Letting My Mind, Body, and Soul Heal After Hard Seasons

One of the hardest lessons I have learned after walking through hard seasons is this:healing does not happen in just one part of us. For a long time, I focused on surviving. On getting through. On holding it together for my kids, my family, and the responsibilities in front of me. And for a while,Continue reading “Letting My Mind, Body, and Soul Heal After Hard Seasons”

Postpartum After Trauma: When Healing Comes in Layers You Didn’t Expect

Postpartum is already a season of enormous change. But when you have lived through medical trauma, pregnancy complications, loss, or life-threatening moments, postpartum can feel especially confusing. Some days you may feel grateful and steady. Other days your body feels tense, alert, or emotionally heavy without an obvious reason. These reactions can feel discouraging, especiallyContinue reading “Postpartum After Trauma: When Healing Comes in Layers You Didn’t Expect”

Postpartum Hormones and the Nervous System: Why You Feel “Off” and What Your Body Is Really Asking For

Postpartum doesn’t end at six weeks.And healing does not follow a neat timeline. One of the most confusing parts of postpartum life is feeling emotionally unsettled even when everything looks “fine” on the outside.

Some days you mayContinue reading “Postpartum Hormones and the Nervous System: Why You Feel “Off” and What Your Body Is Really Asking For”

Jehovah Jireh: Seeing God’s Provision in Genesis 22–24

Some mornings begin quietly. Others begin after sleepless nights, early feedings, and the ordinary demands of family life. On those mornings especially, opening God’s Word feels less like a routine and more like a lifeline. Today, my reading brought me to Genesis chapters 22 through 24. I did not rush through them. I couldn’t. TheseContinue reading “Jehovah Jireh: Seeing God’s Provision in Genesis 22–24”

Homemade Chestnut Praline Simple Syrup (A Healthier Winter Coffee Favorite)

I love making simple syrups at home. Not only are they far healthier than what you’ll typically find at a corporate coffee shop, but they also save a surprising amount of money over time. Once you realize how easy they are to make, it’s hard to go back. In the summer months, our go-to isContinue reading “Homemade Chestnut Praline Simple Syrup (A Healthier Winter Coffee Favorite)”

When the Tree Comes Down: Carrying Christmas Into Everyday Life

There is something quietly emotional about the day the Christmas decorations come down. The tree is boxed away. Ornaments are carefully wrapped and stored. The twinkling lights that once filled the living room with warmth are unplugged and tucked back into bins. The house feels calmer, quieter, and somehow a little less alive. After weeksContinue reading “When the Tree Comes Down: Carrying Christmas Into Everyday Life”

When the List Is Longer Than the Funds: Trusting God in the In-Between

There are seasons when the list never seems to stop growing. The kind of list that does not come from impulse or poor planning, but from life simply happening. Cars age. Bodies need care. Homes require upkeep. Children grow. Work demands continue. Needs stack on top of needs. And sometimes, just when you finally checkContinue reading “When the List Is Longer Than the Funds: Trusting God in the In-Between”

Pumping Is Breastfeeding: An Honest Look at the Invisible Work

There is a quiet group of parents walking a breastfeeding journey that often goes unseen, misunderstood, and undervalued. They are the ones pumping. Some choose pumping intentionally. Some arrive there unexpectedly. Others land there after weeks of tears, lactation appointments, tongue tie struggles, NICU stays, medical complications, or babies who simply cannot latch. Yet somehow,Continue reading “Pumping Is Breastfeeding: An Honest Look at the Invisible Work”

Ending the Year Gently: A Faith-Centered Reflection for Families

As another year comes to a close, it can feel natural to rush toward what’s next. Lists begin forming, goals are set, and expectations quietly stack up before the new year even arrives. Our culture praises fresh starts that move fast and aim high. But for many families, especially those walking through seasons of transition,Continue reading “Ending the Year Gently: A Faith-Centered Reflection for Families”

Leaving MLM and Choosing a Simpler, More Peaceful Path

This year marked a quiet but significant turning point for our family. After spending nearly a decade in the MLM and network marketing world, I stepped away. Not out of anger, bitterness, or resentment, but out of honesty. Honesty with myself. Honesty with God. And honesty about what was truly sustainable for our family. ForContinue reading “Leaving MLM and Choosing a Simpler, More Peaceful Path”
