this girl has watched me run a business since the day she was born.

she has watched me lead teams of women,
speak with small groups of husband & wives about business,
teach dozens of families about the benefits of natural living.
she even helps me teach how to use oils correctly.

she has seen me sacrifice sleep as i wake up in the wee hours of the morning so i can simply be a mama, her mama, during the day.
she has seen me put my work down so i can listen & be attentive to what she needs from me throughout our days together.

she hears me & Alexander talk about what we’re learning through business classes & podcasts & trainings.
she hears us go back and forth about our goals & dreams & plans we have for our family.
she’s SEEN some of these dreams come true, some plans come to fruition, our goals checked off.

she hears our prayers, our longings & desires & sees our hard work.

i love what small businesses create: a chance to do everything together as a family. a vision for our future that involves our kids & their dreams. the opportunity for our sweet babies to see what hard work looks like.

when i think about the last few years of us running businesses & leading people side by side, i think about Liliana (& our other babes to come). she has been with us through it all.

when i was pregnant with Liliana my thoughts & pra

when i was pregnant with Liliana my thoughts & prayers surrounded my identity. i would often think: will people think i’m too young to have a baby? do they think i will be a bad mom? am i too immature? what do they actually think about us getting pregnant in our first year of marriage?

& honestly when i see these written out, i cringe. not because i still ask these questions or believe the lies within what i thought the answers were. but because i have grown so far beyond these beliefs that i’m wildy amazed at the woman God has molded me into.

this pregnancy all i’ve been praying for is to be more like Jesus.

a constant prayer of mine is this:
LORD - remind me to live slower than i did yesterday,
help me to live with more intention,
make me more like You & your Son,
and help me to become a woman of greater love, joy & peace.

growth is good.
& your beliefs (about who you are & what you do) deeply matter.

mama friend, whatever season you’re currently in, i hope you ride the waves of motherhood with confidence and simply let go - of expectations & of negative thought patterns. become more like God & his Son as you allow him to mold you into a woman of greater love, joy & peace. make that your ambition & your constant prayer.

every friday, for the last 3 fridays, we keep saying “this could be our *last* friday night pizza night as a family of three!”

& tonight we’re probably saying it again!

and let’s do a poll. since we only watch one of two movies in this household 😉 which movie should we watch tonight as it’s possibly our *last* friday night movie night:

in a culture that sees motherhood as insignificant

in a culture that sees motherhood as insignificant, too much work & a way to be tied down, i’m here to say IT’S NOT.

i love who i am because of motherhood. i love who God has chosen to mold me into. i love the path he has laid out for me. laid out for me to dance upon & plant good things & nurture those good things & watch them flourish.

i’m honored to be their mama, to be part of rooting them, grounding them & watching them flourish.

& we’re ready for you, sweet baby. whenever you decide to come 🌞
