Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey I have been at peace with decisions that I made to provide an environment for my children that embraced their over all well-being. An environment of interest, creativity, strengths and weaknesses, love, joy, kindness, and yes even disagreements with brother but healthy disagreements. Healthy disagreements where we can learn at a young age to control ourselves, our emotions, and our reactions. I know as an adult there are some that we will face that are challenging and everything seems to be a constant battle but as an … [Read more...]
Homeschool
It has been raining for like the millionth day but the rain has forced us to stay home more than usual and allow us to really focus on some things around the house. So even though I miss the sunshine I am thankful for the rain too. We started a whole new adventure since the last time I really blogged on this space. When I first started this blog years ago it was such a time of healing for me and flourished into a space of writing about my faith, love, loss, and motherhood. I haven't been able to focus so much on this little space for quite some time but there are … [Read more...]
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month
October is Pregnancy, Stillbirth, & Infant Loss Awareness month. This is our sweet angel baby, Payton. She died during childbirth and it completely shattered our hearts.

Family, friends, nurses, even strangers wrapped us in prayer and love during our loss and grief. I poured my self into raising awareness and helping other moms the … [Read more...]
For You
I take my days here on this earth for granted a lot. Just being able to hug and hold my two kiddos and teach them about life while playing with legos, driving to the park, reading books together, school work, sports, and the list goes on. I take for granted my time as if I will be on this earth forever so I don't say I love you enough, I'm not a good enough friend, I put off things for tomorrow instead of today, feeling completely secure in my earthly life. But I think of you often. I miss you everyday. I share about you too but not because I'm constantly living in … [Read more...]
Remember the Mother
Mother’s day is different for all mothers but also very real. This Mother’s Day, remember all the different mothers celebrating and grieving. If I am honest, sometimes I miss the innocence of Mother’s day and what it could be before my sweet baby died but I am also so very thankful to be her mama. Mother’s day can be an incredibly hard time especially for those that are mourning. Being a stillbirth mama I completely get it. Eleven years later I still have moments where I think of her name and it just takes my breath away. I have mourned many Mother’s days but I have … [Read more...]
