Insomnia, why you gotta be so mean? 

It’s 2:34 am and I’m wide awake. I get waves of insomnia and I always wondered why? It usually comes right before a period. 🙄 or after I take my Zoloft. I’m about to go take me a Plexus Probio and that’ll help kick it. I usually get the best sleep when I do. I always use this time to clean, paint my fingernails, or read my devotional. Since I’m awake I figured I’d blog to see what you all do when you’re up in the wee hours of the night?

Run? Oh I thought you said rum....

This weekend I was looking at myself in the mirror in front of my daughter and I caught myself saying "I look fat, I should tone my tummy" then I hear my daughter (2 1/2) say "yeah, mom". Then I stopped myself dead in my tracks... Although taking care of yourself is important and its great to teach your kids to tighten and tone to maintain good posture and a healthy lifestyle so is the healthy balance of it. I want my daughter to grow up loving who she is regardless of where she is in that journey. If I didn't go through the 4th degree tear, post-partum depression/anxiety, flabby tummy, and hormonal changes - it would mean I wouldn't have had her! Trust the process, embrace those stretch marks, the wrinkles, the hormones, the challenges because it means you were brave enough to harvest life. You could be anything in this world, but you are the one your angels need. I hate how social media/we compare ourselves to others. Don't you know that thos...

Rise above!

I should probably give you some background on who I am and where I have come from. When I was 9 I started passing out. They ran test and finally determined I had bradycardia (slow heart arrhythmia).  They put a pacemaker in and it changed my life forever, my health is probably one of the main source of my anxiety and I never learned to cope with it until 4 years ago when I needed to rise above it. I am married to the most amazing husband. We have had struggles as we've grown up together. Trying to take on life. We've had multiple people live with us and we lived together a few years before getting married. there was never really a honeymoon stage. But through the hurdles of it all overcame those. In 2012 my husband had a dirt bike wreck and broke his collarbone. In 2013 I had a pacemaker replacement and while they were in there threading the lead in my artery punctured my lung and I got pneumothorax and a blood clot in my arm. Talk about my anxiety going through the...

Sit with Jesus..

  This morning my husband got up to go hunting. Typically I’d fall back asleep and wake when the kids do but I kept hearing in my head, sit with Jesus. My mother in law gifted me a devotional years ago called messy motherhood. I’ve picked it up and put it down so many times but that’s motherhood right? However I chose that as my baseline for this morning’s visit with God. And man does he NOT disappoint when he specifically calls you to sit with him immediately!  In this devotional Lysa talks about: “(Ephesians 4:22-24). The Greek word for "made new" is koino. One of its definitions is "uncommon." I wanted to be an uncommon calm in the midst of chaos and an example of peace for my kids in a world of pressure. For that to happen, I came up with a plan for us moms: Tell the world to wait.” In my overstimulated brain I often getting very tired and weary. It’s like there’s no escaping it. But I was reminded today that I am managing blessings and if I want to cultivate q...
