Trigger Warning- DV-

When I was growing up in Regina, SK, there was a family my mom met through our church.
They were the coolest family I had ever known.
Their dad was super rad and kind and took time to teach his children how to run and how to place importance on education, service, and kindness to others.
The mom raised more than her kids—she raised a generation of children.
Her home was always open to everyone, and no one ever left hungry.
There were seven beautiful children, and I got to call them my friends.
I had the blessing of going to birthday parties with them and even Disney once!
Through the years we moved away from Regina but always kept in touch.
When I was ready for post-secondary school, I of course decided to go to the University of Regina—obviously.
They let me live with them.
At the same time, one of their daughters moved home as well.
Now let me tell you about her.
There was no one on this planet like her.
She was cool and always on the go—always onto the next adventure before you could even catch up with her.
We became closer than we were when we were kids, and I was so lucky to have that time with her.
I moved back to Alberta, and she would come visit with her beautiful son, Joel.
We had so many fun adventures here.
In 2005, I got married, and the visits never stopped.
My husband kind of knew that when she was here, he was “kicked” out of our room—it was for Celeste and Joel.
Life kept moving, and soon we found ourselves pregnant on the same timeline.
Before they were born, we decided of course they HAD to get married.
Years went by, and the visits never stopped.
We always picked up right where we left off.
We took the kids swimming, to 7-Eleven, and to the park—NEVER a movie.
Because Celeste knew one speed…
She never slowed down.
And she was EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE adult.

Motherhood.
I wouldn’t be a Mom with out these 3 babies. Every year I am amazed at who they are becoming.
I love being your mom

The truth.
I've tried to write this a couple times.
The words are not enough to say what I want to say about a Man who changed EVERYTHING.
I want you to teach your babies to love my babies.
I want you to teach them that saying the N word is never ok and it is that deep.

I want to continue with the betterment of this earth.

I love God and I am NOTHING without him.
Dr King was such a great example of leading with faith and teaching with kindness, I want to be like him.

Happy MLK Day ( yes I'm aware I'm Canadian )

Decorating for Valentines Day!

My house felt a little empty after Christmas came down and these fun touches to the living room was just what was needed

I’d love to know if you decorated for February 14.

XOXO

I’ve been lying there is no other way to spin it
Lying to myself about so many things.
Feeling like I am not enough
Feeling like I am letting people down
Feeling like I am not a good Mom
Feeling like I am not a good Friend
Feeling Dumb
Along with so many other things.

So many.

Truth is that’s a lie, the devil puts that in my eye and I’m OVER it.

I’m learning and growing and making my list!

So blessed to be able to talk to God and be reminded that I am so many good things!

Friends,
some days do you notice how it’s the final touch that makes the biggest difference?
Like adding a lip colour at the end of a makeup look Or finally throwing out the junk after you’ve already cleaned four kitchen drawers.
The little things matter more than we think.
This is a little raw, unfiltered confession. I’ve been feeling stuck, and today I realized I didn’t need a big breakthrough.
I just needed to write everything out of my head, gain a bit of clarity… and breathe.
And I realized I needed to bring it back to God.
When it feels unfinished, that’s where I need to go.
Where do you find your strength when you’re feeling stuck?

Let’s just take a second and remember it is the middle of winter right now and some one decided it was time to reinvent yourself and start fresh….UMMM Nope.
This is not the time. Nature is telling us to remain slow and intentional. Be kind and gentle and give your self the grace that God gives us every day. Keep growing and soon you will bloom. I am so thankful today for my faith and starting to study the Old testament this year and so excited to deepen my relationship with God.
Being a Latter-day Saint in this dispensation is a blessing. I’m so excited to Follow Him!
I AM HIS CHILD
A Child of God
This is my all time favourite version of I am a child of god.
THANK YOU.

Xoxo

I hate Fall.
Well not really.
I thought I did.
I had to look a little deeper to see why I thought I hated fall.
Cause I love layers and cozy and all things that make you feel like a warm hug.
I discovered that I just would miss my dear friend the SUN.
I don’t do well with less daylight hours at all.
So I’ve got to make a plan for how to keep my happy going.
Am I alone in this?
Or do you feel it to when the days get shorter?

XO
