Waving Goodbye to the Fourth Trimester

February 7, 2022

They call it “the fourth trimester”. The first 3 months of postpartum life. As if it’s still a part of your pregnancy because your body is in full recovery mode. Not only are you in full recovery mode, but you are in full care-taker mode as well. Nourishing, cuddling, and providing for your sweet newborn…

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022.

December 29, 2021

We are mere days away from 2022 and everywhere I am hearing people’s trepidation over the upcoming year. “No one claim this your year,” they say. “Tip toe in quietly, be good, be respectful. Don’t touch anything.” Or, “Before I agree to 2022, I’d like to read the terms and conditions.” Those quotes are comical…

Joy in the hard days of Motherhood

August 16, 2021

I described my day with littles to a friend, and they replied, “I’m sorry that sounds like a not great day, like a lot of tough things happened.” And I replied, “ya know, it was actually pretty good. Not a bad day in the line of motherhood. I’m learning I have to just roll with…

How to Remain in Jesus as a Mom

May 10, 2021

I don’t know about you but remaining in Jesus has looked quite differently for me since becoming a mama. In talking with his disciples, Jesus said in John 15:4-5, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit…

Don’t Plow Forever: How to Know When It’s Time to Change Things Up

January 11, 2021

By Kirsten Mount When we first put up our Christmas decorations, our 1-year old son was completely amazed. He ran around the house pointing at every new item in our house and continued to wake up every morning, squealing and pointing downstairs so he could run around and see everything again. Our morning routine began…

I laughed out loud at my New Year’s reflection from 2020

December 26, 2020

I know that I wrote my 2020 New Years reflection with great seriousness and hope, but I couldn’t help laughing out loud when I read it last week. Almost one year ago, Matt and I sat down to reflect. To look back at 2019 and look ahead to 2020. And it was really fun to…

Here’s why you should reflect + set intentions for the New Year

December 22, 2020

Reflect and set intentions for the new year? I know, I know. 2020 has been a year, if you get my tone. Why would anyone want to reflect upon the dumpster-fire that was 2020? But here’s the thing–I think the Lord has something for us in the remembering + reflecting of the past year. In…

Why My Kids Love our Advent Card Tradition

Christmas has become my kids’ favorite holiday of the year. They love it so much in fact, that they convinced me to celebrate Christmas in July this past summer. Now, I get it, everyone loves Christmas–but for our family, one tradition in particular has made it a cause for celebration all month long—Advent Cards. And…
To My Son, on your Due Date

I promise I began this post on your due date, Wells. It’s just that–you’re the fourth child and while I had every intention of writing the full story of your birth on your actual due date (since you came 8 days early!), it’s taken me a few additional days to write it down. And, to…
Letters from a Young Mother

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my time. How I spend it. How I want to spend it. And recently, I was reading Missional Motherhood by Gloria Furman where she spends some time exegeting Titus 2. In verses 3-5, it says– Titus 2:3-5, “Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves…
