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!

Excuse me miss, can I get that outfit in my size? Excuse me miss, can I get that outfit in my size? 😉 ⁣ Dolly all of a sudden outgrew all her clothes in the same week, so I’m in the process of re-stocking her closet 🛍 What are some of your favorite places to shop for your littles?!
I’ve been praying about if, when, or how I shoul I’ve been praying about if, when, or how I should share this, because it can be a sensitive topic. But there may be someone else walking through a difficult season who needs some encouragement. ⁣ TTC (trying to conceive) isn’t always easy. This time around has been an emotional rollercoaster for me — with each month that goes by, feelings of hope and defeat repeat over and over (I shared a bit about this on my stories today). ⁣ I got to a point where I would scroll through Instagram and NO posts would please me: Why is that momma’s pregnancy so easy? Why isn’t she struggling? Why is the mom of two complaining about her kids? She should be grateful... ⁣ But then I realized that *I* was the one who needed to be grateful. I was letting jealousy and resentment into my heart, just because somebody else was one step ahead of me. I’ve always said that I want my Instagram page to be an encouragement to others, but it started to become difficult to do so when I was feeling defeated myself. ⁣ So I took a break. There were a few months where all I did was post my own photos, respond to messages, and nothing else. And honestly, I might continue doing so. I even had to mute a few accounts of friends I truly care about, because I didn’t want to see the highlight reels of their lives. AND THAT’S OKAY. ⁣ Throughout those months, I was able to reset and rediscover the joys of friendship, motherhood and steadfast worship so that I can be a better steward of this space. While I’ve found comfort in God’s sovereignty, that doesn’t mean each pregnancy or birth announcement doesn’t sting when I see it. ⁣ Ultimately, I want to bring hope and encouragement to this space, cheering you on in whatever season you’re in, and I can only do that with Jesus. And I plan to share more about what he’s been teaching me lately, but it’s too much for just one little caption. So stay tuned. 🤍
Maybe if I stop taking pictures of her, she’ll s Maybe if I stop taking pictures of her, she’ll stop looking like a teenager... right? Is that how it works? 😅🆘 this little mama needs to stop growing up!!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Ins If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Instagram world, it’s this: I must fill up my own cup in order to overflow to others. ⁣ I always hope to make my little corner of the internet an encouraging space, but it’s difficult to do so when I’m pouring from an empty cup. ⁣ So I’ve decided that I’m going to put more effort into taking care of myself and those around me first. ⁣ My word of the year for 2021 will be NURTURE: the process of caring for and encouraging the growth or development of someone or something. ⁣ I want to nurture my physical health by staying active and strengthening my body. ⁣ I want to nurture my home by making it a place where everyone feels welcome. ⁣ I want to nurture my faith by prioritizing the Lord in all seasons. ⁣ I want to nurture my relationships by checking-in on friends and cheering them on. ⁣ I want to nurture my hobbies by giving myself time to learn and grow. ⁣ “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” — Romans 12:2 ⁣ Read the blog post at www.meeklyloving.com 🖤 ⁣ Tell me the word or resolutions you’ve chosen for this year!

What should you do when someone or something tries What should you do when someone or something tries to rain on your parade? You put on your (cute as can be) rain boots on and dance in it. ☔️ ⁣ Okay, I know. Easier said than done. It's maybe worth a shot, though. The number of days we have on earth is too short to even consider wallowing in the rain when it comes. ⁣ There are going to be hard days. There are going to be heavy days. We are going to get hurt. Things aren't always going to go how we planned, and that's just the reality. ⁣ I want to encourage you to live with sunshine in your heart even if/when it gets rainy. Give grace to others AND YOURSELF. Don't neglect how you feel, but also — don't get stuck there. I dare you to put your boots on, go outside and dance. Ain't nobody raining on your parade!!!
Do you have any hidden talents?! ⁣ Here are mine Do you have any hidden talents?! ⁣ Here are mine: • I can juggle • I can wiggle my ears • I can type over 100 words per minute 🤓 Tell me yours in the comments!
