Family
As a working mom with two young kids, I’ve had to learn a lot about the parent I want to be. It’s never perfect and requires an extra dose of grace but I’ve come to desire being famous in my own home, and for everyone in my home to be truly known, seen, and discipled to first before going out in the world.

I have my masters in Speech Language Pathology and I take my kid to speech; but that’s not the point.
I studied communication disorders in undergrad, have my masters in speech language pathology and I’ve worked with children with communication disorders for the last six years and I take my kid to speech.

Approaching Your Family’s Nutrition When you Have Struggled with Disordered Eating
I’ve put off sharing this for so long because honestly I just didn’t really know how to say it. The more I share meals and our family’s approach to nutrition the more I feel like I’m almost hiding something. Somehow I still don’t exactly know what to say but I feel like a little backstory…
Family Pizza Night

Even coming up with this list is enough to make my head spin. There are so many classifications for the way people choose to eat.

“Mama Tried”
This morning, as I sit down and try and figure out my thoughts on this topic I couldn’t help but think of ole Merle and one of his bests, “Mama tried”. As women, we are innately wired to care so deeply and to try so hard in everything and with everything.. sometimes to the point…
Hi friends!
Gosh I can hardly believe I’ve started this thing. As I sit here my cheeks are sore. I mean like really sore. As I’m navigating this new journey, something that I feel I have been called to do for a long time, but still feel all the nervousness/excitement/joy/complete terror my cheeks are sore. I realize…
