Our home and a bit of everything else. Wednesday, January 7. I cannot believe the time.that baby boy slipped through my fingers and before me now stands a boy i am blessed to call mine. He has grown so much this year physically yes, but more so in his heart! He has accepted a new sister with more love and gentleness than i could have ever asked for. he protects her. he watches over her and always makes sure she is ok. Umm also, did i mention he is just really funny? He is full of so much goodness and is ...

Our home and a bit of everything else. Friday, June 13. What do hormones have to do with it? Littered through previous posts are bits and pieces of my story with little boy.a story telling the emotions waiting for baby when they are past the due date, birthing without medication and why that was my choice, and for me the aftermath of his delivery which left me with a number of fears and anxieties going into this one. I feel there are two realms you have to sift through. So, the biological side:. Oxytocin...

Our home and a bit of everything else. Thursday, September 11. Breastfeeding.and then not. This is a topic that is so close to my heart, that in reality i still cry over sometimes. i will be honest and hope it does not offend. Im tired of reading articles and hearing conversations that basically say if you dont breastfeed your kid, they will be.not as smart, not get all the nutrition they need, have behavior problems, not be as bonded to you, etc. fill in the blank. Articles i have read since have had si...

Our home and a bit of everything else. Thursday, January 23. What is a name. We went to Isreal ohhhh I guess about a year and a half ago. Amazing trip! So many lessons I am still processing. When we went, we were 10 weeks pregnant with our little boy. Hiking through the desert, up mountains and through crazy terrains was a little more challenging being in the first trimester, but still so so good. Turns out…their character = spot on to their name. One of our leaders, straight up haus’! When we found out ...

Our home and a bit of everything else. Friday, March 14. Our home.before, after and coming soon. When we bought our house, the best way to put our feelings is that "we saw potential.". It was by no means what we really wanted, but definitely what we could afford in an established neighborhood. the bones were good and the details were beautiful so we could see what it "could be" one day. We ended up pretty happy with our little home, chapter one at least. We hit a wall and havnt really done anything since.

our home and a bit of everything else: beasts of no nation
http://thebrodabode.blogspot.com/2015/11/beasts-of-no-nation.html
Our home and a bit of everything else. Wednesday, November 11. Beasts of no nation. Beasts of no nation. We are all. Bending to moral fluidity without question. Abandoning conviction for convenience. Staying silent for fear of offending. Speaking out in anger or self-righteousness. We have lost our anchor, our grounding, what we have been set out for. Love God. Love People. An active teathering to grace. Jesus knew the death that awaited him. He saw every man and women and child and unborn. Every...What ...

Our home and a bit of everything else. Tuesday, April 22. Directly to the heart. Isnt it just like our God to meet you where you are. no need to pull your boots up. no need to fix your dress or dust off the dirt and doubt. only need is to call out and rest in knowing He has heard you. Exhaustion and fear gripped my heart. and all i could do was voice it to the dark void and hope someone heard. Saturday the blessings continued as i found myself trying to help and him having already taken care of things.
