To all the women out there who have been told they

To all the women out there who have been told they are too emotional, To all the women out there who feel like a walking contradiction, To all the women out there who have been told they are too much, I hope you are.
I hope to have too many goals.
I hope you have too many ideas.
I hope you have too much work ethic.
I hope you have too much of a vision. You are allowed to be beautiful and intelligent, confident and humble, and strong and soft. You’re allowed to like football and also cry during your favorite show. You’re allowed to be so you and be so loved. If nobody has told you today, I’m here to do it. #meetthefishpaws #communityovercompetition #bloggerlife #goals #pursuepretty #prettylittlesquares #graceupongrace #blessed #blogger #thatsdarling #inbeautyandchaos #shedelights #deeplyrooted #bedeeplyrooted #faithoverfear #womensupportingwomen #motherhoodrising #uniteinmotherhood #acupofmotherhood #liveauthentic #stayandwander #womeninspiringwomen #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #lovewhatmatters #storytellingmama #nolabelsjustfamily #shereadstruth #womenempowerment #womenownedbusiness

“They imagine your home being a toxic environmen

“They imagine your home being a toxic environment. They imagine your children wanting nothing to do with you. The reality is, for the first 24 hours, we mostly talked about how much she loves you.” I got the coolest opportunity to pour my heart out in words in an open letter to the biological mamas out there!

Top 5 coolest thing I have ever been a part of was

Top 5 coolest thing I have ever been a part of was getting to baptize this girl last week. It honestly refueled my soul. I’ve been lucky enough to have a pretty exciting life, but this ranks up there. @mooreizabel , it’s so impressive to see how steadfast you are in your beliefs and how you carry that out daily with your love for people. I can’t explain how much of an honor it was to be in that tub with you. Your faith, my friend, is going to move mountains. I promise you this generation is made up of good people. Love on them, spend time with them, and learn from them because it will make powerful things happen. 10/10 would recommend. #meethefishpaws #graceupongrace #blessed #blogger #thatsdarling #inbeautyandchaos #faithwalk #deeplyrooted #christiancommunity #dailydevotionals #chooselovely #christianblog #shedelights #biblestudies #christianity #faithoverfear #faithblog #christianinfluencer #wordbeforeworld #faith #belovedlife #christianliving #shereadstruth #bedeeplyrooted #christianblogger #faithblogger #discoverunder5k #communityovercompetition #womensupportingwomen #flashesofdelight

I notice every time I have to pee.
I notice every headache.
I notice how hungry I get.
I notice every cramp,
every tingle,
every ache
every tiny little thing.
I notice it all. It’s so strange how aware you become to every little thing that happens with your body when you’re walking through an infertility journey. Every time I feel something that feels strange or new, which I may have not even noticed 6 months ago, I automatically get in my feelings and try to figure out “what it means”. It’s a dang rollercoaster.
Some days are easier, some days are hard.
Either way, God is always good. Whew, this journey is not for the faint of heart. #communityovercompetition #pursuepretty #graceupongrace #blessed #blogger #shereadstruth #bedeeplyrooted #faithoverfear #inbeautyandchaos #shedelights #womensupportingwomen #stayandwander #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #meetthefishpaws #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #iui #iuijourney #iuisuccess #infertility #infertilityawareness #infertilitysucks #infertilitywarrior #infertilityjourney #fertilitysupport #fertility #fertilityjourney #fertilitytreatment #godisgood

I know it’s hard mama. I know some days it’s

I know it’s hard mama. I know some days it’s hard to get out of bed.
I know some days there’s just too much housework.
I know some days you just don’t have the energy to cook another meal.
I know some days you wonder how you’re going to survive.
I know some days it’s hard to take care of yourself, let alone littles.
I know some days your world seems so tiny. It’s easy to become overwhelmed. I see you because I am you. But you want to know something? While you feel unworthy and your world seems so small, to your kids, you are THE ENTIRE WORLD. Everything about you is perfect.
And everything revolves around you. You are their home,
Their comfort,
Their safe haven,
Their caregiver.
You are their everything.
And absolutely nothing else matters. I hope that even on your worst days, that you remember how incredible perfect you are to them. #graceupongrace #inbeautyandchaos #gritandvirtue #shedelights #faithoverfear #ohheymama #womensupportingwomen #motherhoodrising #fostermom #fostercare #thisisfostercare #fostercareawareness #storytellingmama #honestmotherhood #momblogger #momlife #childhoodunplugged #communityovercompetition #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #meetthefishpaws #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #fostertoadopt #momsofinstagram #momssupportingmoms #godisgoodallthetime #familytime #fostercareadoption #momlifeisthebestlife

410 days. 410 days since our families have been

410 days. 410 days since our families have been connected as one big unconventional family. Yes, families. When we decided to foster, we didn’t just commit to the children that would be walking through our home. Nope. We committed to the whole crew. So what is not pictured here is a mom, dad, and two sisters who we love deeply and will have as a part of our family for the rest of our lives no matter how this story goes. 410 days of walking through hurt, trauma and deep pain together. 410 days of offering each other the most grace possible. 410 days of being so connected by the worst circumstances. 410 days of loving each other through the hardest of conditions and thanking the lord for every single day. 410 days together and counting. #meetthefishpaws #communityovercompetition #pursuepretty #graceupongrace #thatsdarling #chooselovely #christianblogger #belovedlife #inbeautyandchaos #ohheymama #womensupportingwomen #motherhoodrising #thisisus #thisismotherhood #acupofmotherhood #lifeasamama #motherhoodunplugged #storytellingmama #fostermom #thisisfostercare #bettertogether #lovemakesafamily #fosterparents #fostercareawareness #fosterthefamily #loveintentionally #supporteachother #fostercare #discoverunder10k #blogger

Ok, I think I’m ready. (Clears throat) In the

Ok, I think I’m ready. (Clears throat) In the last 6 months, I have: -been walking through a pandemic
-taught the girls school from home
-gotten seasons of our lives cancelled
-found out I have a tumor on my ovaries
-stepped away from my job
-went back to school full time
-found out either the word tumor was a bit much or Jesus shrunk that ish
-found out we have infertility struggles
-mentally struggled with the guilt I’ve felt for wanting biological kids
-mentally struggled with how people “might” think our infertility struggles change our foster mission (It doesn’t)
-gotten the news of a failed IUI
-walked through 2 court cases for the girls
-Been trying time be super intentional with time as the girls started school again
-walked with our youngest as she has had surgery But you know what is wild? What’s wild is that I have seen God’s handwriting over every single bit of this year. I have seen it in the overabundance amount of Grace he is offering me as I question his every move. I’ve seen it in the responses from friends after I respond to several week old text messages. I see it in the girls every time they pause mid-sentence to tell me they love me. I’ve seen it in the 50+ inbox messages I have received from people checking in on me when I ghosted this last May because everything felt so heavy. I have seen it when we got to celebrate my nieces and nephews birthdays, seen my sister step so gracefully into motherhood, and all the new babies born in my life. I have seen it in the way the girl’s mom always reaches out on the days I need someone to check in. This life has so many seasons, this one just happens to be a mess- a beautiful, intentional mess. I don’t understand everything right now, but I am working on being ok with that if it is for his glory. I promise so share more intentionally. Thanks for sticking with me. #meetthefishpaws #fostercare #thisisfostercare #iui #infertility #infertilitysucks #shereadstruth #givemejesus #acupofmotherhood #bedeeplyrooted #communityovercompetition #goals #pursuepretty #graceupongrace #thatsdarling #blogger #shedelights #womensupportingwomen #ohheymama #motherhoodrising #motherhood #fost
