ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Sydney, the author of this blog. I’m a wife to the love of my life, mama to our precious Dolly Jean, dog-mom to two sweet pups, and flawed lover of Jesus. Follow along with me and my little family on our adventures and hear about what The Lord’s been teaching me!

I stood at the kitchen sink washing a bib and plat I stood at the kitchen sink washing a bib and plate, preparing Dolly Jean’s food while she cried from the living room. She was safe in her pack & play, her diaper had just been changed, but she was ready to eat. I hated hearing my baby cry, but I knew she was okay. And though she couldn’t understand it, I was preparing exactly what she needed, what she was crying for. In just a few minutes, with a plate of yummy breakfast in hand, I would pick her up and her cries would stop. ⠀⠀ Standing over that kitchen sink, my heart realized how many times I have been in her place. I’ve been crying, safe and loved, but crying out to my God. My prayers shouting to him exactly what I wanted, what I needed, but they were met with silence in the moment. I couldn’t see Him. I didn’t recognize the work He was doing. And though I couldn’t understand it, He was preparing exactly what I needed, what I was crying for. ⠀⠀ If you have found yourself in a season of crying out to God, wondering where He is or what He’s doing, remember that your Father in Heaven loves you more than you can imagine. He’s standing in the next room, listening to your cries, preparing exactly what you need. You have not been abandoned. You are not alone. Your God is at work. He hears your every cry. ⠀⠀ “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” - 2 Corinthians 4:18 💗

These are SO cool. @rockabyebabymusic creates lullabies to the tunes of famous hits. Listen for yourself in my stories! Since when does rocking your baby to sleep *actually* rock? 🤘🏼
EIGHT • MONTHS with our love bug ❣️🌹 Doll EIGHT • MONTHS with our love bug ❣️🌹 Dolly girl is crawling!!! • she wants to stand up 24/7, but gets mad when she falls down • waves “hi” & dances on command • thinks diaper changes are the worst thing in the world • still teething & still waiting for proof • learning what “no ma’am” means & thinks it’s funny 🥴
I haven’t personally dealt with postpartum depre I haven’t personally dealt with postpartum depression, but I do know how lonely being a new mom can feel, and I recognize how quickly and easily that can spiral into something bigger. I also know that being a mama, the responsibility is heavy, but the duty is the greatest honor. ⠀⠀ If you got anything from my “postpartum thoughts” blog post last month, I hope it was this: there is no better mama on this planet for your baby except for you. No one. No one could do it better. YOU are the best mama for your baby. You were given that baby (or babies) because you are the girl for the job. ⠀⠀ If you are facing a hard time as a mom, please know you’re not alone. There can be beauty from ashes and light in darkness, so don’t lose hope. My inbox is open if you want someone to talk to, and there’s nothing wrong with seeking help if needed. May you find purpose in your pain. ⠀⠀ But postpartum depression is very real, so let’s talk about it. ❤️

I’ll be honest, I’ve put our marriage on the b I’ll be honest, I’ve put our marriage on the back burner more times than I can count since our daughter was born... ⠀⠀ I’ve talked to other wives who feel the same way, and figured this would be a sweet reminder to myself and anyone else who feels they could be putting more effort into their marriage. ⠀⠀ So whether you’re a newlywed or seasoned spouse, I feel like you could gain something from these tips I’ve learned in our three short years of marriage (or if you’re just looking for some date night ideas, I’ve got some of those too). ❤️ ⠀⠀ Read my latest blog post at www.meeklyloving.com!

She’ll get fussy (which I mean, who wouldn’t?) and we end up having a slower day than planned + additional cuddles, which isn’t necessary a bad trade-off. 😉 In the end I always feel refreshed, but my mind wanders back to all the "things" I should have been doing instead. ⠀⠀ What I’m still learning and trying to remind myself daily is that the “things” I need to do aren’t nearly as important as the moments I get to spend with this little lady, but the time I spend on those things will never be given back. As satisfying as marking through each task in my planner is, I’d rather be holding my baby until she no longer fits in my arms. 💛
you are loved, little one 💕 you are loved, little one 💕
