Welcome To My Blog!
Today is officially the day I start my blog journey and I am so excited! I can’t emphasize enough how passionate I am about all things motherhood - the beauty, joy, peace, creativity, sanctification and love that comes with being a wife, homemaker and raising littles. Before I begin explaining why I’m starting this in the first place, I wanted to thank you all for being here - for reading my posts and supporting my journey. Whether this impacts 1 person, or 1000 people, my prayer is that every post you read, every helpful tip you practice and every scripture shared that you would find yourself growing closer to Christ and being shaped into the incredible woman God has called you to be.
Why I’m starting this blog:
I became a mom for the first time in June of 2023 and quickly found that I adored motherhood. I find it absolutely incredible that we get to create eternal beings that are made in His image! I’m a 27 year old stay-at-home mom raising my (almost) 3 year old son named Micah and 4 month old daughter Rosalie. Being a mom is such a beautiful gift, but our journey hasn’t been easy. After experiencing an early pregnancy loss, we found out a few months later that I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. While on the road to healing, I felt led to share my story online and was shocked to see how many messages I received of women who were going through something very similar. I’ve had the opportunity to pray for many others online, in my community and in the streets who struggled with infertility and loss.
Through facing hardship and seeing the Lord redeem it in such miraculous ways (more on that soon), my passion for motherhood grew even more and I began having this burning inside of me to help others by bringing them along this journey with me. Which leads me to today, starting this blog.
Wherever you’re at in your journey, my prayer is that this would be a place of encouragement, hope and growth.
One last note… As I get ready to hit publish, I wanted to share a quick insight to my day. After being up every two hours last night to breastfeed and an early wake up call, my toddler skipped his nap which then kept my daughter up all day. Getting both to bed tonight was brutal - two overly tired children who didn’t want to sleep. I debated if I was still going to launch this today because it’s late and it felt a bit incomplete and messy. Then, I realized something… isn’t that the point of this blog? Not aiming for perfection, but focusing on a little bit of progress each day?
Thanks for being here and excited for you to join the journey with me.
Sincerely, a tired mom with a very full heart.
