Tomorrow morning check your inboxes… For this mo

Tomorrow morning check your inboxes… For this months freebie, I decided the theme would be, well, this. It’s about the boys and made for the girls like me that fangirl over ‘em.Father’s Day is this month, and while we live in a culture that seems to always be trying to cancel our gentlemen… you can find me over here cheering them on! This is for my daddy— one of the brightest, funniest, coolest men I know. It’s for my husband— the most courageous, patient, hilarious, kind, loving, (hottt 🔥) man who has both my respect and my heart forever. It’s for my nephews & my friends’ sons who are being raised in a way that makes me say “You’re awesome, dude.”And if you’re a fan of ‘em, too, sign up for #thepaperpack and grab the free printables. You can find the link in my bio.💕 #memorykeeper #memorykeepers #projectlifecards #freeprintables #printablescrapbookpaper #scrapbookyourway #papercraftingaddict #papercrafts #fathersday #boymomsrule

One year ago today, I was receiving the gut wrench

One year ago today, I was receiving the gut wrenching, heart shattering news from my sister that she had cancer. And a few hours later, my friend Michelle would receive a message that would forever change her life. Today I’m sitting with both outcomes. My sister healed from cancer & Logan Grace, healed in heaven.There are things I can’t answer about this life. But I’ve spent time listening to those who have navigated paths of deep, deep grief and the one thing I’ve seen in both stories is that God can make beautiful things from devastating circumstances. Michelle, I’m sorry. It sounds so hollow but the extent of my grief over the absence of Logan is deep. I can tell you with all the honesty that her little life has done SO much good in my own life, including breaking my silence with God and rekindling my relationship with His church, and I can’t thank you enough for your vulnerability in sharing all things LG with the world. I cannot wait to see your family reunited in heaven, and I can’t wait to befriend my little partner in all the shenanigans. 💜Friends, can you join me in sending some love to the Fox family today? You don’t have to say anything… just give them a 🦋💜… and please oh please follow @because_of_logan, learn from them about water safety, and if you’re a parent— squeeze your kids extra tight today. Linger on that hug a little longer. (And maybe a wedgie would be appropriate too?? Yes @therealmichellefox? 😉)Love you 🦊s.

Nadia’s ballet recital is tonight! Woohoo!! I’

Nadia’s ballet recital is tonight! Woohoo!! I’m so excited to see her perform (she LIGHTS UP in the spotlight, y’all!), so all day I’ve been antsy. Also because… yo. She’s got HAIR FOR DAYZ and getting it up in neat ballet bun isn’t something I’ve mastered yet. So I’m leaving like 45 minutes for hair and makeup alone. 🤣So anyways, to pass the time I decided to take my anxious little heart to my happy place (craft room) and create a page where I can do a heart check. I’ll be journaling thoughts, prayers, and creating a checklist in all the blank spaces, but sometimes I don’t care to share all that because… well, I’ve got sacred boundaries and some things are only meant to be shared between me & Jesus. 💕Supplies used: @tamaraarcilla Check Up from @illustratedfaith, Stamp set and “&” washi tape from Illustrated faith kit “More Jesus”, Other washi tape from @cratepaper#biblejournaling #journalingbiblecommunity #illustratedfaith #illustratedfaithcommunity #biblejournalingcommunity #documentedfaith #tamaraarcilla_squad #if_heartcheck

Last day of school. 💕I’ve got all the feels over her growth this past year, but I’ll tell you this— it’s been absolutely beautiful to watch. 😋

Photos to go with my previous post about Rain or Shine…Y’all — I’m so sick of having to make videos in order for IG to show you my stuff. 😅 I’m not the only one. I’ve had many a conversation with other creatives who are sooooo over their things only have a reach of like, uhh, 20 people tops?? Unless you make video, of course. Don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy a video or two. But come on… only like 1% of my feed are photos anymore. I don’t know about you but my brain cannot handle all that. It’s too much. 😅 So I apologize if I’m contributing to your own brain overload. Good grief.One of these days I’d love if we all just pushed back. Fought the “rules”… rebelled a little. 😂 But it’s likely I’ll just be kicked off before that day comes. Lord knows I’m already flagged for the posts I like. 😉Rant over. Class dismissed.Snag this set if you like it using my Etsy shop link in bio. The few dollars really do help this mama out. Gets me like 3/4 a gallon of gas. 😂😂😂 Ok I’m done. I’m in a mood today.

I always have much to say, but this time it’s really simple: This is all I’ve ever wanted. 💕

You know, I’d be totally fine if my kids didn’t like the same things as me, but MAN am I glad they’re also little artists! 💕Yesterday, I had lots of stuff to do and catch up on. But in the middle of my work, Tashie asked if we could paint, and I immediately put down what I was doing and got out some canvases, acrylic paints, and oil pastels. We went outside, put on some worship music, and we both painted what we felt. Hers is an adorable sunshine, and mine turned into an abstract seascape.Every part of this makes me happy and fills my soul. Thank God for art. 🙌

Putting this here for me. Cause one day I’ll scroll through my feed and remember the perfect morning I had when the rainbow hit the pages, the sun lit up the sky, when my tea was the perfect temp, my cats were being cool, my house was quiet and I was greeted with a smile and a kiss…Mondays get a bad rap, but I kinda like ‘em. 😉

I’m here for all of it. The mom jeans. The late

I’m here for all of it.The mom jeans. The late nights and early wake ups. The easy pregnancies, the hard ones too. The miraculous joy that overwhelms your whole being the moment you see your tiny one for the first time. The memorized books that you read over and over, and the requests for one more time. The extended bathroom breaks that consist of nothing but sitting on a toilet in silence, whether it’s for a sanity break, a moment to catch up on messages, or to let out the cry you’ve been holding in all day. The getting peed on mid diaper change and laughing about it. The 3 a.m. cries for comfort after a bad dream and the snuggles in a too small bed that follow. The cheers of excitement from the backseat when you pull into a drive thru cause you’re way too tired to cook dinner or to care about which oil the fries were fried in. The tears of pride when you watch your kids accomplish something great & the tears of sorrow when you just don’t know how to heal their hurts. The stretched skin that we put way too much emphasis on. The months upon months of greasy top knots and postpartum stretch pants. The kissed boo boos and expensive fancy bandaids. The requests for more playtime with you when all you want to do is kick your feet up and read your own book. The birthday parties, the Christmas mornings, the first Ferris Wheel rides, and first taste of ice cream. (Or bacon. 😉) The laughter that melts your heart and the I love you’s that can take every worry from your mind and put in perspective what really matters.I’m here for all of it. And if I had to guess, you are too. Happy Mother’s Day to my fellow mama bears. I wish you as much joy in this journey of motherhood as I have felt for the past 11 years in mine. ❤️(Here’s a peek into my day. Simple, silly, and beautiful. Just the way I like it.)

I haven’t really talked about this publicly yet

I haven’t really talked about this publicly yet because… I just couldn’t. It’s hard to make words when you feel like the weight you’re carrying is limiting your breath. A year ago my oldest sister was struggling with some health concerns. We told her not to think the worst, because the likelihood it was what she feared was slim. Or at least that’s what we said. But then she called my phone & if it didn’t come in a text, I knew what she was going to say might make me collapse. But I stood & paced & tried to just speak hope into her diagnosis while we talked. After we got off the phone, that’s when I fell apart. My sister couldn’t have cancer… but she did. And there wasn’t anything I could do about it.My sisters are everything. When one of them hurts, we all hurt. So for the months that followed, I could barely get up in the mornings and go about my day “as usual” because how could I? Everything was different. It was heartbreaking to see her grow weaker. It was heartbreaking to know her “lions mane” (as we always referred to our hair) was coming out in clumps in her hand. It was heartbreaking to see my dad cry and say to me, “I. Won’t. Let. Her. Give. Up.” It broke me to hear my mom who I think has openly cried maybe twice in my life cry over the phone, “My baby Stephanie…”But God.Today, this sister of mine who was an avid runner before… she took her victory lap. There was a moment when we prayed this day would come but ultimately knew it was in Gods hands. So despite my own need to “fix” things, I knew I needed to go to the only one who could. So I prayed, begged, relentlessly.I kept close to me this little Bible Steph got me on my 21st birthday. The pages were already tear soaked cause it was the first Bible I ever actually read and loved, but the last year has only wrecked it more.Last night I sang “Lion” at @elevationworship & my roars were louder & stronger. And this morning, cancer-free Steph ran her 1/2 marathon, but with a different perpective this time.My family is different now. We were good before, but we’re better now. So I printed out the photo of my precious sis to hang on my wall as a reminder of miracles. Healing. Strength.Of Jesus.❤️

(Note: Please, for the love, don’t take me serio

(Note: Please, for the love, don’t take me seriously. For cryin out loud, I said to get knock off Birks and tithe your $ instead. 😆) My daughter is very into fashion… (like her own version of it. 😂) So when I actually get out of sweatpants, she gets so excited. “WHOA MOM! I love your style!” she told me today…And then I had to laugh when she asked me what my style was called, and without missing a beat I blurted out “Modest Casual Church Mom.” 😉That basically led to me doodling this nonsense this afternoon. Yes, I’m poking fun at… well, I don’t know exactly. 😂 Maybe our church culture or how others view our culture. I know “modest” is one of those trigger words for some. Doesn’t bother me either way. I just wear whatever. 😅 My husband saw me drawing this and laughed… and then we came up with some pretty hilarious extras that I’m sorry to say, I just couldn’t add. 😆I share this for no other reason than to say, it’s ok not to take life too seriously sometimes. It’s ok to laugh at yourself and with yourself, and if you can bring a smile to someone else in the process, awesome.Hope this finds my fellow Church Moms sitting in your Post-Church Daisy Dukes happy and smiling. 😊 Have a great Sunday evening! 💕#illustratedfaith #biblejournaling #illustratedfaithcommunity #coffeeandjesus #lampandlight #shesharestruth #documentedfaith #faithnotes #biblejournalingcommunity #biblegram #churchmom

Torn magazine, where’ve ya been my whole life? 🥰 I flipped through this gem by @tamaraarcilla & @jill.drangsholt (editor) and yo… it’s a work of art. Truly. While the digital copy is a joy, magazines like this are begging to be (literally) torn apart. Cut. Pasted. Used. Loved. 💕For the next 24 hours, you can get it on sale. Follow @tamaraarcilla & snag your copy along with me. Congratulations ladies! You’ve done a phenomenal job! 👏#tamaraarcilla_squad #tornmagazine #magazinelover #faithjournaling #junkjournaljunkies #journalingcommunity

Words hold weight. They can be used to lift someon

Words hold weight. They can be used to lift someone up or be used to push them down. God, may I be careful and not careless with my words. 💕This page is about Jesus’ last words before his death on the cross. They’re quite powerful, and @levilusko did such a great job breaking their meaning down that I just took his post, printed it out, and folded it up into a little book I could keep in this pocket. I really spent time listening in on what those final 7 statements had to say. Whew…I’m really loving #biblejournaling lately… but it’s not about the pretty page. It’s about the reflection and worship that happens AS I’m making the pretty page. And today, I’m grateful that I could reflect on this “Gold from Golgotha.” ❤️Journaling supplies used are from @tamaraarcilla— More or Less + Plant Peace.

Today marks the first time in a few years that I’ve gone to church on Easter, and me being there today is resurrection power at work. There’s much I could say about that, but I think the gospel speaks best for itself.Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” John 11:25-27“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.” Matthew 28:6All Hail King Jesus.

Today was good. First day in many weeks I’ve fel

Here’s the thing… I love me a good bookmark. 🥰 When I was little, I designed a bookmark for a contest I entered at my library and I won. They printed out like 500 of them and for my entire childhood we never managed to get rid of them all. 😅 I’m gonna be real here… I unfairly won that thing. My sister @mymcdoodles did all the work. 🤣 I wrote some terrible poem about chocolate and used the word “yummy” like 50 times to take up space 😂 but Diana wrote it out for me, drew it, did it. And my name was on it. So this is my gift to you on National Siblings Day, Diana… I humbly admit that you should have won that contest (as well as all the other contests I won because I was the youngest *CoughBeauBearCough*). Steph’s siblings day gift is that she was born with enough of a head start to avoid some of my nonsense. You’re welcome @stephtea1. 🤣Really though, bookmarks always make me smile, so here’s one I made using the new Plant Peace set designed by @tamaraarcilla for @illustratedfaith. Love the wings in this one!! 💕 Happy Palm Sunday!#printandprayshop #illustratedfaith #tamaraarcilla_squad #journalingbiblecommunity #biblejournalingcommunity #biblejournaling #journalingbible #handmadebookmark #bookmarksofinstagram #unseenrealm

Nadia had dance photos last week. Naturally I couldn’t resist taking my own when she got home… ones that are fully her being herself in our messy house. No fancy lighting. No backdrops. No poses aside from whatever she wanted to do. And while I’m sure the professional ones will be just fine, there will always be something special to me about pictures like this, the ones we’ve taken together. I can hear her laughter when I look at them. I know what she was thinking and what I was saying. It’s like we have a language of our own when we’re doing this. I’ve always loved taking photos of my girl. She connects to it in ways I don’t always get to experience when I photograph other people, and it makes me so so very happy. 💕 Just wanted to share a few.
