this is who we be.
it’s thursday night. i’m tired and the husband is sick. we’ve been sitting on the couch together in silence for the last hour. he’s reading through leviticus and i’m reading recipes online. we’re normal, right?
what a lovely holiday
I’m just gonna say that my first Valentine’s Day as married girl was a success. It could have been that he couldn’t wait to give me presents so they were brought out last night. It could be that in the mix of gifts there were REAL PEARL EARRINGS (let the choirs start to sing). It… Continue reading what a lovely holiday
valentine’s day!
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days. I’m not surrounded by a whole lot of red, white, and pink this year and I’ve not made one heart shaped sugar cookie (making dozens of cookies for two people in a house?! bad, bad, bad.), but it’s still here and I’m still so excited. We’re celebrating our… Continue reading valentine’s day!
to my baby
Dear Baby I’ll Never Hold, Today I, your mama, sat at the kitchen island, so very empty and so lacking of you, and cried. And cried some more. And then cried more.

the start to our day
this morning didn’t start according to plan. the alarm was reset for 20 minutes after we were both supposed to rise. when we managed to finally roll out of bed i scurried downstairs in a rush to quickly make food for the husband’s day in the office and brew a pot of coffee. only i… Continue reading the start to our day
making this my life
after years of spending every single day under the direction and oversight of my mums, i suddenly found myself at the magical age of 18. it appears magical because you’re encouraged to try spreading your wings a bit, however that may be. some get jobs, some commute to community colleges, some move states away for… Continue reading making this my life
home
after a week of house/dog sitting at my In-Laws i just walked through my front door, arms full of things that were needed for a whole week spent away. it’s the small things in life, but today, for the first time, i didn’t view this big green house as simply the place i moved to… Continue reading home
He’s doing.
i don’t always like when He starts opening bits of my heart, revealing the areas of weakness. but how i like the change that comes when i humbly ask for His help to overcome. via
