Throwback to when I could hold Rainy 🌧️ in ju

Throwback to when I could hold Rainy 🌧️ in just one hand! My, has she grown since then. In other news, it's finally starting to feel like fall here.. ie. I'm not sweating by 8am 😂 Now I'm on a mission to find a sunflower 🌻 field and apple orchard, STAT. If you know of any in our area, let me know!

#ad Nighttime is when I feel our skin has the best

#ad Nighttime is when I feel our skin has the best chance of regenerating and restoring itself. Every night after cleansing my face, I gently massage the @Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Night Cream with Hexinol over my face and neck. The rich moisturizer, powered by Hexinol® and Vitamin C, is clinically proven to help smooth the look of wrinkles, even skin tone, and visibly firm skin. Add to your next @Walmart online pickup or delivery order, your skin will thank you!

This weekend, we're going back to the town where J

This weekend, we're going back to the town where Josh and I met, lived as newlyweds, and had our babies. And we are so excited! VA friends - let's meet up!!

I don't always find it easy to talk about myself.

I don't always find it easy to talk about myself. I hope to not be too self important. But here are a few things about me that may make you feel as though we could be friends if I could pull you through this phone and we could hang out for a while:
• Josh and I got married at 21
• We had David when I was 22 and we were ether first of our "friend group" to have kids.
• I love to write and often find it hard to figure out how I feel about something unless I write it down or type it, I need time to process how I feel before I react.
• I always try to see both sides of a story
• I flip and and flop between mom guilt and my ambitions on an hourly basis.
• I wrote a newlywed/engaged couples' devotional
• Sometimes I'm socially awkward, but I love the idea if making new friends
• I don't stress easy, and am usually of the mind that "things will work out" which probably stresses out my more detail oriented friends 😂
• I have big ears that my hair helps me to hide 🤭👂
• I have a glass of 🍷 juuust about every night.
• I enjoy the feeling of pleasantly surprising people, but don't like when I feel lofty expectations.

Which are you: Pretending we still have another mo

Which are you: Pretending we still have another month of summer or bring on cardigans, boots, and pumpkins??
Personally, I love summer, but I also love the start of fall. It's always felt like more of a "new year" than New Years always felt. Also one of the reasons I love to watch You've got Mail: "It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms."

OMG look at this little MAN! Today he started KIND

OMG look at this little MAN! Today he started KINDERGARTEN and he was so excited. He'll be doing e-learning 4 days a week and attending in-person one day a week. He did not even seem nervous, just excited and when I asked him if he learned anyone's names he said no but he made a lot of friends 😂😂 I wish it was so easy for us grown ups.

Just curious - no judgements here - What's your co

Just curious - no judgements here - What's your comfort level with attending events, ie. Church, kids going back to school, gyms??
❤️ So not ready yet.
💛 I'm coming around to it. If we wear masks and wash our hands we'll be good!
💚 All systems go!

David starts school Monday and only attends in-person one day a week and I so wish he could do more! But they're hoping to transition to more in-person days as the year goes on. I just so badly want for him to make friends! Soon enough I guess, soon enough.

Since Reels came out I feel like it's been a centu

Since Reels came out I feel like it's been a century since posting a photo?? Anyway - today was AMAZING. It was quite simple actually. The fam and I decided to go on a run on a new trail and we got caught in the rain. We actually had a little trouble finding our way back bc the trail had so many loops so our walk-run took way longer than expected but we got a great workout in, David was able to get in a great ride on his new (ahem, FB marketplace) bike, Rainy 🌧️ got her energy out, and we all got SOAKED to the bone and it just felt amazing to be in that moment all together. Totally not planned, but so glad today happened 🥰

What got you up this morning? For me, it was a dea

What got you up this morning? For me, it was a deadline. Picture: 3rd (4th?) day hair, a baggy t-shirt and shorts, standing at the computer typing away and stopping only for quick sips of coffee and to look at the kids' latest Lego creations.

I remember a time back in college, Josh and I were camp counselors together at a Christian summer camp. This introvert had no idea what she was getting into 🤪😭🤣 As exhausting as that time was, that was probably one of the times in my life when I felt the MOST close and in sync with God. Each morning, I read my Bible and prayed for strength for the day and for the hearts of my campers. Before bed, I decompressed and gave the day to God again. Like I said, it was exhausting, but fulfilling and peaceful at the same time.

I'll be the first to tell you that the days here are not always like that. The days can be stressful, tiresome, and sometimes even plain depressing. It can be hard to think that Jesus understands what it's like to feel depleted. But then, as I've been trying to be more consistent about starting my mornings in prayer and in the Word, I read this in Hebrews 4:

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time."
(Hebrews 4:15‭-‬16 HCSB)

Jesus was sent to Earth to not only understand, but overcome our weaknesses. And he offers joy and rest for us in him.

Start your morning BOLDLY drawing from that mercy and grace, I promise it will change the rest of your day ♥️

Pool noodles and some sunshine before bedtime toni

Pool noodles and some sunshine before bedtime tonight. Feels good to fit in little fun things when we can for the kids. A little goes a long way for them ♥️
