I’ve had people comment how brave I am to share so much of my life publicly. I’ve also had people say “I could never do that! I’m too private.” Please don’t mistake the way I show up on social media as I’m not a private person. I have things that are not shared, thoughts I […]

we’re in the four-eyes club
I had suddenly noticed little changes to my vision in the last couple months – I got migraines occasionally (extremely rare for me), distance seemed blurry sometimes, things would go in and out of focus at times and my eyes often felt tired like they had been straining for a long time. Since my last […]

adoption has a cost
Adoption has a cost. More than a financial cost. A cost of time, peace, emotions, resources. “I didn’t know how much this process would cost me!” was something I said with exhaustion & brokenness a couple months ago. I know this journey will be well worth it when we’re holding that promise, but there are […]
my new polaroid – shopping links included
I brought my polaroid to Seattle, knowing I would want to document some of my adventures. On Tuesday (7.5.22), my brother and I left early to hit his work (a camera store) before going on a hike. When we arrived at his work, I realized I had left my polaroid in my backpack, which I […]

You can see our previous trips here – 2015 – I visited for Christmas 2016 – […]

the adoption bear
After the farmer’s market last Saturday (6.4.22), my sister-in-law and I went to the thrift store. I followed her to the kids section when I saw it. A bear, propped on a shelf away from all the other stuffed animals I avoid. I read the writing on his chest and my heart got emotional because […]
how i nursed for one full year (finally)
Nursing is a part of motherhood I never expected to be difficult. God designed our bodies to grow another human being, that in and of itself is absolutely incredible to me. I was made to do that. So I just assumed nursing would come naturally and easily. Ha. Yeah right! Rylie made me a mom, and with […]

our sourdough journey
If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably noticed I’ve talked about making sourdough. It’s one of those things I’ve watched others do for a couple years and have desired to start doing myself. But, truthfully, it seemed complicated and it intimidated me. But one day, my library friend brought freshly made sourdough bagels […]
a summer to refocus
Somewhat unintentionally, last year I came up with a word / vibe for the summer and it turned out to be a regular (needed) reminder to myself. I loved it! Well, I did the same for this year, and this summer’s theme is a spinoff of my word for the year (FOCUS)- REfocus! These first […]
