About Me

I am a full-time mama to three little blessings, and a fourth on the way.

For the sake of this blog we'll call 'em Little Miss C (4 years), Little Miss E (2.5), and Little Mister L (14 months). Our little May Flower is expected to arrive early-mid May. Yep, 16.5 months apart - all of them.

I have the immense honour of teaching our kids at 'home', but really, anywhere and everywhere.

I'm on a journey.

Since starting this blog, it's already changed so much in the last few months. I'm learning to do motherhood intentionally, but not perfectly. I want to pour God's Word into my children, but I'm not going to make their sandwiches into panda bears, or throw elaborate themed parties (all the time).

I'm a recovering Type A.

I say recovering because I'm learning that not everything has to be perfect.
Yes, I like things to look nice. I notice every detail. I want to take care of our home and belongings. But the kids don't need to colour coordinate every day, just incase we take pictures.

The kids need to be kids. That means not saying 'no' to everything. Finding ways to say 'yes'.

What I'm learning, as cliche as it sounds, is that we aren't here forever. We are here to be Jesus to people. I'm not saying I am Jesus, or have some Saviour complex. I'm saying we need to be His love to people.
Bless them. Pray for them. Feed them. Clothe them. Send a nice, unexpected card. Just LOVE on them. Whatever that looks like. I'm learning to recognize those opportunities, and in turn teach my babies to be on the lookout for those opportunities too.

As you can see from previous blog posts, I started out wanting to be 'super mom', and replicating all those super mom blogs out there. Tutorials on princess parties and elaborate cakes, are now replaced with fun traditions to do as a family. Things that are less about appearance and more about quality memories and life lessons. If I can make them fun and cute to look at as well, then bonus! But it's not my main drive anymore.
I would like to give my girls pretty parties, but not go over the top. That is a huge temptation with my Type A personality. Pinterest can exacerbate that problem (but it has also helped me find great traditions to do with our family). How about not a huge party every single year?
You can see a difference between my first few posts on the girls birthday cakes, and Little Miss C's 3rd birthday last year.

I'm on a journey. I'm trying to find that balance. God put us where we are for a reason. There are people we need to be Jesus to, and I'm trying to find what that looks like for me, my babies, and our family.
