Hey, you, the strong one. Yes, I’m talking to you. Have you had a moment to breathe lately? I mean, really stop and take a moment for yourself? #BeStill
Joy
We had a jam-packed weekend and a long day yesterday at our youngest child’s chemo appointment. Top it off with a migraine that lasted for almost three days, and it was nearly an unbearable trip riding in the car for eight hours. I woke up not hurting this morning. YAY! I snuck into the living […]
One of those days
We had a break in our Wisdom Wednesday guest authors today, so I wanted to share with you a new blog series that is starting this week and will take place on Tuesdays. Monday was our son’s 100th week in our third phase of cancer treatment. In case you are unfamiliar with our story and […]
Christmas Traditions
This year has been a roller coaster of emotions. As most of you already know and follow our story, our youngest son was diagnosed with Leukemia right after Christmas last year. He is in Remission and while we are so thankful for that, we still have a year and a half left of treatments. We […]
#GabeStrong Continuation Week 14
{106 weeks to go} We had a photo shoot at St. Jude this morning for them to possibly use for fundraising! Gabe was excited until he had to put on a hoodie that they wanted him to wear and then he refused to get his picture made by himself. 🙄 We ended up getting a […]

#GabeStrong: Day 7-10
I know everyone is waiting for an update on Gabe, so I apologize for the delay. I could come up with lots of reasons why I haven’t updated, but the truth is:
15 Things I Never Knew About Being a Mom
When Jacob and I first got married, ( I was 19) I wanted to have kids right away. He wanted to wait a couple of years, so we could be “just us” for awhile. At the time, I rolled my eyes, but looking back now, he was right. (don’t tell him I said that) We […]
Next! Psalm 58
One of the things that I love about the book of Psalms is the honest human emotion that comes from it. David did not hold back his thoughts or feelings. In fact, there are several times when I cringe when I read a few chapters; not because I’m ashamed of reading it, but that I’ve […]
shaky, queasy, and slightly off balance
I’ve never been a fan of change. It has the power to turn your world upside down and dangle you from your feet, toss you around, and throw you back down. For the past three years I’ve experienced this to the point that at times I was left feeling shaky, queasy, and off balance. Did […]
