A few days ago, I stumbled across a blog that has been filling me with encouragement. Years ago I use to follow along this same blog, but some how in the midst of busy life, I drifted away.
This blog has encouragement for people of all ages...but specifically lot's of wisdom and guidance for Moms.
I'm so thankful that the internet has given us an endless amount of places to seek God's word!

Warmer days
The weather has been incredible, a little teaser of whats to come this summer. We have been spending a ton of time outside. Daily morning walks, watering our vegetable garden and of course, evening walks too!
My BFF and I decide that we should capitalize on the warm days and take our little ones to the beach for this first time this year.
We invited some friend, collected the beach toys, packed the snacks and made a lunch run through In-N-Out for the mommas.
I was a little hesitant how the girl would do, since her last summer at the beach she was only 9 months old. But she did great, and it was such a relaxing time! The little ones were all intimidated by the water, so they stayed close. They had lots of sand playing and bird watching fun.
We finished the day up with 1/2 priced delicious drinks at Startbucks. Can't wait for some more beach time fun!
Oh, and I can't forget...every little girl needs her first pair of pink flip flops too:)

My calling
My friend Kelly recently shared a link to an encouraging article. Becoming a mom is life changing in so many incredible ways, but we all have challenging days. Sleepless nights, cranky babies, whinny toddlers...it's bound to happen.
For me, becoming a mom was, and continues to be amazing. But with that came challenges too. I began to see more of my own pride and selfishness sneak out. There are days when I just want to sleep in and be lazy. I realized my dependence on prayer and the need to find strength in Christ.
We are surrounded by culture and media, and so much of this tells us where we find our worth and success. I can't actually recall the last time something in the media encouraged me about my calling as a mother.
I'm thankful for articles like this. Godly women who share and encourage us in our walks with Christ and as we become moms.
I hope you will find encouragement as well!
