Seven things I’ve learned from my social media fast (so far)
Hey there, friends! It's been about three weeks since I hit 'post' on my last post on Instagram and then signed off until April 1st. I promised to keep y'all updated via my blog, but the days quickly turned into weeks and I was enjoying my separation from social media (surprisingly) so much that I just couldn't bring myself to even open up my blog to write. Sorry about that, but the separation has been so good for my heart.First things first - why am I taking a social media break? I promised to ... View the Post
A proper ‘thank you’
When I look back over the past two years of my life I am completely overwhelmed by the amazing community of people - both near and far - that supported me and my family through prayer, acts of kindness, money, watching and protecting Kenzi, the giving of time and so much more! The cards you see above are all of the cards that were given to me and my family during some of our darkest days. I've said thank you to everyone already, but it just doesn't seem like enough - so I needed to ... View the Post
10 Things I Want My Children to Know
I just realized something - Kenzi is 3 1/2 years old. In May she'll be 4! She's so observant, it's one of the things I absolutely love about her.

I nearly died on multiple occasions and that has put so much into perspective... there is so much about life that I want Kenzi (and my future children) to know and learn from me. I want them to be instilled with a sense of ... View the Post
Things I wish I had done…
Looking back on my pregnancy with Quinn if there was one word I would have used to describe how I felt the entire time it would have been 'afraid'. We lost two babies very early prior to Quinn, and so when week eight, nine, ten passed... to say we were scared to announce my pregnancy was an understatement. However there was something deep in my bones that told me we needed prayer. We needed the support of our family, friends and community. Shortly after announcing my pregnancy I started ...

Glitter + Cheer = Happy New Year!
Friends, we made it. The last day of 2018 is officially here, and it’s so very sweet. This year has been one of the biggest years in my life, and when I look back on the past 365 days I can't help but be joyful. 2017 was one of the darkest years of my life and 2018 has been the most restorative. Even though I didn't get my prosthetics and walk again this year, closing the chapter of 2018 feels big. It is worth celebrating. This year was the year I finally came home from ... View the Post
