The weather has been so wonky this winter! ❄ Warm, cold, rainy, sunny. Today was our first opportunity to play with her new sled. 🌨 Who else woke up to a winter wonderland today? ☃️

Sometimes, as in probably at least a few times a day, I'm really awful at being grateful for what I have and where I'm at. It's that inevitable cycle of constantly looking forward and wanting answers to my prayers the way I want them right now. I struggle so much with not being able to control every minute detail of how my life goes. Do you relate? I've never been a free spirit, fly by the seat of my pants type. The next year we are praying for big changes in our family. Trying for our second child, my husband is job hunting and changing careers and we are looking to buy our first home and start a small homestead. BIG changes that we are so anxious for and impatient for. This year I'm focusing on three words: wait, simple and gratitude. . I completed a study on Psalms 31-60 over the past month or so and a reoccurring theme presented itself. "Praise as if it is already done." Scripture teaches us that if God has promised it, it is as good as done. He wants us to be still and trust in Him. So here's to all of us being patient and trusting in His timing this year. 💞

We broke a record in Ohio today. It was 70° out! So refreshing to be able to spend time outdoors. It rained most of the day but thankfully it didn't bother Adaline one bit. She was all about pointing our the different puddles of "wa wa". Who else had fun outdoors today? 🌧🌧🌧

#throwbackthursday Anyone else have spring fever already? 😂🌱 I'm ready to plant some herbs and flowers and play outside all afternoon. 🌞🌷 I can't believe how much Adaline has changed since Spring! 💕

My sweet little sour patch girl. New blog post up on the site. Dare I share that I rarely tell my daughter, "no". Link to my site in bio. ☝️💜

Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Psalm 71:3

Have your children dealt with night terrors? What were some strategies you tried to help? . White Angelica is one of my favorite oils outside of the starter kit. 💙 The past week or so, Adaline has been waking up around midnight screaming and inconsolable. My husband and I are hypothesizing it's night terrors. I've seen many testimony from friends about using White Angelica (as well as Dream Catcher and Valor) to help with these sleep disturbances. So tonight, I will be diffusing Dream Catcher and applying White Angelica and Valor to my sweet girl as well as covering her in prayers. 🙏🏻💞

I was finally able to sneak a peak at some of the pictures I took on my Nikon of our day in Sedona last weekend. It's been a crazy, hectic week. Have you ever stumbled upon a picture of your child that just takes your breathe away? 💞 My goodness, I can't believe God blessed me with this child. Some days and nights seem hopelessly endless, but I am so, so grateful. 🏜

Merry Christmas a day late from my family to yours. ❤🎄 I'm looking forward to the slow down as the holidays wrap up, how about you? 💙
