I was so thankful for all the help that was offered to me while I was pregnant with Cameron. Friends and family and people I didn’t even know sent boxes of baby clothes and letters of encouragement. Having a baby has the simultaneous effect of making one feel so frightened and alone and yet laden…

Searching for Words
Becoming a mother is a wonderful thing. All of a sudden a sweet new life creates an abundance of love that colours life from that moment on. Wide eyes, full smiles, bubbly giggles. Helping, teaching, exploring the world through fresh eyes. Being a mother is wonderful. It can also be soul-crushing. Despite filling our lives…

Ragamuffin
There is still one thing that I have yet to get used to about being a Mom. It seems as though I am completely unable to dress this new body of mine. You wouldn’t know it by looking in my closet or on my bedroom floor (I will NOT post a picture for fear of…
I Knew You
This verse has been so important to me in this last week (and again a few months ago). There is very little comfort in losing a pregnancy, but the knowledge that someone loves my baby(ies) as much, if not more than I do gives me some peace. I am picturing Jesus cradling my children in his arms….
Thankful Thursday: March Edition
Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again. Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start….
Tied Down
God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him…
Birthday (Week) Month! Icing on Top
Birthday Month Part One: Party Planning Birthday Month Part Three: Floating On Air I have never been a huge cake lover. White and chocolate cake? How mediocre. How blah.

iPhoneography: Commuting
We’re currently in the middle of Apocalypse Daycare which has brought with it high temperatures, runny noses, coughs, serious baby malaise, and lots of sleepy snuggles. (Can someone please remind me why daycare is so awesome?). While all of this has been going on, my maternity leave ended and I went back to work. I am writing…
