References posted are from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) “Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting.

Fasting Resources
Fasting is withholding food of our flesh to instead feast upon Him the Father. It is savoring His word more than our daily bread. Ultimately, we fast as a longing for The Creator more than his creation. We fast as a posture of humility, crying, “Lord have your way in my life, have your way … Continue reading
I Go Too
“Mommy has to go to work. Bye-bye,” I said to two-year old Ava as I began our hug-and-kiss ritual this morning. “I go Mama too,” she urged. “No, baby I’m sorry, mommy’s going to work,” I replied and kissed the top of her head. She looked up into my eyes, lifted her hands, and told me in a matter-of-fact … Continue reading
My Bed Rest Journey
I went into prelabor with twins at 21 weeks. I endured a spectrum of treatments from strict bed rest, procardia, terbutaline, indocin, corticosteroids, to the (gulp) 24 hour mag treatment, and home monitoring.

She chants “ba-ba” as she mimics our dog’s bark. Kaitlyn reaches her little fingers to feel the groves of the sidewalk and gutters. Hugs! … Continue reading
How to Become a Morning Person
I am not a morning person. But as a mom of twin toddlers, my most productive hours are those sacred hours before 7:15 a.m. That’s when the girls wake-up (or I leave them in the cribs till then). My natural peak productive hours are early afternoon, but alas I’m in the season of life where … Continue reading

Friday Family Photos
Spring is in the air, and little toddler feet are pitter-pattering outdoors. At 15-months old the girls spend most of their days giggling, exploring, and chewing on toys. Oh, the life. Kaitlyn loves to play fetch with herself, throwing it then picking it up for a chew. I asked Ava to “smell the flowers”, but … Continue reading
