I have written in several entries how much I struggle with perfectionism and how hard I am working to overcome that source of stress and unhappiness. Because of that, it is often extremely hard for me to ask for or accept help, even when I need it most. Continue reading

A Goal is a Dream…
I’m sure many of you have heard the saying “A goal is a dream with a timeline” or “A goal is a dream with a plan” and since it’s the new year and I promised I’d share a little bit more about my goals and dreams, now seemed like a good time to write this post. Continue reading
Cultivate Kindness
I don’t know about you, but 2016 has been rough for us. Exhausting, discouraging, full of hard work and lots of blessings too, but mostly we are looking towards 2017 and praying things feel a little less difficult. Or at least difficult in different, meaningful ways given that we have a newborn on the way… Continue reading
Community: Kinderperfect and Parents Night In!
I mentioned in my last post that I had a fun Sunday evening with some of the ladies from my moms group. We got together for a Moms Night in Game Night that led to lots of laughs, getting to know each other better, and an all around fabulous night! Continue reading
C is for Community…
I wrote recently about my love for fall and my gratitude that a rough summer was coming to a close. I had some idea of how isolating being so sick this summer made me, but now that I get a few days each week where I feel human again and can make it out of the house or actually cross stuff of my to-do list, it is throwing into sharp contrast how lonely I really was.

I’ve written before and I am sure I will write again about my continued confused, complex, and rarely satisfactory relationship with social media and my smart phone. This summer I have tried to intentionally cut back quite a bit. Here’s the social media “diet” I’ve had myself on since around the time my son turned two: Continue reading
Celebrating REST
So it’s been a while since I posted! Mostly because I didn’t have a lot of time or wifi on our vacation. But now we’re home and I’m trying to play catch up on blog posts amid playing catch up on life in general (traveling always means SO MUCH LAUNDRY! Also, our yard did not like being neglected for over two weeks. whoops…) but this post is a good start and one I actually wrote while on vacation but never had a chance to post… Continue reading
Celebrating Motherhood
There are two themes on my mind and heart this Mother’s Day: community and legacy.
I celebrated my first “official” mother’s day last year right around the time that I was really starting to come out of my new mom bubble. Continue reading
Change is GOOD
I wrote last post about how change can be really hard and how long distance with my husband has made this a trying month. But today, as we close out April and as I close out my 20s, I wanted to write about some awesome changes that have happened during the last decade: Continue reading
Change is HARD
You may have noticed that I’ve written less this month than usual. Something which is maybe odd considering I just got a bunch of time back now that Macbeth is over. Well, let’s just say I’m holding out hope that April Showers bring May flowers… Continue reading
