run it back with me 🤟🏼 1. Lots of writing - lots. Manuscript deadline is approoooooaching 🤓 any guesses what I’ll be writing about? 2. School drop off shenanigans 3. Date nights 🤍 4. Actually eating breakfast (celebrating this small win, I tend to forget and wonder why I’m hungry around 11 🫠) 5. Rejected naps that turn into classic kid movie debuts 🍿 6. Ultimate nostalgic finds!!! 7. Hasbrowns + garden sections 8. Grounding 9. Popsicle cheers 10. Uncle Ham drop ins + bounce house

For when you want to pray but have no words, liturgies come in really handy 🫶🏼🤍 here are a few words to borrow if/when you need them. My incredible editor @jillian.schlossberg gifted me this fellow @tyndalehouse book and it has blessed me more than she knows. It’s now my go to gift for friends that are parents 🤍 you should add one to your home, too! If you know a friend who is going through one of these, would you send it to them? I just know it’ll bless them socks off.

You know I love to speak from behind the microphone on Real Talk but did you know I also LOVE to speak and give encouragement in real life too?! Some exciting events are happening so soon + we’re building out our calendar for spring and summer speaking engagements. If you have a group, an event, a luncheon and want women to feel championed, inspired to find joy right where they are and fight for friendships, I’d love to be your gal! 🤍🫶🏼 P.S. I LOVE to travel, doesn’t have to be Alabama based!

I just don’t want to be waiting for the extraordinary that I miss out on the beauty of the ordinary. 🤍🌸💕✨❤️‍🩹 1. Matching rain suits is now my love language 2. A front yard full of our neighborhood family 3. Evidence of my brave boy during an ER visit 4. The smiliest 15 month old you’ll ever meet 5. Break and bake cookies made by friends just taste different 6. Borrowing our neighbors swing is now a part of our afternoon routine 7. Picnics (with sunglasses) 8. It takes a village 🫶🏼 9. Bugs Life cuddles + snacks fluttered my heart 10. This view - so much prayer, so many quiet thoughts, so many moments full of wisdom from other women. This spot is sacred 🤍

Laughing + crying at the same time - @jessaconnolly always serving up the WISDOM!! Anyone else feel called out in the best way? 🤪👋🏼 So much truth, so many action steps, so much love in this episode that goes live WEDNESDAY on @realtalkwithrachelawtrey anywhere you listen to podcasts!

New goooooood study alert 🚨 from @lifewaywomen (always with some amazing devotional options)! This is especially good for new believers so if you’re getting familiar with Jesus or know someone who is growing in their faith, this is for them! Comment STUDY and I’ll send you the link to have on hand! Order this devo (or a few) to gift to friends when they’re early in their walk. As a new believer in Jesus, you may be wondering, What now? How do I continue growing in my faith? In a world full of confusing beliefs and persuasive voices, it’s vital to understand and embrace your full identity in Christ as you begin your journey of faith. The Alive Bible study can help. In Alive: Growing in Your Relationship with Jesus, you’ll spend five weeks walking through the basic, fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. #AliveBibleStudy

Teaching my boys it can be both good and hard 🤍🫶🏼 we don’t have to choose between the two. So we do weird things like laugh and cry at the same time, have a birthday party for someone who is gone and no longer aging and dance in the rain. Good and hard, friends ❤️‍🩹
