Our previous life was rushing, rushing, rushing. This new life has its challenges too, so we cope with daily recitations of 1 Corinthians 13 , probably too much screen time , and lonnng drives to nowhere, but more than anything, this time is a holy pause and I’m so grateful. ✨- by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
I’ve been off of Instagram for Lent and I must say - it was good for my heart and mind! But I missed you all so much! A lot has happened in these last 40 days, huh?! I mean who would have thought that bringing groceries into the house would require a mask and gloves?! >> “CLEAR A PATH, MAMA’S COMING THROUGH WITH THE MILK AND EGGS!” While it hasn’t been easy, I have felt that this season is one where I feel the Lord has shook me (and the Church) awake. I love that He is calling us to - by happyhomefairy 4 months ago
Can’t let the day end without posting about this guy. I hugged him the other night and told him he is the glue of this family. Him and the Holy Spirit, of course. He keeps us laughing. He does all the things that I don’t want to do (drive, touch raw chicken, give the kids their medicine, take out the trash, clean out the drains, basically anything that involves hard work lol). He listens patiently to all my stories from the day. He doesn’t judge me when I overeat dark chocolate before bed. He has all the wisdom and I - by happyhomefairy 4 months ago
✨SPECIAL DAY✨ The Reverend Brasington got to baptize Baby Z as a member of the covenant family at church this morning. I am often painfully aware of my weaknesses as a parent, but what brings me so much hope and comfort is that it’s not all about me! My children belong to God first and also He made it so that we don’t have to raise kids alone. Looking out at all the faces in the congregation who have loved us, prayed for us, blessed us and cheered us on in our journey as Christian parents, we can’t help but - by happyhomefairy 4 months ago
It’s my 37th birthday and, like my shirt says, I’m “Feeling Good”. Feeling good that I got a nap today AND got to eat my weight in sweet potato fries at my favorite restaurant with my favorite people! ✨✨✨✨ - by happyhomefairy 4 months ago
Urgent Care >> Quickly becoming our new home away from home. Baby Z has had a rough week of fevers, sleeplessness and all the eye gunk. Doctor tonight diagnosed him with a double ear infection and double conjunctivitis and maybe strep throat. . Photo above shows smiles while we tried to come up with ways to entertain a baby in the doctor’s office, but the truth is, we have had more sickness this last year than wellness and, in full disclosure, I’m getting a little weary of it! Always seeing people slaying life and getting stuff done and we are - by happyhomefairy 5 months ago
Jaws dropped in awe of the guy in the 3-piece suit today at church! Happy Ordination Day to the new Reverend Ryan Brasington! You have worked so hard for this and we couldn’t be more proud!! ✨ . *But for the record, before it was official with the PCA and in front of all our precious church family this morning, you have been a pastor to us for as long as we’ve known you and your faithful, wise, loving, and selfless heart. ❤️ @ryanbrasington - by happyhomefairy 5 months ago
Picked him up from school today and he surprised me with a hole in his mouth! Here’s hoping the Tooth Fairy doesn’t forget to come again like the last 2 times. ♀️ . Tonight at dinner, we all shared 3 things we like and 3 things we don’t like. This was inspired by a book character from The Mitford Series by Jan Karon. This character, consistently positive, effervescent and radiant, when asked what she doesn’t like, is always prepared with a list of 3 creative and specific things. And I love it! I think it’s so fun to hear what - by happyhomefairy 5 months ago
We decided to pop up to Orlando for the last 2 days of Christmas break and do all the Disney “free” things like see the fireworks from one of the Disney resorts and walk around Disney Springs and ride the monorail 200 times. It was so much fun, but my little people are exhausted and thrilled to be back in their beds (note ✨elation✨ in above photo). Exhausted because nothing says let’s stay up all night to a 14 month old than getting to bunk in a room with your entire family. ✨ This was a really great break. I - by happyhomefairy 5 months ago
I love looooove the baby stage. Give me all the rolls and snuggles and toothy grins and bath time giggles and firsts. This little man is such a delight to my heart. I would stay awake all night just to be with him more. Oh wait >> I do that already! . He’s getting busier and busier (as evidenced by the assortment of bruises on his forehead ♀️) and even took a step on his own this week! I find myself aching to go back in time to his freshness to the world because it is flying by so quickly,
