I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here! Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.

I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space.

I feel like it’s been FOREVER since I’ve written a blog, but I have to admit…it felt amazing to take time off! Being a new mom is such an adventure. Over the past month, I’ve been pooped on, peed on and spit up on more times than I can count. There are days where I […]
