Very early on in my pregnancy with Quinn I had cof

Very early on in my pregnancy with Quinn I had coffee with a new friend I’d met over social media who happened to also be a trained sleep consultant. She so sweetly offered help if I needed it with Cosette, but the truth is I didn’t. ⁣
⁣
Coco was a great sleeper and all of my previous experience in sleep training proved to work just as I had hoped and expected.⁣
⁣
I fell in love with the process of sleep training over 13 years ago when Kate was a baby…after a friend encouraged me to read a book I originally refused to open. ⁣
⁣
Since reading that book, I had successfully trained every one of my kids. I would have even told you I enjoyed it! And through the years I have had the honor of helping dozens of other mamas do the same!⁣
⁣
But then came baby 7. And I have to share, even with a track record of training six other kids to sleep train, I needed help with our sweet Quinn. I just couldn’t figure out what was off. ⁣
⁣
Lack of sleep impacts every part of life. It compounds every challenging situation, infiltrates every relationship and heightens every emotion. And babies are all different! ⁣
⁣
But asking for help is sometimes such a hard thing to do isn’t it? It’s humbling to raise the white flag and admit we don’t have all of the answers. I couldn’t do it on my own and I knew I couldn’t let the “I should know better” lie run rampant.⁣
⁣
Having another set of eyes, someone to ask specific questions, to help troubleshoot, to comb through all of the routines and little things that were feeding into Quinn’s bad sleep habits was an absolute God send. ⁣
⁣
Before long my mixed up puzzle began to become a clearer picture and sweet Quinn has been sleeping so well ever since!⁣
⁣
Here’s the thing, we aren’t meant to live life alone. We aren’t expected to be mamas who know everything all of the time. WE NEED ONE ANOTHER. And if you’re struggling to get your little one to sleep can I please refer you to my sweet friend’s company, @sleeplittlelamb , a group of amazing sleep training professionals who have the biggest hearts on the planet to get you the rest you so desperately need? I promise it’ll be worth it.⁣

Plan for the day: finish painting the outside of t

Plan for the day: finish painting the outside of the house! It’s been half painted for a few weeks now 🤭...we ran out of paint and then had some rain...I’m sure our neighbors have been wondering what in the world we are up to! 🤪⁣
⁣
I’d like to think we are just giving them something interesting to talk about during this quarantine! 🤔😂⁣
⁣
Last time we painted with this sprayer it took 3 washes to get all of the paint out of my hair! 🤨 It was either this or a pink shower cap...😛 Tell me what you’re doing this weekend!!!

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week.

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. ⁣
⁣
I know you can see us now with this whole lot of kiddos and think it must have come easily. But I assure you it hasn’t. Throughout the years I’ve been as open as possible about our journey and struggle in trying to get pregnant, the difficulties of those pregnancies and now the day in and day out of our lives with seven littles. ⁣
Pieces of our stories have resonated with some of you and one of my favorite things in life is connecting with new friends over shared joys and struggles. ⁣
It truly has been a rich pleasure to come alongside and pray for those of you who have reached out and offered up pieces of your stories with me as well. ⁣
⁣
Finding other women who also struggled with infertility was something I never had when going through it myself. It’s such a hard thing, so unique and so acute...not everyone can understand. I remembering feeling so utterly alone. I now love connecting with each of you and others and my hope is that these posts (see my stories for more friends who have walked through infertility as well!) will encourage even more who are struggling now to know they aren’t alone. Especially now with COVID. ⁣
⁣
Join with me in raising awareness so we can all be mindful to reach out to those who are in the trenches of infertility right now.⁣
⁣
Let’s pray this post does what it’s meant to do and bring light to some dark places! 😘

It’s a scary thing to read the news reports righ

It’s a scary thing to read the news reports right now. The US at the top of the charts, new cases of those who are sick and those who are dying not only here on our own soil but all around the globe.⁣
⁣
Like many of you we’ve been inside now for two straight weeks...and it would seem as though there is no end in sight to this ongoing tragedy.⁣
⁣
But I want to encourage you to look for the beauty. Seek it out. It may not be easily found in the media but it might be as close as in your own home, just down the street or a story found elsewhere...⁣
⁣
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” -Mr. Rogers⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s a husband serving his family by going out to numerous stores to search for over-picked products. Maybe it’s a mother working from home while also caring for her children. Maybe it’s teachers stretching themselves to learn new technology in order to stay connected to her students. Maybe it’s a neighbor staying up late to sew masks for those in the medical field. Maybe it’s an older sibling stepping up to help out a younger one. Maybe it’s a pastor preaching sermons out of his own home in order to serve his flock...⁣
⁣
There is so much good that is happening all around if we will just take a second to notice. ⁣
⁣
Don’t grow weary. Don’t give up. Don’t let the chaos and terror of these days consume you. I want to encourage you to not only look for the stories of those helping to spur you on but to BE the story of those serving to spur others on.⁣
⁣
What is right in front of you? Who is right in front of you? Start there. Start now. Serve not out of compulsion but with a heart of gratitude. You never know what a difference it might make.⁣
⁣
⁣Tag someone who has inspired you, let them know they e made and are making a difference to shine light in the darkness. I’ll start by leaving some of my own in the comments...

There’s a part of me that’s missed being prese

There’s a part of me that’s missed being present on social media. Since the end of December I felt a strong pull to take a break and to be intentional to rest and reset my life, home and heart. Little did I know what was in store...⁣
⁣
These last few months have been a whirlwind. From my sister going through chemo, baby girls sick with the flu, to the pandemic scare and ripple effect of this virus...things feel unusually and unprecedentedly odd...and a bit overwhelming.⁣
⁣
Although initially it wasn’t what I would have wanted I have become so incredibly thankful for the intentional time away from any media presence. I see now how much of my time and strength is needed to care for what (and who) is literally right in front of me. ⁣
⁣
I don’t feel ready at all to feel I must post consistently again at this time, but I do feel a strong urge to encourage and speak life into the insanity we are all facing. ⁣
⁣
When everything around us is shifting there is one thing that is certain: times of struggle provide the sweetest opportunities to grow. ⁣
⁣
When we feel pressure we have an opportunity to press in. ⁣
⁣
When we feel scared we have an opportunity to seek. ⁣
⁣
When we feel overwhelmed we have an opportunity to be changed. ⁣
⁣
Bottom line: suffering is an invitation to strengthen.⁣
⁣
I have no idea where this is all leading and what lasting impacts it will have, economically, politically, practically, physically and spiritually...but I have no doubt at all that this time is one of refinement, for us individually, as well as the church at large.⁣
⁣
I want to encourage us to use this time to get back to what it is that matters most. Are we submitted to the Lord with tender hearts that lean in to be led by Him? Are we actively using our words and lives to give true hope to those who do not yet know Him? Or are we too busy with our own lives and too preoccupied with our own interests that we aren’t concerned with those around us? ⁣
⁣
Are our hearts open to Him or have we been avoiding relationship with Him because other things seem more important, alluring or interesting? ⁣
⁣
Are we prayerful that God would use us to seek and save the lost, to be a voice of hope, to be
