Just you wait: to the women afraid of having children
I can’t believe my baby is almost 2 months old! Time is absolutely flying by. Nearly every day with her is perfect. We’ve had a few moments where I’m at my wits end trying to comfort her for some unexplainable turmoil she is experiencing, but other than that life with a daughter is pure bliss.…

Caroline’s Birth Story
I can hardly believe I have a daughter, much less that she will be three weeks old tomorrow. We waited for so many months, and now the days are flying by, and my baby is changing before my very eyes. I wanted to share a little bit about her birth story and her first few…

this is truly the greatest time to be alive
I don’t watch the “news” but any glimpse at social media or the internet tells me there are a lot of angry people out there today. And rightfully so. Our election process has turned into a third world country-esque joke and one political party wants to effectively eliminate every semblance of family, freedom and reason…

Help!!
While I do not believe there is anything inherently magical about stepping into a new year, I am looking forward to this new season with excitement and expectation. Call me campy, but I like to pray for a word each year, something to focus and a way for me to look for the Lord’s hand…

What I’ve learned in our first year of marriage
This month, we celebrated one year of marriage. Hopefully another 50 to go! I love being married to Lucas. It’s just as wonderful as I was hoping it would be. It’s better than my wildest dreams and honestly so much fun. Every night is like its own little party. Lucas comes home from work and…

Thankful. Period.
I have to admit, it’s hard for me to relate to all these “difficult year” sentiments. I suppose we all take turns with hardships, and believe me, I have seen some trying seasons, but 2020 has been largely sweet for this not so newlywed. Today, I caught up on FB. (Three babies born this week!)–to…

How to convince people to live like you think they should: my journey into anti-feminism and true womanhood
Today, I am going to share some of my story, and how we can truly effect change. Nine years ago, I graduated high school and made the choice to attend a women’s college. I thought this would be an idyllic southern experience. The campus is well over one hundred years old, steeped in history and…

Sometimes, I worry I will be a terribly incapable mother.
About 88% of the time, I am absolutely thrilled to become a mom. After I decided to stop living in the perpetual fear of having another miscarriage, I have proceeded to have a very anxiety-free, fun and truly easy pregnancy. I’ve purposely limited the books and materials I have ingested, because everyone has such differing…

What’s your “testimony” and why is it so important?
Recently I heard someone wise expound upon the importance of the verse, “we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.” I think I have always thought of my testimony as the singular event when I became a Christian. When asked to share your “testimony”, —such a Christian word—- you…

Lucas is not the one for me.
This month, Lucas and I are celebrating two years together. In September of 2018, he moved here and our long distance relationship became a gloriously short distance relationship. It was all incredibly new for me–I had never been in a relationship and had no concept for how such things were supposed to go. I’ve since…
