Encouragements For Wives

The Power Of Transferring Love

2018-11-15

My daughter sat at the kitchen table finishing up her dinner. I was sitting on the couch nursing our youngest. My daughter, Olive, who is three years old, looked over my way and said in the sweetest, high-pitched, Fancy Nancy voice, Mom, when I’m done eating, I’m gonna snuggle with you and hug you and put all of my love in your heart.” My heart filled up immediately.

Help! My Children Are Growing Up Too Fast!

2018-11-07

Today my son Eliott turns SIX?! It feels like only yesterday that I was in labor, anxious and excited to meet my first child. Now I have four children and time doesn’t seem to be stopping or slowing down enough to savor all of the goodness. The Bible says children are a blessing. As much as I have always been fond of children, eager to babysit or enjoying my job as a preschool assistant back in the day, there is nothing quite like a house full of littles. But that right there is the problem I am having…they aren’t staying little long enough! Some days feel long, some days feel really long, and mommy needs a time out. But overall, in the grand scheme of

A Christian Postpartum Course That Every Expecting Mom Needs | Review

2018-08-03

I am 38 ½ weeks pregnant with our fourth child. We are so excited to meet this little one! With labor, delivery, and postpartum on the horizon, I went through my friend Angie’s Christian Postpartum Course. Angie was my doula for both Olive and Wyatt. We are hoping she can make it to this birth as well, however as she is also in her third trimester we are keeping those plans tentative. Angie has personally walked me through two very different postpartum journeys. Her expertise and passion for helping mothers during this crucial season has been an incredible blessing to me. As labor, delivery, and postpartum approach for me once again, I wanted to be proactive in preparing for this adventure. I just completed the

His Prayer For Me Last Night

2018-05-15

My heart was full of gratitude, yet as I lay exhausted in bed, my mind was overwhelmed. I exhaled a long breath and muttered about the messes made over the weekend that have me going into the week a little chaotic, the work we have
