It's a little over one year from the birth of my second baby and it's time to write. Hers was so special to me, I've just had to treasure it in my heart for this year. I write it here on my blog not to be too personal, but because I desire this blog to… Continue reading Eilah’s Birth Story
How to Recover from Birth
Dear mama, You've just come through it, haven't you? I remember the complete shock when my first child was born. My first thought was "Whoa, heavy!" It was a water birth & as soon as he was in my arms, I realized why it was so crazy carrying him those last few weeks- 9 lbs… Continue reading How to Recover from Birth
How I trained baby #2 to sleep
At first I was going to title this, "How I trained baby #2 to sleep through the night". But, I decided to drop the second part because she only *just* started sleeping through and so this post is mostly about promoting baby sleep. That's what the past almost year has been like! (I can't believe… Continue reading How I trained baby #2 to sleep
What’s it’s like being a mom of 2 :) 11 months in!
It's been 11 months since having our second child and I thought it would be nice to share how it's been going! First, you see those faces?! I adore them!

2019- Year in Review
2019 will always be the year I had my baby girl. She came to us "late" but early this year in February. Such a sweet gift and perfect addition to our family. I just finished playing with my son, laying beside each other laughing inside his tent. There's nothing that fills my heart so much… Continue reading 2019- Year in Review
What I wish They Told Me Before Having 2 Kids under 2
Here's what I wish "they" would've told me before I had 2 kids under 2. Fall and Christmas plates & decor come back in season before you know it. Just leave them out! 🙂 You might feel like you are required to be the energizer bunny & pulled in many directions, but just breathe. It.will.all.come.together!… Continue reading What I wish They Told Me Before Having 2 Kids under 2
What Type of Parent I am
I've had the amazing realization of what kind of parent I should be this week. I want to start by saying that I have a reallly compassionate heart and I remember what it was like to be a tenderhearted kid. So, I guess I've always wondered how I would parent. I figured that I would… Continue reading What Type of Parent I am
Why People Think MLMs are BAD for Women
What a title, eh? Nope, I'm not Canadian! My passion for (true) feminism is what led me to write this article. MLMS have a stigma, to say the least. I've never paid too much attention to stigmas, especially when it comes to something I have solidly thought through, talked through with a few close people… Continue reading Why People Think MLMs are BAD for Women
Becoming what I wanted to be when I grew up
I have been doing my dream job for the past 8 years. Since the age of 12, I dreamed of growing up to be a missionary. An African Children's Choir came to our church and my family hosted two boys. It was such an amazing time. We had so much fun and I was deeply… Continue reading Becoming what I wanted to be when I grew up
To the One
For being a courageous person, I haven't felt very fear-less lately. Haven't felt like stepping out. And along with that, my goal of using this as a platform to hear others' voices, a chorus of courageous ones together has not been happening. In fact, I've failed to post someone's blog who accepted my invitation to… Continue reading To the One
