Hi!

Thanks for stopping by! My hope is that this blog brings encouragement and support to other mamas out there. Life with littles is nonstop..there are so many “things” constantly flooding our mama brains. We need to remind ourselves that we are not alone and give ourselves grace. Lots of grace + coffee + wine!

“I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me” Phillipians 4:13

Making more of these nights a priority ❤️ Time with them is what matters most #mypeople #noplaceidratherbe
I have always loved this verse as it’s helped give me peace during painful and challenging days. I thought about it after hearing the heartbreaking news yesterday. There really are no words and nothing anyone can do to fill that emptiness. I can’t stop thinking about Kobe’s wife, Vanessa. Life is beautiful but also so unbelievably hard. I’m thankful for this reminder today, that when the unexplainable happens the creator of life is in it with us and can save us from it. Saying prayers for the Bryant family, the other families that lost loved ones and anyone else that is hurting today 🙏🏼 Let’s not take a minute of this Monday for granted. #verseoftheweek #sendingprayers #kobebryant #giannabryant
I was finishing up some emails today when her sweet little voice said “mama will you please play with me?” I looked up to this right here & then put my phone away for the rest of the night because how could I not give this sweet princess mama all of my attention 🤗 . Regardless of what we are doing on our phones all they see is that it’s something more important than them. I took this picture because she is the sweetest but more so as a reminder to myself that technology can easily make me miss these moments and I can never get them back... #beherenow #lala
These two 😍They both wear their hearts on their sleeves...they love BIG, hurt BIG, laugh BIG, and fight BIG. When they are good it’s GOOD but when they are bad it’s BAD for us all! Savoring this sweet moment in time ❤️❤️ during an overwhelming parenting week. . A friendly reminder that the struggle is real over here- this picture doesn’t show it (nor does most of social media) but parenting is HARD and kids are so challenging, at least mine are!! Goodness gracious so challenging & I can’t even imagine when they have real “big kid problems” 🙈😬 . If you’re a parent and you feel like you are lost or the only one whose kids do this and that or maybe you’re regretting your own reaction to the chaos (I do this constantly 😬) please know you are not alone! All the same things are going on over here 🙋🏻‍♀️... #keepinitreal #parentingishard
I love this reminder. No matter what we are going through or will go through he is right there with us, ahead of us, leading us through it. Our part is trusting that he is and leaning into his plans 🙏🏼 #mondaymotivation #verseoftheweek
We had to wait in the waiting room for over 30 minutes today...I feel you Lala 😆 #waitingpatiently #overit #dramaqueen👑
I love this reminder. If we can’t control the little things why worry about any of it at all...however, it’s much easier said than done. It takes focusing on his truths and remembering all the moments he takes care of us and shows us his ways are better than our own 💛 Write them down so when worry creeps in you can easily look back and reflect on all those times he showed up 🙌🏼 #verseoftheweek #mondaymotivation #worryless

Happy National Bubble Bath Day 🤗🥳 ... . I only know this is today because my sons school wrote it on the chalkboard in the lobby, and no I did not rush home and throw all my kids in the bath 🙃 this was a few weeks ago...but it did make me think about how our days of bubble baths are SHORT too short! . If you have time today or one night soon throw those babes in a bubble bath & have your camera ready! They are always my favorite pictures🤗 #nationalbubblebathday
Who can relate?😂#movienarrator💁🏼‍♀️ #boysinthezone
Best friends & worst enemies right here ❤️❤️ . I’m loving having the Christmas decor down but seeing this makes me miss the coziness of it all 😍 . Do your decorations stay up in January or are they gone by New Years?! #bennettb #lala #sweetmornings
This morning was different. SO different- in a good way! All because I chose to challenge myself... . Look at these 3 happy humans that I’m about to sit down with for breakfast before school. I can’t believe I actually got to sit down with them?! Normally I’m giving them breakfast while rushing around getting lunches together, doing all the things, Tv is on for entertainment, and I’m coaching them to eat faster because we have to get dressed, do hair, etc etc 🤪 Well not today 💪🏼 . Last night I made the commitment to start waking up an hour early and that’s all I had to do to generate peace in our morning routine. . I woke up at 5:30, got dressed and ready, had a cup of coffee while doing my morning devotions and prayer journal, prayed for the day ahead, ate breakfast, packed their bags and set their coats and shoes together. I even had time to plan a few meals for the week, throw laundry in the washing machine and make a to do list for the day...all before my oldest woke up at 7 . I was able to greet my kids this morning with a smile and big hugs, I sat with them while they ate and talked about their plans for the day. I didn’t have to rush them or put them aside to do allllll the things. . It felt so good and my entire day has been more productive and positive. It still wasn’t a perfect morning but I was able to be a better mom because I had time to prepare my mind. I’m not a morning person and usually I’m running around like a bat outta hell to get everyone out the door 😅 so today is a BIG deal for me 🙌🏼 It was the best morning we’ve had in a long time ❤️ . Mamas if you can relate and want to try a simple thing to get your day off to a better start consider giving yourself an extra hour in the morning, it’s not easy but it is worth it ❤️
