This fall Adaline is going to be a big sister to a little mister. 👶💙 Baby Stockton number 2 is a BOY! 💙

How many of you prefer to do something instead of give up something during Lent? 🤚 Although, I'm pretty sure all of us are sacrificing this Lent due to quarantines. ☺ I made a goal in November, to read the entire Bible within a year. So far I am right on track, but there were many days I pushed my daily reading until the next day due to tiredness, etc. YET, I'd lay in bed and scroll Facebook for 15 minutes at night. 🤦‍♀️ Obviously this could have been my time furthering my relationship with the Word. So, this Lent, I made a decision to read every single day. I'm happy to say, all but one day, I have kept to my goal. 🙌 I now look forward to this so much! Thus far my favorite book has been Romans. I appreciate how everything is clearly written, my mom brain needs that. 😂 What have you given up or added to your day this season? 💛

What is everyone doing to keep themselves creating and mindful during this unique time? I decided to play around with some oil blends and pair them with dried flowers. 🌼🌺🌷🏵 Here are the blends I came up with! In order from left to right. 1. Chamomile buds paired with White Angelica and Orange 🍊 CALM 2. Rose buds paired with Patchouli and Bergamot 🌷 ZEN 3. Lavendar buds paired with Roman Chamomile and Orange 🍊 SLEEP 4. Calendula buds paired with Cypress and Frankincense 🏵 RELAX

This girls emotions have been a roller coaster today. Not proud to say, I havent kept mine in check well today either. Some days just leave you feeling emotionally weary. I hope you never feel that you are alone in those feelings. Today is one of those for me. I am however, grateful we were able to get some vitamin D and a long walk outside. It certainly helped with both our emotions. 🌞🌞

Springtime I love you. 💚🌺 There is something so refreshing and uplifting about this time of year. Seeing nature slowly wake from its slumber and remind us all how beautiful it is to start fresh. 🌱 Every year is slipping by faster and faster. I pray we all use this time where we've been forced to slow down to pause and soak in the beauty around us. ❤

How are y'all doing with this quarantine. I'll be honest, I've been irritable and cranky. I think it has more to do with pregnancy hormones than the actual quarantine, but 🤷‍♀️. The weather has been cool and rainy which is a bummer. Thankfully starting this afternoon it should dry up and warm up for a few days. 🌤 Looking forward to getting outside (in our yard and maybe some hiking trails) and soaking in some vitamin D. What activities have saved your sanity?

Toddlers and night terrors. 😥 When we arrived home from our trip to Arizona, Adaline was having night terrors almost every night. It was awful and makes you feel completely helpless. 😣 This went on for weeks. I did a little digging and found these two oils are great for supporting BIG emotions. I put 10 drops each in this roller and roll on her chest nightly. Since starting this in mid January we have only had ONE night terror! 🙏 She has also been sleeping more soundly. I almost hate to say it out loud but she's only been waking once per night (as opposed to 3 or 4) except a few random nights here and there. 🙌 We also have been saying this verse at the start of our nightly prayers, Psalm 4:8. It is a wonderful foundation to letting go of worry before sleep. ❤

It's #NationalPuppyDay ❤ These girls put up with a lot these days. A tyrannical toddler and a hormonal and emotional mother. 😂🤰 Yet they still let us put duckies on their heads. We love them so much and couldn't imagine our little family without them. 🥰🐶🐶

Growing our little family again. Two more paws added to the pack. Due date October 6th. ❤🤰
