OK. After time and thought and a year of having a baby, I’ve put this together in hopes it can be of help to you preparing for your baby!! There are SO many things out there it can be really overwhelming, so I just want this to be useful to you and take some stress away. I’ve got friends having babies and asking what I recommend and I am passionate about this ha! When my husband and I were looking at baby gear, our thought process was: “We want the minimal amount of things without making this harder than it has to be.” So…I guess my baby product motto is… “Minimal but comfortable.” Now one th ..read more

Somehow our tiny, itty bitty baby is a whole year old. And somehow its taken me a whole year to talk about him on here and post photos of the day he was born! I sat down with the intentions of posting multiple times and was just overcome by emotion from my baby growing. But here I am on his first birthday feeling good and just so incredibly proud and happy. Feeling thankful for a whole year with him. The day he was born was incredible. I would live it over and over again if I could. His due date was October 24th, my mother-in-law’s birthday (we have LOTS of October birthdays in our family- a ..read more

There are two other posts I’ve been working on and wanted to post before this one (it bothers me to not have them in chronological order ha!) but I really want you guys to have the chance to find some Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals! When buying for a baby it can sure add up, so hoping you can snag some things on sale! Ok one thing to know about me before reading this- I’m kind of picky. I really like to research things and enjoy reading about different options before I buy something. I research things a lot haha. So a decent amount of thought and searching and reading went into these ..read more

Favorite Maternity Pieces

It is absolutely crazy to me that I am 31 weeks pregnant! That second trimester absolutely few by. It has been the sweetest and wildest thing watching my belly grow. With it growing, I’ve been having to figure out how to dress this new body of mine, which has been fun but also a little tricky/ frustrating at times. I just wanted to write a post and share what I’ve found helpful for dressing myself while pregnant and the pieces I’ve been loving. Obviously my body’s been changing and definitely looks different than it did 8 months ago. I am soooo grateful to be pregnant and truly have bee ..read more

My Baby Shower

You guys. Some precious friends and family members threw a shower for us on Saturday and goodness this little guy is already so, so loved. I am literally tearing up typing this! Last week was very “baby-oriented” as we ordered nursery things, planned, and then had a 4D ultrasound at my 30 week appointment. The ultrasound was so clear it was absolutely mind-blowing. I’ll probably hang on to those pictures for now, but just so you know he is already looking like a definite mix of me and John Luke ha…its kind of comical. Throughout the entire day I just kept looking at the pictures and teared ..read more

There is just something special about the mornings to me! I’m a morning person like my dad and am glad I inherited that from him ha. I just LOVE mornings. One of my absolute favorite things in life is when John Luke and I are sitting at the table in the morning with our coffee, reading our Bibles, and talking. If we get a cool morning and can be outside- even better! We bought this little fire pit with my graduation money and have loved it! Between being out at camp and it being HOT in Louisiana, we haven’t used it a ton, but I am so looking forward to the fall nights out here. I can j ..read more

We’ve been working out at Camp Chyoca for a month now! This was our first “weekend” (mmm 36 hours) off and I am feeling so full and grateful. I totally see why God commands us to rest. We NEED it. Sabbath is so dang important. During the camp months we do it as best we can, but after camp I really look forward to setting something into place that our family can practice and do each week. Our friends the Bethkes talk about it a lot on their instagrams and podcast, and John Mark Comer talks about it in his book Garden City if you want to learn more about what that can look like. I personally ..read more

21 Week Bump

John Luke and I had nearly 24 hours off from camp so after spending the morning at one of my best friend’s baby showers (!!!) my request was we spend at least an hour at his grandmothers pool that is right behind our house. We got a few pictures of this growing bump while we were there. It’s funny I actually rarely (never) wore bikinis before I was pregnant, but lately that’s all I wear. I really want a tan stomach now more than ever haha. I feel like little guy had QUITE the growth spurt just in the past few days! I literally took a picture of my belly last Monday morning and sent it ..read more

So I finished classes in December but I technically didn’t graduate until May…however my diploma came in the mail today so I think that finally makes things official! I’ve been out at camp all week but ran home for the afternoon. I grabbed the packages off our front steps and as I realized I was opening my diploma I started to cry. It seemed so crazy seeing my name printed on it. Honestly I feel so proud to have graduated college. I feel grateful for the opportunity I had to further my education. I feel super thankful to have had the chance to study at Liberty University and for the sweet ..read more
