Few are Chosen: A New Year Reflection
The “confident, realistic, independent” me speaking: 2023… I honestly don’t have enough words inside my vocabulary to accurately convey all the emotions behind the beauty and ashes I experienced this year! I gained so much knowledge about myself and the people around me. I navigated through the darkness and light of my life and the world—where there were extraordinary gains and gut-wrenching losses.

I absolutely love Christmas, it is fascinating to me. Christmas has become one of the most magical seasons and loving on those dearest to my heart while learning more about them is so special. Most importantly, it’s a powerful time for reminiscing on the miraculous...
Dream Big, Devote Everything
“Dream big, devote everything.” For my family, this is a motto that has not only informed how we raise our own children but what we want to impress upon the children we work within our Devoted Dreamers Foundation. I frequently hear my husband, the dreamer of our...
How to Avoid the Pitfalls of Distraction
"A distracted parent is a frustrated parent." This is a phrase that I've used for many years, but admittedly, I frequently become preoccupied with a laundry list of tasks that threaten all my "intentional parenting" tools, forcing me into old habits that I preach...
Learning More About Myself Through a Lullaby

Managing the Chaos: How I Stick To My Goals
I will admit, I most certainly have a tendency to… let’s say, overcommit to some of my gospels. First and foremost? Philippians 2:3. You know, the part that says “Count others more significant than yourselves.” I can’t tell you how often I find myself run ragged...
