"Sometimes God redeems your story by surrounding you with people who need to hear your past so it doesn't become their future." -- Jon Acuff

Hi, I'm  Monica and below is a picture of my family. I am glad you stopped by! I am new at this mom thing but I love it most days .  I LOVE to read, although I don't have the time to read as much as I use to. There is nothing better than grabbing a pen and opening a new book. Why a pen? Because I do not have the ability to read ANYTHING without underlining or taking notes. I never go anywhere without my camera. Photography is my passion. I love old movies,"Steel Magnolias" and the show Golden Girls. I am an old soul. I would rather be enjoying the coziness of my home with my family than out and about. Not only do I have an insatiable appetite for reading and old movies, but also being with friends, lip gloss, journaling, reading the Word, starbucks, chocolate, organic and all things pink.

Why I blog


I started my blog with the same intentions as most. I wanted one place where family and friends could check up on us and see current pictures. When I first started my blog it was a hard time for us because we had been trying for months to have a baby and had been unsuccessful. When we finally became pregnant we lost the baby. After that my blog took on a new form. I love to journal, so this became my journal, an outlet for my sadness, anger, and joy. I loved how I could share with others across the world in their journey's in life and I could invite others to share in mine. I am not good with words nor is my grammar always correct. But if you can overlook that and see my heart in my blog you might find we are kindred spirits. 


I don't want you to get the wrong impression. I am not perfect nor is my family. This is a blog, not reality. My son is not always a smiling happy baby, my attitude is not always uplifting, my hair is not always "done". When at home you can usually find me in sweats, I try to pretend I don't see the ever growing laundry pile, and I should probably give our floor more attention that I currently give it. 


I want my blog to be a place of honesty and a place to be transparent. Please feel free to comment your opinion or experience. After you leave a comment I will head over to your blog to check out your place!

"God’s beauty is found in the love of those around us, in the warmth of family and friends, the sudden inspiration of a Bible verse, the soft fall of a perfectly shaped maple leaf, the help and comfort that comes unasked for, the simple ability to breathe and walk on this good earth. "
