During the last three weeks I’ve lived in the constant tension of ‘things could be so much worse- we’re doing great!’ AND ‘if parenting required a license, mine would be revoked.’ I’ve been frustrated by the constant up and down of this process (i thrive with consistency) but I’ve realized this- it’s both! I do feel thankful, I know it could be worse, I am soaking up all these moments but some days- I feel bat-crap-crazy and I wonder if I’ll make it to bedtime & that’s ok- it can be BOTH! Anyways- my prayer lately has been ‘God, I want to thrive in this season, but I feel like a fish out of water’... His response?.... ‘You’re not out of water, you’ve just left the fishbowl’ 🤯🤯 Many of us are out of our quiet, comfortable norm- it’s new, scary & different- for many of us- everything we’ve known changed almost suddenly & we’re in unchartered waters- I know you’re scared, so am I but we’re going to be ok. When I took this picture my wall art reminded me that my desire is to have trust without boarders, that I would walk upon the water WHEREVER He would lead me. Sometimes He leads us into the unknown, the unchartered, the unthinkable yet- He’s with us, every moment. I really believe that although none of this is good, God will work it together for good. So here’s to life out of the fishbowl- deep, fresh, unchartered waters where the waves still know His name. (ps- shout out to whoever read this really long post till the end😜)

I got a tub of FRESH donuts & fresh lemonade- every preggos dream! If you haven’t already, check out the @cinnabombtruck on Main Street. So good, so fresh, so clean & they take cards/ Apple Pay but no cash so there’s no unnecessary transfer of germs. #checkthemout #eatlocal

Meet Rylee Rose who apparently grew up while no one was watching.... #RyleeRose #MiddleLittle #GirlMom

When you’ve been in the house TOO long- you get dressed & ready just to take a ride in the car!! Anyone else?? I’ve heard two different ‘stay at home hacks’ - one momma said, don’t bother getting dressed, it’s a waste of time & laundry, another said- get up and dressed everyday, it makes all the difference! Which are you?! #ToBeDressed #OrNotToBeDressed #ThatIsTheQuestion So who’s right?!?
