  • TO DADS WITH DAUGHTERS: WHEN SHE’S SMALL: You’ll be her hero. You’ll be her knight in shining armor, the man who saves her from the monsters under her bed. You’ll twirl her through the air, cuddle with her on the couch, & let her have just one more treat after she flashes you that irresistible toothless grin. She’ll let out one of her high-pitched squeals, and come running into your arms every day when you get home from work. She’ll teach you to be a better salesman, as she flashes that winning smile to the customers at her lemonade stand. She’ll teach you to swallow your pride as you dance across the stage at your first daddy-daughter dance. You’ll never run out of songs to sing at karaoke, because you’ll know every word to every Disney song. You’ll live a life full of endless hugs, sass, laughter, & “I love you’s”. She’ll make you a better man. WHEN SHE’S GROWN: You’ll be her hero. You’ll be her knight in shining armor, the man who supports her crazy dreams and saves her when her car breaks down. You’ll be the man who always makes her feel beautiful, reminds her to update her license plate stickers & speak nicely to her mother. She’ll be your pride & joy as she walks across that stage in her cap and gown. You’ll be the man she wants by her side when she walks down the aisle, & you’ll be overwhelmed by her beauty. She’ll never forget to call on your birthday, Father’s Day, & every other day in between. She’ll remind you so much of her mother in the way she nurtures & loves the people around her, and knows how to make everyone feel at home. You’ll live a life full of endless hugs, sass, laughter, & “I love you’s”. She’ll make you a better man. IN YOUR OLD AGE: You’ll be her hero. You’ll be her knight in shining armor, the man who saved her from the monsters under her bed. The man who supported her dreams & rescued her when her car broke down. And as she twirls into the room & offers you one more of the treats she made, you’ll flash her a big toothless grin. Because you lived a life full of endless hugs, sass, laughter, & “I love you’s”. Because she made you a better man. And you’ll thank God for the little princess who made you a king.
  • For those of you who have been asking about all the different coffee drinks I’ve been making in my stories, or who are just plain confused about all the mocha-choca-latte mumbo jumbo on the menu at the coffee shop, I put a little “Barista Training 101” together for you! ⁣😄 ⁣ I even included a cheat sheet, so you can screen shot it and have it in your back pocket the next time you head to Starbucks. You can find it in my stories now, and I’ll also save it in my #baristamari highlights so you can find it later.👍🏼 ☕️#happyfriday
  • My kids have been sick for almost 3 weeks straight. First strep, then an allergic reaction to antibiotics, followed by a nasty stomach bug that is slowly making its way through our house now.⁣ I feel like we’ve been living at the pediatrician’s office. ⁣ And I’m not handling it well. If I’m being honest, this is the one part of motherhood I never handle well. Whenever my kids get sick, my anxiety skyrockets. Instead of being patient and calm and comforting, I find myself freaking out and getting upset about everything. It doesn’t help that little kids have a hard time vocalizing how they’re feeling, which puts me in a panic every time they voice a new ache or pain. I instantly assume the worst, I go down the Google rabbit hole, and I agonize over every symptom.⁣ ⁣ I think part of it is my fear that I’ll miss something and be the reason for something horrible happening to my kids. I’ll wait too long to take them in. I’ll misdiagnose them. Something will happen to my babies on MY watch. And so I overcompensate by being an obsessive hypochondriac whenever an illness strikes.⁣ ⁣ I don’t know why I’m sharing this. Maybe to get it off my chest. Maybe in hopes that someone will say, “me too!” so I don’t feel so crazy, or maybe just to see it written down and re-read it out loud to give myself some perspective.⁣ ⁣ It’s going to be ok. I know it will be ok. God’s got my back. I just need to remember that He loves my babies even more than I do.⁣ ⁣ And in case your burden is heavy today too, or you’re feeling anxious or weary, just know the same goes for you. He’s got your back. ⁣ And IT’S GOING TO BE OK.⁣ ⁣ “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”⁣ -Isaiah 41:10⁣
