What I Feed My Toddlers in a Day: Simple, Healthy Meals We Actually Eat
Feeding my toddlers has been a tall order . Some days they eat full meals, and other days they thrive on cereal and mini rice cakes. If you’ve ever wondered how your child can eat everything one day and nothing the next … join the club. Lately, my husband and I have been intentional about transitioning our family toward a more anti-inflammatory way of eating. The goal isn’t perfection or restriction, but more nourishment. We want to give our bodies, and especially our growin

Our New Year Toddler Routine + The Preschool Prep Skills We’re Focusing On
The last three years have been all about survival. With two babies under the age of two, keeping a schedule simply wasn’t a priority. Our days flowed in whatever way kept everyone fed, safe, and me somewhat sane. And honestly, that was enough for that season. Now that my toddlers are getting a bit older, it feels like the right time to begin introducing more of a routine. Not in a rigid or overwhelming way, but in a way that gently supports them as they learn basic life skill

Starting the Year in Prayer: 5 Scriptures for When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed
One thing I’m being intentional about this year is starting with God first and learning to let go of the stress that comes with trying to figure out everything on my own. Last year was tough. It began with me slowly adjusting to what it meant to be a homemaker, without any family or friends nearby, all while caring for a two-year-old and a fourteen-month-old. Every day felt impossible. Most mornings started with tears...mostly from me. This year, I’m determined to shift the d

Our Last Year in Atlanta: The Full Bucket List
This year feels so bittersweet for our family. After spending two years living in Atlanta, we are entering into our final year in a city that has shaped us in so many ways.

From Federal Office to Full-Time Mom: Finding Purpose in the Pause
For years, my identity was deeply tied to my career. I loved the structure, the sense of accomplishment, the independence that came from earning my own income, and even the small things. Like picking up coffee on the way to the office or wearing something other than leggings. But when motherhood arrived, my heart began to shift. For the first year after my daughter was born, I continued working full-time while my mother came to our home to care for her. Thirteen months after

How my Single Years Set the Foundation for my Season as a Stay at Home Mom
Before marriage and motherhood, I had no idea that the financial decisions I was making in my single years would one day give me the freedom to stay home with my kids. At the time, my motivation for getting smart with money wasn’t to prepare for motherhood, it was because God shifted my heart. I wanted to live generously, steward what He gave me, and use my resources to bless others. I didn’t realize that the same habits that helped me pursue generosity would also one day mak

A Typical Day With My Two Toddlers: Finding Grace in the Chaos
Every morning, my day starts before the sun is even up. Not because I’m an early riser, but because this is the only time I really get a moment to myself. With two toddlers, the day doesn’t ease in. It starts loud, and with big feelings that I don’t always understand. Without any family nearby, everything these days falls on me and my husband. Some days we operate like a well-oiled machine. Other days require extra time in prayer. Once the toddlers wake up, we have breakfast.
