Inspired by a wistful sigh by my 4 year old daughter I wish I were the moon, way up high in the sky To watch the world and the sea as they go twirling by To shine with a silvery light all my own While the stars and their twinkles decorate my sweet home I wish I were the moon, …
What If…
If you’ve spent any time here poking around through past posts, you’ve likely seen me write about faith, joy, depression, community, fear and how going it alone not only stinks, it’s not the way things were meant to be. (side note: I really, really wanted to put a comma after “fear”, but I’m told we no longer put commas between …
Be Thou My Vision {Guest Posting at The Better Mom}
Have you ever heard a song that so spoke the desires of your heart you had to listen to it over and over again? Me, too. One of those songs for me is Be Thou My Vision. It has always spoken to me, even long before Ireland was ever even on the radar. Now that we live here, the depth …

I love hearing stories of how happy couples got together, the proposal, the wedding, and on and on! I was so very excited when Leigh over at HopefulLeigh approached …
The Beauty of Motherhood
A body weary from early mornings, late nights and countless laps around the house holding small hands clinging to security.

A Goodbye Hello
I had another post in mind for today, but upon reflection have moved that to the back burner. And so, I fully embrace the fun that is Five Minute Friday. I’ve really enjoyed this exercise the past two weeks, so was looking forward to doing it again. Today’s prompt is: TENDER Start Bright blue eyes look up at the soft …
