Meet Carley

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Carley.I’m a sinner saved by grace; and I try my hardest each day to love Jesus, my family, and people as best I can. I fail a lot at that. I’m also a wife, mom of 2 boys, nurse, and educator. I think life is generally hard. And I think anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Despite the difficulties in the day to day, I also know in my core that life is full of beauty, joy, and meaning. Sometimes (myself included) it can be hard to find the joy — to see it — to feel it — to appreciate it. Becoming a mother is one of the most fulfilling, beautiful, joyful experiences a woman can have, but it’s also one of the most difficult. My three hopes for this blog site are:

1. To share practical tips I’ve learned along the way that helps make motherhood easier and to build a network of resources that you can draw upon for support and education in times of uncertainty.
2. To share some of our household staple meals and recipes that are delicious, toddler approved, and will hopefully make your week-night meal planning easier.
3. Most importantly, I hope to help you see the joy in both the easy days and the difficult ones by sharing God’s word and reflecting on the lessons the Spirit and the Word have taught me.

I hope this page finds you in a time when you needed it most and I hope it can serve as a reliable source of information and guidance. Thank you for being here on this journey with me. I look forward to connecting with you!

All my love,

Carley
