We don’t talk about it. Nobody warns anybody else about it. Maybe it’s pride or embarrassment or sheer fear of judgment that keeps us from speaking out about it. But it’s there, lurking along the outskirts of our hearts and minds—the post-holiday lull. For those of us who live far from family, this lull hits especially hard. It comes in …
Written by: Ashley Peavey 2 Corinthians 5:17 “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Have you ever gone through a day, a week, maybe even a month and thought to yourself, where has the time gone? Ever since having kids, that thought comes through my head far …
Written by: Suzanne Hines Even before becoming a Mom, I was a Christian. I grew up as a missionary kid in a Christian home and made my faith my own at a young age. Then, I became a Mom…and everything changed. Motherhood made me more like Christ—it was sanctifying. I understood even more about what love was and saw beauty …
Perfect is boring. I haven’t always felt this way though. In fact, I think I just twitched while penning those words. For the majority of my thirty-one years, I’ve fought for perfection—the kind of perfection that would keep me at the top of my class/peers and would push me to slay every goal I set. The type of perfection that …
Written by Shannan Panganiban I’ll admit it… when I found out I was having a son with my first pregnancy, I was overjoyed at the thought of all my future children having a big brother to look after them.

Written by: Raven Alexis I allowed myself to Google it. “the loneliness of motherhood” 448,000 results. Isn’t that funny? That while feeling so alone, there are so many others searching and discussing the same thing? As a relatively new mama (my son, Legend, is 6 months old), I still get asked: “How’s motherhood treating you?” “Do you love being a …
Written by Marielle Petkoff My life is boring. My life is nothing special. I have nothing to say worth sharing. I went from working for a well-known corporation, managing a multi-million dollar business, to spending my days as a stay-at home mom, changing diapers, microwaving chicken nuggets, and driving circles around the neighborhood just to kill time when the afternoons …
Organized chaos—that’s basically the definition of my life. I am half perfectionist/half chicken with my head cut off. It’s a problem. My husband lovingly points out my issues as he searches for any of his belongings (keys, phone, etc.) in my diaper bag. Sure, everything I need is packed in there, but as the day goes on, everything gets thrown …
Written by Gwendolyn Fiola Since it was a fresh start to a new year, on January 5th my husband and I sat down and decided what we wanted to do with our year. We made financial goals, relationship goals, spiritual goals, and physical goals. We also talked about whether or not we wanted to add on to our family this year, but we …
Written by: Chelsea McKinney A portion of this post originally appeared on the “And Then Life” Blog. Early on in my pregnancy I decided I wanted to experience natural childbirth. I wanted to do it for the typical reasons you hear—no unnecessary meds, faster recovery, and movement during labor. But more than anything, I honestly felt that women truly are …
