**I picked up Chris from the airport late last night and wanted to give him the chance to see the pics and hear everything before I posted!  I drove in tears to my sono yesterday.  Half out of fear, half because of all the emails and texts rolling in. I felt so covered in prayer […]

I have gotten quite a few emails asking me how I deal with the fear of being pregnant again after miscarriage. Well- I will be honest, for me..at times…it is paralyzing. I understand that many women deal with fear in pregnancy but when you have walked through a miscarriage, thought everything was great and have […]

Early morning. Chris got up around 7:30 for an early meeting. I wake easily so I sat up.  Both babies still sound asleep. Ains in her crib, aiden next to me. There is a window in our room and the sun was peeking through perfectly on his face. I thought about the laundry still sitting in the dryer […]

I was outside this weekend with the kiddos and started thinking about this blog. I was watching Ainsleigh and laughing for the hundredth time about this hilarious thing she does. As soon as we get outside she starts collecting sticks like a little bird. As fast as she can she starts picking them all up […]

I am so so excited to bring you a recipe again today from Erin of  Sunshine & Carousels.  I asked her team.up with me on a little project… since I am not so good in the kitchen/ DIY area and she is AMA.ZING….(not only does she create incredible things but her presentation is BEAUTIFUL), I […]

I was Looking through this old book I read years ago. I honestly rarely have time to read but something was pulling me to look at it –so I did. “distinction between memorizing a definition of a rose in websters dictionary & actually holding one in your hand…” Picking a fresh rose,  with fresh rain […]

I talked a lot about Chris entering a film in the 168 film festival this year. I am not allowed to post the film until after it is judged but I get to post the trailer today… it’s a taste of all the work he put into it!! This year he wrote, cast, edited and […]

With Ashley in town with us we decided it would be fun to go to the Dallas zoo with her and the kiddos! We had an absolute blast! Aiden’s favorite was feeding the giraffes and Ainsleigh loved the slides :). One giraffe literally ate lettuce from Aiden’s hand….we ate pizza and enjoyed this beautiful weather, […]

The Dallas Shine Event was this weekend and it was so amazing!  So many people came (thank you from the bottom of my heart if you were someone who came) and sweet Ashley stayed with our family for 4 days. It was such an incredible event and we made over 200 blankets for Dallas Life […]

If you asked me…. If you asked me, I would tell you that I haven’t painted in ten weeks… Honestly the thought of it makes me feel tired and I love to paint when I’m inspired and full of passion/creativity. I know it’s a teeny dry spell… And I’m ok with that. If you asked […]
