About Me

  • About Me: I love God and worship Him above all else. I strive to please Him. I adore and respect my husband, John. Pinch me, I am married to John! I enjoy being a mom to Miles and Luke. They make me laugh daily. I hardly remember life before them, what did I do with all my free time. I enjoy blogging, writing, relationships, talking about weddings and babies. I spend most of my time being a mom: changing diapers, wiping noses, making meals, cleaning, doing laundry, kissing boo boos, playing make believe, teaching them about the world and just being silly with them. I can't wait to homeschool them!

  • Interests: Being authentic in my walk with God. What you see or read is what you get. I strive towards having peace, love, and joy in my home that only comes from a deep, real, and personal relationship with God. I love being a wife to the most amazing man in the world, John. Being a mom is an amazing challenge that shows me God's love for me. My days are mostly spent at home training my boys. We're homeschooling them and look foward to the years to come. My goal in life is to praise God in the sunshine and praise God in the rain. To trust Him even when I don't understand what is going on around me. I enjoy reading the bible and studing His love letter to us.
