on And versus Or

It’s not like me to not post here in two weeks. That breaks my own social media ‘rules’, the ones I teach churches to use. I tell them to post at least once a week so it doesn’t get ‘cobwebby’ in their space. Can you see the spiderwebs building up in the corners here?...

On Traveling by Air with Baby

Last month we went on a 5-day trip with The Boy that included two plane rides, a shuttle and a hotel. Each way. You know that my darling Boy never sits still has energy to spare, is quite vocal, and doesn’t love to sleep. Not a great combination for plane rides....

On Being Intentional in Community

Let’s talk. After Sam was born, I had a hard time. The ridiculous math of extreme sleep deprivation + unhealed body = a new mama coming apart at the seams. I was trying to figure out how to be a mom, wrapping my brain around this new precious gorgeous baby that...

on the dirty word that rusts out my heart

Tonight, while I was right next to him, my Boy fell against the toilet (out of the mouths of moms, right?!) He was crying, and I kept telling him that he was fine, but later I saw that his eyelid was red and puffy =( He must’ve bumped it when he fell, but I...

on the First Day

of October!!———-One of the reasons I love blogging is that I love to read blogs. I’m a big ol’ snoop. If I use your bathroom, chances are I may have peeked in your medicine cabinet. I KNOW!! It’s a character flaw. I just love...

on things i haven’t told you yet

My Boy is nearing his 9 month birthday, and I’ve started planning his first birthday celebration! Though it’s three months away yet, I’m convinced that you can’t start too early, especially for something around the holidays. You can plan along...

on being happy

I’ve realized that though balancing work and a house and a super ridiculously active baby who doesn’t sleep is the hardest and most exhausting thing I’ve ever tried to do, I am also the happiest I’ve ever been. I feel all glowy and lovely and...

on summer weekends

We linger over weekends, soaking in every drop of one another. Suppertime lasts longer when it’s eaten slowly on the back porch, baby bellied up to the table, mama and daddy smiling over glasses of lemonade. Through the park we stroll, letting the dog off her...

on sand and thoughts: Sunday Simplicity

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them;they outnumber the grains of sand! psalm 139:17-18 May you feel thought of with joy today. anna {girl with blog} anna {girl with blog} ———-...

on feelings and sales

Oh friends. I haven’t been able to stop treading water. I feel like the day has to come when I will maybe kinda sorta have things together, but with such little sleep and such a moving baby… I remain exhausted and just hanging on. BUT, my little baby is a...

on he who is SUCH a boy

Did I tell you that The Boy stands up now? Pulls himself up on whatever’s handy and stands, so proud of himself. He used to bounce in that bouncy seat. That bouncy seat was how mama got a shower. Now he uses it to stand up on his own teeny tiny adorable two...

on overload

I’m here. I’m fine. Well, I’m exhausted and nursing a sick husband back to health and going on five hours of sleep total for the last two days and work is piling up around me and so are the dishes but I have the cutest baby ever, so I just breathe...
