Welcome!

 

Hey, writers! I'm curious: 1.) What computer program do you use to write/store your documents? 2.) What tabs do you typically keep open while writing? 😜 . Find my answer in the comments.... ⬇️ . . . . 📸: @pixabay #write31days #writinglife #writerslife #writinginspiration #bloggersofig #bloggersofinstagram #mommyblogger #mommyblog #christianbloggers #christianblog #writersgonnawrite #hopewriters #hopespreaders #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writing #writer #amwriting #amblogging #bloggermom #writingcommunity #justkeepwriting #clevelandblog #clevelandblogger #ohioblog #ohioblogger #ohiobloggers
I scheduled my first post today. Like, actually planned/worked ahead for once in my life. Now I feel like I have officially arrived as a blogger. 🎉😂 Whatever that means. . Also, my first newsletter is set to go out next week. Have you subscribed yet? If not, it's easy! Link in profile. 🖤
Y'all, I don't know if it's just the pungent aroma of nostalgia or a dormant desire for the velour jogging suits of my youth to make a comeback, but I am LOVING this new #crushedvelvet clothing trend. 👌🏻😍 #80skid #90skid #itwasallgood #targetdoesitagain
When I’m working on a writing project (like I am at the moment), I can become consumed, making it a priority over everything else. Sometimes it requires a lot of effort to stop, switch gears, and step away for a while. It’s easy to start seeing the kids and the demands of life as a hindrance instead of a blessing, a distraction instead of the main thing. . If I’m more concerned with the story I’m writing than the story I’m living, I get frustrated when the kids interrupt my process to tell me something great about their day. When the baby toddles over with an excited “momma! mommeeee!” and gives my legs a squeeze, I brush off the tender display of one-year-old love. I can squander an opportunity to color with my daughter or to build community around our dinner table. I can get so fixated on creating for others that I miss the life-giving moments in front of my own face. I know this because it's exactly what I did tonight. . So, I'm #preachingtomyownheart when I say, don’t be so preoccupied with what “might be” that you miss the beautiful story in front of you right now. The pages of the most important stories only flip forward.
When you never get coffee this pretty, it requires a picture. 📸👌🏻☕️🍂
I smell fall. 🍂 #heyletswalktoschool #fortheloveofteal

Thanks for stopping by!

Sit down with a cup of coffee and join me as I reflect on life and motherhood, wrestle with what it looks like to follow Jesus in the practical everyday, seek His perspective on truly loving others, struggle through this thing called parenting, and imperfectly aim to give Him all the glory.
