Dear Dad…

Happy Father's day! I wanted to write you a card, but I haven't found a way to send cards to Heaven; so, we'll have to settle for this. 

Thursday’s Thoughts – Tips from a New Mom

As a very new mom, I'm constantly reading mom blogs and asking other moms how to navigate through motherhood. I'm so thankful moms are willing to share their best tips and tricks, and walk me through the good, bad, and the ugly. I've been asked so many times by friends and family how things are …

Dawson Monroe Dickerson

Can you believe Dawson's already 8 weeks old? I didn't want to miss an opportunity to show off my little guy. We are so proud of him! He's grown so much since these were taken.  At 10 days old, we had newborn photos taken of him, and we absolutely love how they turned out. If …

The Countdown Ends (Weeks 36- almost 40)

I started counting down the days until Dawson's arrival at week 25. I had a countdown app on my phone to keep up with it, and even wrote the days left on my whiteboard at work so I could keep my coworkers updated. (They all loved it! 😉) Needless to say, I couldn't wait to meet …

Home Stretch (Weeks 25-35)

Good morning, Friends and Family! I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! Can you believe it's already December?!

Isn't he handsome?? …

Niagara Falls

"there is none like you, O Lord; you are great, and great is your name in might."  Jeremiah 10:6 Have you ever seen something that reflected the greatness of God? Have you found yourself in awe of who He is? How has His power changed you? I remember feeling His power when I saw Niagara …

I’m back!!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've written a post… I promise my intentions are to keep up with this blog, but it seems the time gets away from me.  I have to brag on my sister in law, Kayla, who reminds me I need to write another post. Thanks for holding …

Quarter of a Century Birthday

Whoops this never got published... its only a year late. 😉 Last Monday I had my quarter of a century birthday. Yes, that means I'm officially 25. I love birthdays and think they should be celebrated in a big way, but this year I tried to downscale my excitement when April 1st hit. Usually I'm in …
