I’m Fine, Thanks

Sadie Ann was born November 13th, 2021 at 3:40pm. She was absolutely perfect. She had her big sister’s nose, the most perfect hands and feet, weighed 8.3oz and was 8.75in long. She was small and oh so very beautiful. Sadie Ann, I dreamed about you for weeks. I knew somehow that you were a girl… Continue reading Sadie Ann

I'm not "mom." The idea of being "mom" terrifies me. It scares me so much that I never even wanted to be a mom. The idea that I must have it all together, that I must be the best, the thought that I literally hold another person's life in my hands is TERRIFYING. Sure, I… Continue reading I’m not Mom

To Lucy Today: Pregnancy Week 26 Day 2 Friday marks the start of the third trimester. For twenty-six weeks and two days, I have been freaked out, worried, stressed, literally sick and tired, hot, sweaty, and hungry. Before January of this year, I was not the kind to ever say I wanted to be a… Continue reading Even Still

Last weekend I posted on Facebook, as do many other people. However, I deleted the post for several reasons. Now I've decided I want to explain myself. This was the post: Children's ministry is not daycare. Children's ministry matters. Attention to the Church: children's ministry is just as important as adult ministries. (And by "the… Continue reading Please, don’t forget

I love Christmas time. LOVE IT! Everyone is happy. Lights and decorations are everywhere. Music plays wherever you go. It's just a magical time of year. This time of year can also be depressing. I get really caught up in the things I didn't accomplish throughout the year. I didn't lose the weight I wanted… Continue reading Grateful, Thankful, and Stressed

I love to make people happy, make them smile, make them belly laugh. It makes me happy when others are happy. I also think I'm pretty funny. So, I've got that going for me! I really care about how others feel, their emotions, what they are going through, and how God is working in their… Continue reading I Really Don’t Care

Sometimes, a lot of the time, all I want to do is take a nap. Going to bed early is my favorite thing! I get called "Grandma" often because everyone knows I do not stay up late. Is sleeping a hobby? Because I think it is my hobby. I stress a lot. I worry a… Continue reading I Need A Nap

I've been kinda quiet the past few weeks but I'm not sorry. I've been stressed out and super anxious so I needed a little space. And you know what? I think that's totally fine. Sometimes we just need space and a little time. So, I started another blog post about a week ago, but I… Continue reading Just Everyday Stress

This post is going to be a little different than my others. Things are about to get very real and I'm going to be very honest and open with y'all. Here we go. No body really wants to talk about it. A lot of people are afraid of others' opinions. I have to admit, this… Continue reading Let’s Talk About It

One of my first memories of fighting with perfection is from when I was in middle school. My social studies teacher asked us to draw a picture of the USA. We had to outline all of the states and label them. I worked on that picture for days. Every state was outlined and labeled, even… Continue reading Picture Perfect
