Life of a believer, mama, wife and health enthusiast
I think we can all admit that the last few months have been well, unexpected. No one expected a global pandemic that would force us to hibernate in our homes for the unforeseeable future. No one expected to have to homeschool their children while trying to maintain their own jobs. No one expected to be … Continue reading 2020 is Not what you expected.

But MOST importantly...I can't believe how in love I am with this tiny human...and that he is … Continue reading Newborn “Must-Haves”
