Last weekend, we took the kids to Texas Tulips in Pilot Point. Kennedy was in bloom H E A V E N! Hads raced around zipping through the tulips and trying to play hide-n-seek. If you're looking for a fun family Spring adventure, this is a must![...]
Kennedy's big 5th birthday gift was 2 days at Disney World's Magic Kingdom! Ryan had a work trip in Orlando, and we thought it would be the perfect time for Kennedy and me to fly out at the end of it to visit the most magical place on earth. The bummer is that Kennedy wasn't feeling good for most of it, but we charged through Magic K[...]
I remember when my Dad turned 40 and my mom threw him an Over The Hill party. All the adults sprayed their hair grey or wore wigs, stuffed their clothes with padding to show they let go of their younger bodies, and dressed in mismatched, out of style clothes. Even though it was a joke, as I grew up, this backed up the image I had of[...]
My sweet girl is 5 today! I found out I was pregnant with her a few months after my mom passed away and my brother's diagnosis with cancer & arm amputation, so it was a soothing balm to my raw heart. A gift from God that I am forever thankful for. She's blossoming into a little girl, and it is bittersweet - especially as I spent the[...]
One of the highlights of our 2021 year was going to Mexico! In August, Ryan and I flew out for our first couple getaway in a long, looooong time. His parents graciously kept our two little ones, and we headed to The Beloved Hotel in Playa Mujeres. We first heard about this place from two friends who said it was a relaxing, couples-only b[...]
I think it's hard to whittle down a person's legacy to one short blog post. Even a book. How do you summarize a person's life? Their story? Sufferings, journey, joys. You can't. My mom was unique - a free spirit, so very kind, and left a lasting impression of God's love on people. I could find her in any place by her laugh - it was lo[...]
I thought it'd be fun to share some things I'm into right now! I love hearing / seeing other people's interests, and I'm always getting new ones from my friends and fam. Also, I found a building I'm obsessed with, sooo if I ever open a boutique, I know the place I want! I showed it to Ryan today. It may need a little work, but it wou[...]
I'm not sure that anyone's 2020 went as planned; ours didn't. We were swept into the frenzy of COVID as we bounced between two locations for a year, all the while trying to figure out the next steps for our family. In early 2021, after much praying, wrestling, and seeking counsel, Ryan and I were unified that the Lord was leading us[...]
I've followed Rachel Joy's journey with Sparrow Collective for a few years, so when my friend, Kristen, who also works for Sparrow, told me about their Identity Course, I had to sign up! The course is a workshop to help you discover your God-given identity, giftings and purpose, and it came at the perfect time as lately I've really been[...]
