Hello everyone, I just want to start out by explaining the name of my new blog and what it means to me.
My husband and I both came from Christian families and we got married when I was only 19 years old and Sean was 21. We have both struggled with faith, but said that we wanted to go to church every week, pray every night, and do devotionals together. We have been married for almost 5 years now and still struggle with all of these things. When our relationship got hard we did a couples devotional together every night and really helped bring us closer together. However, we both struggled to find time for it and then we had our first baby. We haven’t been to church in a while because our oldest son will not sit during service and will not go to his class either. He gets scared and sad about us leaving him and just cries the entire time. We have gotten really good about praying every night together as a family as part of our sons bed time routine.
Motherhood has been the biggest challenge of my life and also the biggest blessing. I need faith to get me through the tough days and to keep me calm when my 2 year old is throwing huge temper tantrums. Motherhood also helps me to have faith because I strive to be the best mom I can be for both my boys and want to treat them the best that I can.
I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mom. I wanted to have kids young and I’m so blessed that I found my husband at a young age and that we have two beautiful boys together. Before I had kids I was going to school, working at the college bookstore, and working in a daycare. I really loved both of my jobs and I always thought that I would keep working when I had kids. I never wanted to be a stay at home mom until I was actually pregnant. The thought of leaving my little baby for so long every day was the hardest thing to ever think about. I’m so happy now that I get to be at home with them and watch them grow and learn every day.
My blog is mostly going to be about motherhood and my kids because being a mom to these two boys is the best thing in the whole world. There’s so much that goes on through pregnancy, childbirth, newborn stage, and toddler stage that I want to document a lot of it and share my stories to maybe help others. I’ll also write about traveling with kids, everything that’s involved in that, and the places we go. Once in a while I’ll share some of my favorite recipes because my husband and I are huge foodies and I love to try new things and get creative in the kitchen.
