Getting Our Hands Dirty

Have you ever felt a quiet longing—something pulling you toward something new? I know this feeling well. The last time, it led me to have another child. But now, with that chapter closed, the longing still lingers.

Motherhood has been a whirlwind of joy and exhaustion, but as the house grows quieter, a question settles in: What now? The love I’ve poured into raising babies is still there—so where do I put it?

Maybe this isn’t an ending but a beginning. A time to plant new seeds, to rediscover myself. Maybe, in peeling back the layers, I’ll find that what I’ve been searching for was me all along.

Scrubbing Between Your Toes

Matthew is gone on a business trip for the first time in…… Honestly, I can’t remember. He wanted everything to be all right when he was gone, so he was hustling and bustling by taking out the garbage bags, scheduling my car to get an oil change, and restocking our shelves in case we needed anything. Please keep in mind that I still had to take our garbage out the curb, which I have never done, and honestly didn’t know how to move the bins!

Not Now, Wanda!

Have you ever had a day that was just absolutely bat-sh$# crazy? You cry for no reason, you feel anxious for no reason, your mind is spinning, again… for no reason. Its like you can’t catch a break, let alone your breath. That is how today is going. I can’t seem to settle down and I am doing a banana dance every single minute.

What a Doozie!

We had three children. We were happy, we were almost to that sweet spot of being out of diapers and sleeping in, and the kids were recognizing when they were making a mess so they could clean it up by themselves… almost!
