“Santa was an easy tool to begin to paint a picture of God for our girls”

December 15, 2020

In the weeks leading up to my first Christmas as a mom, a friend of mine whose daughter was a few years older explained to me that she and her husband had decided not to talk about Santa Claus as a family. “It’s creepy,” she explained, “there’s a guy watching you sleep, deciding if you’re naughty or…

When My hopes of being a “good mom” are shattered.

November 14, 2020

It’s 3am and I’m awoken by the sound of my ten month old crying. I pause for a few minutes and realize that it’s his hunger cry. I sleepily pull myself out of bed and walk across the hall to his room. After he has nursed for a few minutes, I crawl back into bed…

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…
