Look how much Izaiah has grown! I still can’t believe how quickly time escapes me when it comes to parenting my little ones. Even the third time around, it’s something new to savor and discover as a mom. Stepping into an even newer season of motherhood, I’ve found myself truly being so blessed by theRead More
Family on Easter Sunday
Our Easter Sunday gathering was full of laughs, egg hunting, and so much quality time my love tank is bursting at the seams. The amount of warmth in the house was rather aromatic and tangible when you moved the right way. When Mike and I prayed for a home, this was one of our mainRead More
Memories to Create this Easter
I love the art of creating moments for my kids and family. Even more so as the boys grow and really begin to understand the importance of finding every opportunity to spend time where it matters. My most memorable moments surround how my own mom could turn the ordinary into something special. Even as aRead More
In this Season: Spring Snow Day
By these photos you wouldn’t know that the first day of Spring is here! I’ve been waiting for an actual snow day in Virginia. The weather this year has been even more abnormal than usual (even for Virginia). So I didn’t have my hopes up too high when I heard the buzz about snow comingRead More
Tasty Eats: Homemade Lollipops
So a few days ago I came across a recipe for homemade lollipops. It looked easy and since I had a bought a candy mold not to long ago…I figured why not give it a shot. And I like how they turned out…they tasted great too! Even made some orange ones…wha what! The only issueRead More

Getting Titus to bed is a workout. For some reason he is shocked at the same routine -EVERY NIGHT. Do your kids do that? Act as though bedtime is a complete and utter shock constantly? Maybe it’s just mine.. but tonight was extra special as we quickly discovered that Titus had shoved a small brownRead More
Motherhood: Embracing FIVE
I’m convinced that this is a pivotal moment in my parenting. Not the simply my child is/can be intense, challenging, downright off the chain type of pivotal…but rather an actual time where I’m having to evaluate myself as a parent and if my style of motherhood is actually effective in my child’s life. It’s noRead More
Woven: Building Longer Tables
We all want a seat at the table… I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lobbied for a seat. Tried to adjust, fix, maneuver a way to the “table.” Sometimes with success and others where I felt so insecure that I dismissed myself and said I wasn’t qualified enough. In my life the tableRead More
Motherhood: Then there were 3…
Titus pooped on the floor. Makai has become an adult overnight and no longer needs my direction. Izaiah is on his own schedule, rightfully so. All of them need my time, they deserve (especially the poop on aisle 3)… but how do you prioritize three babies? The question I’ve been spinning in my mind theRead More
