Welcome August!

August is just simply just a crazy month for me.  It makes me feel sorry for all the school teachers in this world who have children who have birthdays in August! Ha!  "What was I thinking having a baby in August"... I find myself saying a lot during this month. :)  For me, this month entails the longing to squeeze in that last goodness of summer and spending time doing that, mixed in with a daughter who loves celebrating her birthday and wants to plan and prepare with her mama, (and then throw in having a party!), and at the same time, a mama who knows school is just around the corner and needs ample time to think it through and prepare.  All this is slightly stressful for me!

When life feels stressful and overwhelming, I'm reminded to turn my eyes towards God and focus on Him.  To take the time to notice the every day blessings He lavishes on me... He wants me to see and know His goodness!

Making cake pops together...

Quietly playing...

Peaches ready to make into baby food...

Little fingers learning to eat puffs...

Going to cheer camp with her best friend...

My Kallan.... with his blankie and monkey...

A precious moment captured forever...

Her smiles, silly ways, and sweet heart...

My paci boy...

My joy boy... filling my days with smiles...

Finding a quiet place to read and be caught up in a book...



May I see and know Your goodness every day, Lord!
