A few weeks ago I got to celebrate one of my best friends second baby to be, so we threw her a baby sprinkle! A "sprinkle" is a mini-version of a baby shower, that is generally thrown for a mommy-to-be who is having her second or third baby.
Dayna and I have been friends for about 10 years, and we have been through a lot together, but the most exciting has certainly been expecting our babies together! Dayna has a 1.5 year old daughter Luella, whom we just adore, and she is expecting a son in...
Do you have a love hate relationship with food? If you answered yes, I want to start by saying, I have been there; And chances are if you are in that place, you have also been on a diet in your lifetime.
Now, what if I told you it is possible to have a healthy relationship with food, and never go on a diet again?
I believe this is not only possible, but it is how God intended us to live. In fact, I believe God intended food to be enjoyable! Not only did He take the time to make different types...

As many of you know, I am just days away from expecting my first baby, which means I am in full blown nesting mode! Because we are having her in the month of June, I started to plan ahead for freezer meals that I would enjoy in the summer. Unfortunately, things like salads and fresh foods aren't good to make in advance or store in the freezer, however, there are plenty of options that are packed with summer fruits and veggies, and are great for warmer weather! That being said, if I were to...
Let’s talk yolks!
The kind of yolk I’m talking about though has nothing to do with eggs. The yolk I’m talking about is the kind the Lord uses to paint one of my favorite illustrations in scripture.
I absolutely love Matthew 11:28-30 when Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am...
My mom is truly one of the most amazing women I know. I know many of you can relate because let’s face it, moms give their lives for their children. The main reason that my mom is so special to me is because of her constant life of love that she has displayed to not only our family, but to everyone that crosses her path.
This life of love is displayed in many ways, but one that stands out the most to me is the way that she prays for our family. One of the greatest memories I have of my mom is...
Mornings - most people either love them or just flat detest them.
How about you? Do you love the break of dawn, or do you find morning to be a dreadful time, and getting up early a constant struggle?
In my own life, mornings were definitely best described by the latter of the two. I was NOT a morning person. As someone who was not a fan of the break of day, I found myself resenting the virtuous nature people tended to ascribe to those who were. I’d have thoughts like, “What is the deal with...
Do you know how to talk to God?
Seems a bit of an odd question doesn’t it? I find though that so many people struggle with this very thing. Many people find prayer – the gift of talking with God – to be unfamiliar and sometimes very uncomfortable.
I often hear from the people that I mentor that they really don’t “know how” to pray. They are almost looking for a formula for getting it “right.” Or, equally common is to hear people worrying that they’re praying for the “wrong things,” or feel...
What to Do When You Don't Feel Beautiful by Sarah Shaffer
I just want to feel skinny and pretty - recently, that was my honest thought.
Do you ever just want to feel “skinny”? Do you ever just want to “feel” pretty? Do you ever just want the struggle to subside and satisfaction with yourself to increase? Do you ever just want to look in the mirror and be pleased with what you see? If you answered yes to any of these, I understand. I’ve been working my way through that myself lately. I think it...
