lately in photos

It is time for an update on all things Texas! We’ve been here for 7 weeks and so far it feels like a blur! lol! Each day has been full and busy with getting unpacked and trying to entertain the kids! We’ve also thrown in dentist and doctor appointments, touring multiple ballet studios, VBS and…

get lost in your season mama, you are where you need to be

I stood in the kitchen making taco meat last night, but standing was even too much. I grabbed a stool to continue stirring while I listened to the kids chatter and Matt tell me about his day.  I was tired. Really tired. And as I served up the plates my insides were begging for someone…

the mattering things

I could hear the rumbling and wrestling upstairs after the dinner plates had been cleared. I could see this was as good of an opportunity as I would get….and I could feel the lump in my throat and the pit in my stomach knowing deep down he needed to hear the words my heart had…

facing my giants in scottsdale, az

When I was little I used to wear my coat in every new situation and not take it off until I felt comfortable. On the first day of school, every single year, I would get sick and throw up from the nerves of starting over again and having to meet new people. Every time we…

Monterey Hotel and real life

This past weekend Matt and I got to get away together. His mom flew out to help watch three of the kids and two of them went to my brother and sister-in-law’s house. We love that they are willing to help us out and all of the kids had a great time. Even though I’m…

difficult friendships and good confrontation

A few months ago I tried to speak with a friend about something troubling my heart. I felt a wedge growing between us and didn’t want it to be there. Maybe it was on my end, maybe it was on hers. Maybe it was both. Finding out seemed to be the most loving thing I…

Day 3 at Glorieta 📸🛴🌺🔥 We started the Day 3 at Glorieta 📸🛴🌺🔥

We started the day with breakfast and family photos—and with pink and purple flowers blooming everywhere and mountain views in every direction, it felt like we were stepping straight into a postcard.

After lunch, the big kids, Matt and I got to ride giant scooters down a mountain (and let’s just say… that may end up being their highlight of the week). 

Then we cleaned up and dressed up for luau night! There was Italian ice, limbo, and laughter all around—but the real fun kicked off with the family relay competition.

Team PINK (that’s us 💗) gave it everything we had. Matt hit a bullseye in corn hole and memorized part of a book of the Bible, then passed the pool noodle baton to Canon, who leapt into the lake and climbed the lily pads. 

Next was Kate and me—Kate blindfolded on a paddleboard while I guided her across the lake. She absolutely crushed it!

From there, it was one wild adventure after another: a race to the giant airbag jump, a speedy waterslide for Crew, a blob launch for Kai and Corban, and a full-on footrace (thanks to our track star, Kai!) to unscramble a Bible verse. 

And… PINK TEAM WON! Our camp guide, Claire (who we adore), told us it was her first-ever family win!

We finished the night with s’mores around the fire, sticky fingers, and incredibly full hearts.

One thing we’ve loved about Glorieta is how it reminds us that loving one another doesn’t happen in a rush. Connecting as a family happens with slowing down, around campfires and among the pine trees. In shared laughs, team challenges, and intentional devotional time. 

This is the kind of purposeful, joy-filled living we want more of. The kind that brings families together. 

Thank you to Glorieta for creating such an incredible environment for families to connect.

Day 2 at Glorieta 🌲🎯🐰 We woke up to moun Day 2 at Glorieta 🌲🎯🐰

We woke up to mountain air and breakfast in NM Hall, then hopped on the red shuttle truck affectionately named Clifford to kick off the day. Archery and slingshots started us off strong (no one lost an eye—success!), followed by a hike, bunny snuggles, and stick races in the river.

From corn hole and connect four, to hammocks and water pumps, to ping pong and football in the commons… the kids were everywhere and loving every minute. Worship was one of my favorite parts of the day—open windows, mountain breezes, and voices singing truth into the warm summer air. 

The teaching and family devo stirred up some beautiful conversations, and we began creating our family seal with string art (I LOVED this idea!)

Later, Matt and I had a sweet little date night, followed by fireside time for the guys and a painting class for the ladies. Dessert? A cherry crumble baked in cast iron skillets over the fire—yes, please. 

And just when we thought the night was winding down, the “snow hill” surprised us all… not snow, but soap and sprinklers! We laughed, sledded, and squealed like little kids in the middle of July.

I can’t say enough about how intentional the Glorieta staff has been. Every detail is thought through—from the big things down to the tiniest touches. 

This place makes rest easy for families. It’s simple and spacious, with something for every age—from babies to teens to adults.

So grateful for this sacred little slice of summer.

First Day at Glorieta 🌄 We’ve always dreamed First Day at Glorieta 🌄

We’ve always dreamed of doing a family camp—and this summer, with it being Kate’s last one before college, we knew the time was now.

This video is from our first full day at Glorieta, and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. 

The mountains took our breath away, the green fields felt like a deep exhale, and wildflowers lined the path like lovely little reminders of God’s grace, beauty and joy.

The staff greeted us with genuine kindness, helped us get checked in, and even gave us a welcome bag filled with snacks and a handwritten note. 

Already our family is loving it here—and after tonight’s color war kickoff (yes, I wore a shower cap under my bandana to protect the hair 😄 (@austen.thelightcollective you’d be so proud of me for keeping my hair safe), we’re all in. The food has been great, the activities a blast and the devotional time so refreshing. 

And yet, our hearts are still tethered to South Texas. The loss of so many young campers due to the recent flooding has left a deep ache. We are continuing to hold those families in our hearts this week as we step into this gift of time together—grateful, sobered, and present.

May we never take these moments for granted.
Every breath, every laugh, every mountain view… it’s all grace, none of it deserved.

As a mama just hearing that a child is missing is As a mama just hearing that a child is missing is enough to undo you. Because once you’ve held your own baby in your arms, you know. 

You know the wild love. 

The fear. 

The desperate prayers. 

The feeling of your heart walking around outside your body.

The loss of these families is all too much to bear.

The ache of not being able to protect them.

The breathless panic.

The helplessness when you’d do anything—anything—but can’t do a thing.

I cannot stop thinking of the moms and dads who are aching. Hurting. Longing. 
I weep with them.

Lord, be near.
Wrap them in Your love.
O Jesus, hold them.
