A close family friend inspired me this morning with this idea as she has prayed daily at 10am each day for our military since my son left 4 years ago for the Navy and it’s been heavy on my heart today with everything going on, so I couldn’t not share it. 🤍

Will you join us in praying for our military every day at 10:00am?

Set a daily reminder on your phone or watch for the month of March — and wherever you are, whatever you are doing, just pause and whisper a quick prayer. For protection. For strength. For courage. For peace. For the families waiting back home.

It doesn’t have to be long or fancy. Just faithful.

If you’re in, drop a 🇺🇸 or a ❤️ so we know we’re standing together at 10am.

STOP. 😂😂😂

N. was hitting his baseball cleats together to knock the clay off. ⚾️👟

Blink over here thinking a pioneer child is starting a homestead, like he is on Little House on the Prairie: Front Porch Edition.

Nope, just a boy aggressively clapping muddy cleats so I don’t lose my mind over red clay in my car.

The confidence this update has to just declare poultry-based activities is unmatched.

I need to know immediately — what is the most dramatic, completely inaccurate thing your camera has accused your family of doing lately?

Because apparently we are one notification away from:
“Small villager preparing livestock for winter.” 🐔

Conversations with my child be like:

M: “Dare me to break my neck?”

Me: “Absolutely not. We have a busy weekend and I do NOT have time to pencil in a neck-breaking. I just meal planned. I thawed meat. We are not rescheduling all of that for the ER.”

M: “Well just watch me do a cartwheel then 🤸‍♀️”

Motherhood is just 24/7 risk management with snacks.

When your little one has hand surgery… and mama copes with creativity. 🎨💗

This cast got the full glow-up treatment in our house because if we’re walking through recovery, we’re doing it with a little fun. And yes — it’s a full-on Mrs. Rachel inspired design. 💙💗 (If you know, you know.)

Honestly, I might have found my newest creative outlet: Cast Couture for tiny patients. 😅

Drop a 🎀 if your house has ever had Mrs. Rachel playing in the background.
And tell me — what theme would you pick for a recovery glow-up?

Follow along for more real-life mom moments, creativity in the chaos, and finding joy even in the hard days. 💛

As I sit scrolling the photos on my phone and sipping coffee waiting for kids to wake, there’s something powerful about this picture that was sent to me recently after practice.

A table full of hungry teenage boys. Appetizers getting cold. Laughter paused. Heads bowed. Hands clasped together with each other.

In a world that tells them to be loud, tough, distracted, and anything but still… they chose to stop and pray.

This isn’t just a dinner.
This is the next generation of prayer warriors.

Young men who aren’t ashamed to bow their heads in a restaurant. Young men who know where their strength comes from. Young men who understand that gratitude isn’t weakness — it’s worship.

They may look like ordinary teens in hoodies and ball caps… but heaven sees future leaders. Future husbands. Future fathers. Future men of God who will stand firm when the world shakes.

This is what youth on fire for Christ looks like.
Not perfection. Not performance.
Just hearts surrendered — even over hot wings and fries.

And if this is the next generation?
I have so much hope. ❤️🙏

Raising vintage TV enthusiasts & independent thinkers over here.

Bold. Patriotic. Slightly unhinged.

10/10 commitment to the bit. I can’t even be mad. 😂

Tell me why this plain ol’ hard cast turned into my next craft project. 💁🏻‍♀️✨

When the hospital said we could wrap it in medical cohesive tape to help keep it clean… my brain said, “Say less.” And here we are. A little color, a few bows, and suddenly this cast has ✨personality✨.

Because if we’re going to rock a cast for a few weeks, we might as well make it cute, right? 🎀💚

Turning lemons into lemonade… or at least into a bow-covered arm cast. 💕

Okay but can we just normalize the fact that selling your large family kids’ outgrown stuff is basically a part-time job? 😂

I promise I blinked and everyone grew two inches and decided pants are now “high waters.” So here I am — sorting, folding, inspecting knees like a detective, and listing it all before someone spills applesauce on the last clean thing.

And listen… reseller’s tape? That’s the equivalent of a seamstress’s fabric scissors. ✂️ You don’t touch it. You don’t borrow it. You don’t even look at it wrong. It is sacred. It is precise. It has a PURPOSE.
