Father’s Day is just a couple of weeks away, and it’s now our turn to show our appreciation for those wonderful men in our lives! My husband would say not to get him anything for Father’s Day, one because he is an experience kind of guy, but also he is incredibly selfless and doesn’t like me spending on him! But of course I love picking out gifts for him, although he isn’t always the easiest to shop for! SO, I put together this list of over 20 gift ideas (95% are Amazon prime too!) in case you need some ideas of your own! For the reader: I Will Teach You…

A Roblox Obby Themed Birthday Party
If you have have a child in elementary to middle school, maybe even older, you probably have heard of Roblox. Is it just me or is it a bit of a craze right now?? If you haven’t heard of it, it’s essentially a gaming app, and within it there are all different kinds of games kids can play; some are simple and silly, while some are more complex. My son likes to play games in Roblox like hide and seek, the floor is lava, and the Roblox version of an obstacle course: “obbys”. When we were trying to decide what to do for his birthday he said he wanted a…

New Baby Essentials
If you saw my last blog post (or follow along with me on social media) then you know we are expecting baby number 3 in late September! It’s gotten me thinking about the essentials we really need, and what we have used and loved with our current two kids! I figured I would compile them into a post for you guys in case you were interested. Below is my list which includes links for all of the products [Links are gray text]! (All my own opinion, nothing is affiliate.) 1. Car seat with a base – Obviously a necessity is an infant car seat. Most of them come with a…

Our Family is Growing!
If you haven’t seen it on social media yet, we have some big news! We are expecting baby number 3 at the end of September/beginning of October 2019! We are so excited!! You may remember we addressed this question in an older Q+A post, and even then we were still unsure. I figured I would share what changed and how we decided to go for having a 3rd baby. Having a third baby was always something I thought I wanted, but also wasn’t sure if I could handle it! Our two kids have big personalities in different ways, and I also wanted to think about what was best for them.…

The Nicky Pearson Of The Bible
It’s the last day of January and WOW it has felt like the never ending month. One of my goals for the new year was having daily time with God, and I am happy to say I have been thoroughly enjoying my early morning time to read the bible, pray and just be in God’s presence before my day begins. So, I am going to close out this month by sharing a relatable passage of scripture that has been wrecking me for a couple of weeks. I actually just shared it with my husband earlier today. I have been reading about King David in 1 & 2 Samuel for at…

Pantry Peek
Hey guys! I hope your January has been off to a great start. I don’t know where you live, but it has been FRIGID in CT. Perfect weather for sipping fresh homemade hot chocolate and blanket cuddles, which is basically my favorite thing about winter. ☺️ A couple of weeks ago I shared the tools and resources I use for working out at home. This week I am keeping with my 2019 goals theme and sharing the pantry staples I keep on hand to cook clean and healthy meals for my family. I shop at Trader Joe’s for the most part, but you can find all of these things at…

Why I Prefer Working Out At Home
Some may say I am crazy for preferring to work out at home, but I really do! Obviously the energy of a class and motivation of a trainer or instructor is awesome, and you can’t get that at home, but here are the reasons I love home workouts right now: 1. Free resources. There are a plethora of resources through apps, social media, and online sources that provide incredible workouts for free or at an incredibly affordable price. I have had gym memberships, and I always end up paying and not going. I’d rather pay a one time fee for an app or program and use it at my own…

2019: New Year, New Goals
Happy New Year, friends! I don’t always do this, but this year I decided to pray about what the theme of 2019 would be, and what word God would have me focus on as the year begins. The word I kept seeing over and over again in my mind, and literally in random places everywhere is the word “new”. A friend of mine sent me this scripture and it has been life to me like never before: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in…

My Book List
Hey guys! This time of year is one where I naturally slow down, especially after Christmas. I think it’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book and cup of coffee, and fill ourselves up as we prepare for a new year to begin. I am honestly not much of a fiction reader; I’ve always been drawn to non-fiction and gleaning wisdom from an author’s real life experience. So, today I am going to be sharing some books I’ve recently read, am currently reading, and want to read! If you have any recommendations for me, even if they’re a fiction must read, please comment and let me know!…

God Isn’t Generic (pt. II)
If you read part 1 of this topic, “God Isn’t Generic”, you may remember I left off at a point in our story where we were praying for Jackson’s arm to be miraculously healed to prevent a 3rd and 4th surgery. (You can clink the link to catch up and read part 1 above!) I had mentioned that God began highlighting James 1 where he talks about counting it all joy when you encounter various trials, and I had asked Him, “You don’t have joy that Jackson’s arm is broken God, so what exactly is it that I am supposed to be taking joy in?…What am I supposed to be…
