I’ve been here last, we have done MANY things. I think I need to accept that I should quit saying ‘it’s aContinue reading “A Road Trip & Reunion: Oh My!”

Some big things have been happening around here. Our little baby headed to preschool last week. When I went back to work a year and a half ago, the most amazing person watched Caleb for us which was such an answer to prayer. But now the little guy is finally old enough for our church’sContinue reading “All About Caleb: Time for Preschool! “

Happy Friday y’all! It’s been a busy week starting to get back in the routine of the new school year to come. I have LOVED seeing all of the back to school pics of all the kiddos & students on their first days of school. How is it already that time?! But let’s be honestContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Weekend Recaps”

I have always been so thankful for the town that I grew up in because of its diversity (and it’s great football team but that’s not the point of this post). I was never aware of the exact percentages of each ethnicity represented, but I know that it was pretty diverse between White, Black, Hispanic,Continue reading “I Will Not Be Silent”

Welcome back for round two! If you missed the first part about our trip in Houston, you can check that out here. Or you can ignore that altogether and just read all about the part of our trip in Dallas/Fort Worth. But first let me just say that last year when we did this trip, I triedContinue reading “The Annual July Texas Trip Extravaganza: The DFW Edition”
