I am now and forever will be one who speaks up for those like me who struggle to grow their families. While growing closer to God and being blessed with our beautiful little girl has certainly healed many wounds, there will always be a part of me that is broken and hurting because of this …
Geekin’ Out: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve shared anything I’ve been “in love with” and even longer since I shared any book reviews… So I’ve decided it’s time to start up a new blogging segment called Geekin’ Out where I get to share something I’m kind of obsessed with at the moment. It feels pretty …
Daily Bible Reading
Over the past several years, one of my new year’s goals had been to read my bible more. I would always do well with this for a period of time and then life would happen and I’d get busy and my bible studies would peeter off. This was partly because I didn’t want to just …
Curly Hair Care
If you’ve seen me, you’ve probably noticed that I have crazy curly hair. I am not one to spend a bunch of time styling myself, let alone trying to tame my mane! But over the years I’ve learned a few tricks on how to take better care of my hair to make sure it stays …
Paintings for Sale
I may have mentioned previously that I was working on some painting to sell. I started painting for fun a couple years ago when I needed a new creative outlet. Something I didn’t feel constrained by rules because I didn’t know them. And so painting became one of the first steps towards creative freedom. (You …
Baby Journey: An Important Truth
You know, it didn’t dawn on me until I posted my Infertility and the Holidays blog post just before Christmas. But I’m realizing there is something I probably need to say… ~ I will always and forever support those struggling with infertility ~ I don’t know… maybe it doesn’t need to be said. But it …
Why I Write…
When I started writing here over 7 years and 900 posts ago, I mainly used this space to post about my business and share my photographs. Because that’s what you’re “supposed to do” when you’re a photographer. You get a website and you start blogging. I was so new and fresh to this world of …
Another Year…
Well I woke up today another year older… I’m not one who looks forward to or really dreads birthdays. I’ve never placed much stock in them. Partly because I hate being the center of attention… I’d much rather have a small casual get together with a few people than some big overwhelming hooha any day! …
Baby Journey: Touching Surprises & Hope
It’s been a few months ago now, I got a letter in the mail from my Grandma. My Grandma is a sweet lady and sends cards to all her grand-kids for birthdays and anniversaries. (How she keeps track of it all amazes me!) This particular card didn’t land on a birthday, anniversary or holiday, so …
Pieces of Me: Essential Oils
Okay – so the video post I was going to share today is taking way too long uploading to YouTube so I’m going to postpone it to another day. Instead I thought I’d go ahead and share another Pieces of Me post. This one is about Essential Oils. Okay so I know that essential oil …
