rejoicing during the waves and turbulence.
Yep. You read it right! I'm going to talk about the day that I saw myself in a magazine for the first time. Well, that day was actually today - Friday, May 3rd, 2019. And it wasn't what I thought it was going to be like... Elementary school me would have thought I was a [...]
Dun dun dun... the time has come. Our first deployment with a child that is a toddler. Last deployment, Anakin was only an infant. The one before that, he was growing in my belly! We're exploring a new territory, and while I'm so sad my husband isn't around for the rest of the year, I [...]
This post contains affiliate links; thanks for supporting our military family by shopping our recommendations! How in the world are we half way to two?! Our baby is growing and playing and TALKING; today's word was "eyeball" followed by sudden jabs to my pupil with his pointer finger. There is still so much sweet baby [...]

WE DID IT! I cried as we strolled past the railroad station and into main street; all of my childhood dreams have come true. Anakin has been to Disney parks about ten times now... nine of them were while I was pregnant! Going at 15 months old was the perfect time for him. There were [...]
I would have loved to write about this, but our story is so long and confusing. This video was supposed to be our pregnancy announcement, however I am blessed to raise my voice against Satan's. We hope this is encouraging to other families to celebrate their pregnancies, seek community, and trust their intuition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyn7MCrJeMQ&feature=youtu.be
*TRIGGER WARNING: This content contains personal testimonies of miscarriage, infertility, loss of life, etc.* A harsh title for an even harsher reality, right? If you’re new here or stopping by, this is the last post of a series on the lies I’ve believed that have held me back from walking in confidence, joy, [...]
We are now a few weeks into this deployment and I am surprisingly surviving. Even when my husband first mentioned joining the military, all I imagined was raising babies alone. That sounded awful. Welp - here I am! Raising those babies alone, and guess what... IT'S NOT AWFUL! I am actually enjoying the extra [...]
I often refer back to the heartbeat of what started this blog... It was my first day as a supporter of my (now) husband's career in the military. From boot camp survival guides (as a girlfriend), to long distance relationships as a fiance... to care packages and homecoming signs as a wife, and what to [...]
This post is in collaboration with JORD Watches My first real mother's day is coming up... It won't be the first celebrated - my dogs (AKA my husband) have gotten me cards for years and last year I was pregnant... but this is my first real mother's day of having my heart live outside of my body.
