Hey sweet friend, last summer I had the honor of being featured on Proverbs 31, sharing a super tender moment as a mom. It was one of those days when I LOST IT and ugly cried on the kitchen floor (I know you’ve been there).
The beautiful thing though, is that God taught me something REALLY IMPORTANT that day. And now… years later, I still think about it DAILY.
So if you’ve ever had one of those days (or weeks or months) where you’re completely and utterly drowning… or you realize you’re in over your head and FEEL LIKE YOU CANNOT DO THIS…then this article is for you.

T-minus two weeks until we no longer have a kitchen in our home!! We’ve already begun emptying cabinet and the boys ripped out the built-in buffet a few days ago. I’m not gonna lie, I’m CRAZY excited…but I’m mega freaking out at the idea of having all the kids home during summer and not knowing when we’ll have a working kitchen again since a large portion of our cabinets are backordered.
BUT…Gahhhh….I’m here for it.
I have a fun video for you, but before you watch…
Check out how the house looked when we moved in six years ago.

If you’ve ever been to my home…or followed me on Instagram for very long, you’ll know how much I loooooove our hanging chair. In fact, our family has coined it, “Mama Bird’s Roost” because I can always be found snuggled up in it reading.
Although (sadly) ours isn’t sold anymore, I thought I’d share some other favorites that ARE available! They come in varying price points so if you want to cry because the one you love breaks the bank…just keep looking! You’ll find a great one even without a massive budget.
Here are 12 REALLY cute ones…and one that LOOKS like a hanging chair, but isn’t!

If you’d rather poke your eyes out than create anything hand-made, by all means relive yourself of that and purchase what you need in life. We should never EVER feel like we have to do ALL the things seen while scrolling Instagram and Pinterest.
Celebrate what brings YOU joy!
Just do the few things that feel good and fill you up.
I want you to intentionally set down the balls that aren’t for you in this season, so nothing comes tumbling down out of stress or feelings of inadequacy. Why? Because a mom with too many balls in the air is going to drop some. Let’s be intentional in what is set down…not drop whatever happens to feel too-much (dropping important or life-giving things is never good)…

We’ve lived in our current home for six years and have basically just put lipstick on the pig. We’ve painted, redone some of the floors, put in some new light fixtures. You know, easy-ish stuff.
We’ve been patiently (read: me NOT so patiently) awaiting the time when we could start ripping things out and truly getting our hands dirty.
Now is FINALLY the time! (cue the crowd screaming or me making weird fake-crowd noises with my mouth). We start mid-June! Check out this post for SCARY BEFORE PHOTOS, access to our Pinterest board, and make sure you keep checking back for loads of inspiration!
I’ve had my left ear triple-pierced since college and have always loved wearing the teeniest of studs in them. Lately, though, I’ve found a bunch of darling tiny hoops + other styles on Amazon that I love mixing and matching.
Thought I’d share some of my favorites (and some I’m totally buying next)!!
