We’ve had a really busy summer so far: moving into a new house, a super finger infection that had to be lanced, painting and decorating the new house (which while the end result is enjoyable, the work is not), a giant seizure that sent Jac to the hospital, a new medication for seizures that sent […]

MY KID IS THE SMARTEST…
My kid is the smartest…most talented…cannot fail…Will be the best at everything he does in life… IT STARTS EARLY I think we begin the comparison game early in life. I know everyone seems to think it’s only since the invention of social media that it has existed, but long before social media we had moms […]
PROCESSING A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE
PROCESSING A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE Processing a traumatic experience is not easy. I haven’t purposely tried to be vague or not share, but honestly I’ve been having a really hard time lately. BACKGROUND I shared on my personal Facebook page that, almost two weeks ago, my daughter Jac had a grand mal seizure. For some […]
FIRST HEALING BIRTH…HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MISERABLE AND OVERDUE This day, eight years ago, I was very pregnant with our second child. I was a week overdue, and the doctor mentioned scheduling a repeat c-section that upcoming Monday (it was a Saturday) if he hadn’t arrived by then. MY FIRST VBAC Each birth and child is special for different reasons. One […]
TIME TO CHANGE
SELF REFLECTION I was taking with my client the other day and she told me about a new nutrition plan she was starting. She’s been through the entire year of Precision Nutrition (with success), but she still has weight she would like to lose. (Don’t most of us?😉) It’s not extreme, but it will take […]
MY LOVE OF WILDLIFE
It’s no secret. I’m sure you’ve seen in my posts lately: I love wildlife. I love to observe nature; God’s beautiful creation. I don’t know that I’ve always appreciated it the way I do now, but the older I get, the more time I take to wonder at His marvelous creation. We have SO MANY […]
Happy Mother’s Day
In honor of Mother’s Day on Sunday, I thought it appropriate to write about moms. 😊 I mean, the name of the website should be a good indication of what you’ll find on my site, but I also want to share that you may have seen some different things than you were expecting when you […]
OUR CATERPILLAR FRIENDS
Please see my disclosure policy here as there are affiliate links. Happy reading! CONTAINERS OF EXCITEMENT If you’ve followed me on Facebook at all, you will see we’ve been growing caterpillars into butterflies for the last month or so. Right around the time we were preparing for the sale of our old house, my youngest […]
TRAIN UP A CHILD
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 PARENTS GUIDE THEIR CHILDREN Many people know this verse from Proverbs, and I think it’s an important one to note…especially for those of us with children. I know that some people think […]
SELF DEFENSE: BE PREPARED
SELF-DEFENSE I know I’ve blogged about this before, but it’s time again…SELF-DEFENSE! I don’t really think you can talk too much about this subject this day-and-age. Instead of being scared, be vigilant and prepared. I’ll never forget my first ever women’s self defense class. It was in June 2017, and the day I found out […]
