Can we just take a minute to appreciate Dolly’s Can we just take a minute to appreciate Dolly’s enthusiasm for the camera? 👏🏻 I am cracking up! There’s no one standing behind it. It’s just sitting on a tripod. 🤣 A+ for being the best Instagram child out there. 🏆 ⁣ But honestly, I usually have to bribe her to get her to stand still. Snacks, toys, books, candy — anything for the gram, right? 🙈 Photos like these will be so much fun to look back on someday! ⁣ How do you get your littles to stay still for photos?
I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I don’t I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I don’t give myself enough credit, and I bet you don’t either. ⁣ Whatever season you’re in right now, whether at the top of a mountain or in the depths of a valley, give yourself grace. ⁣ There are days where I genuinely feel like I’m kicking life’s butt, and other days where I’ve shed a few tears before 9AM. But you know what? That’s life, y’all. ⁣ There are days I pray for patience — and when God gives me opportunities to be patient, I fail. I fall short. Yet, every night I go to bed knowing that tomorrow is a new day and how I approach it is up to me. ⁣ So whatever path you’re on, give yourself credit... and a lot of grace. Because I know we could all use more of it. ❤️
I hope she’s never too cool for me 🖤 Who am I I hope she’s never too cool for me 🖤 Who am I kidding? She’s already cooler than me 😜 I can’t wait until we can share a closet, but for now she’s the best dressed in the house 😎
Swipe to see how excited she gets to eat candy now Swipe to see how excited she gets to eat candy now that she knows what it is 🍭🍬 I’ve created a monster 🙈 ⁣ I’m sure we’ve all said “I would never do that” about something pre-kids, but have probably changed our minds at some point 🤣 tell me your stories!
I wanted to make yearly family photo books, and I’ll be honest: I just finished the very first one. 🤣 Does anybody else get WAY behind on things like that? Just me? ⁣ I kept telling myself I’d set aside a few hours to tackle it, but 4 years and a baby later, I finally did it 🙌🏻 I guess time never really slows down... now to catch up on the other 3 scrapbooks before we get into 2021 😅 ⁣ Annnd let’s not even mention Dolly’s baby book 🙈 ⁣ This is your reminder to stop waiting for time to magically appear & go finish that task you’ve been putting off forever!
Wow, I’ve prayed for this. It’s here, this is Wow, I’ve prayed for this. It’s here, this is happening. 🤍 ⁣ I still can’t believe that every day I get to wake up and live out my dream of being a momma. ⁣ Something I heard while I was pregnant was “there is always someone else praying for what you have now,” and it’s the most humbling reminder to never take our blessings for granted. ⁣ It’s easy to want bigger or better versions of what we already have, or be jealous of others who have more. But we rarely take the time to think about those whose hearts are aching for what we have. ⁣ While I don’t know what our future holds, being this girl’s momma is the biggest blessing — and for that I’ll be forever grateful. 💗
When I was single, I wanted to be dating. When I w When I was single, I wanted to be dating. When I was dating, I wanted to be engaged. When I was engaged, I wanted to be married. Once I got married, next I wanted a dog, then a baby. ⁣ If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking forward to the next step of whatever season of life you’re in. ⁣ But why rush it? We should make the most of where we are now, because we’ll never get these moments back. It’s as if we’re in such a hurry to wish away the past, and sometimes even the present, for a future we cannot guarantee. ⁣ Something I constantly have to remind myself is this: plans will change and things will go "wrong" according to my own agenda. I will get lost on the path I made for my own success, but you know what? ⁣ I’m not in control. God’s plan is perfect & WILL prevail. ❤️
The bigger the bow, the closer to Jesus, right? 🤩
