Maybe it feels like you are in a state of wonder these days….

Wondering if the decisions you make today are the best for your family in these uncertain months

Wondering how you will make it through all that is before you in this day, week, month or year

Wondering how to b...

Looking down recently so close to my baby girl's little face, I saw my reflection in her sweet baby eyes 

And I felt God's spirit say…

You see your reflection in her….you are a reflection of me

And then teary eyes came on me because in the midst of messes and mistakes I w...

Little hands have been helping me make bread as we've been home more these months.

It is messier with them helping and takes longer. Letting kids help in the kitchen is one way God has tried to build more patience into me over the years it feels like, and I'm a total wo...

Why does she calm so quickly when she is with you mama?

My kids often ask this when they give our baby girl back if she starts fussing with them or daddy holding her

I have told them there is something just natural to it....from the inside out, babies know their mamas 💕

Yep, the ones he likes better are from a gas station like Quality Dairy packed with jelly and sugar. I like...

I’ve been wanting to make homemade yogurt for a long time but held back for several reasons. 

I didn’t think I had enough time.  I didn’t think I had the right equipment.  I didn’t think it would turn out right because it would be too runny.  I didn’t know what incubati...

Our baby girl’s story starts before birth really, so I am going to share about while she was still in heaven first as Rena says.

Lenna means “lion’s strength” and Shayne means “God is gracious.” So there is no better name for our sweet baby girl because of what she mean...

So you've had your sweet little bundle! Or maybe you're still waiting?  The old saying is true...your babe is worth the wait, tough as the last days may feel! 

And as I'm snuggling my nearly 3 week old baby now while I write this post to pass on what I've love...
