After years of saying “I”m never having kids” God changed my heart overnight and I stepped into the greatest blessing. Now, I help women find joy in motherhood, and spend more time reading the Bible.

5 Ways to Introduce Your Toddler to Jesus
5 Ways to Introduce Your Toddler to Jesus

So… are we going today? I asked my husband every Sunday morning, knowing neither of us wanted to show up at church. We always left the decision to the last minute, and sleeping in usually won. Church didn’t feel like a priority.

But when I was pregnant with my daughter, everything changed.

I imagined the life I wanted for our kids, and I knew I wanted God to be a part of it. There was no longer room to be passive about my faith I was going to be responsible for discipling another person.

5 Must-Read Books for Christian Moms

I learned more in my first few months as a mom than in my whole life before that. I also had dozens of new topics to binge audiobooks on including breastfeeding, baby sleep and more.

As I read and learned more about motherhood, I realized I don't want to get so focused on the tangible everyday needs that I forget to care for our souls. I want to be constantly learning how to be a godly wife and mother. I want to be continually pointing my kids back to God and modelling what it looks like to depend on Him and walk closely with Him.

How to Read Your Bible With a Toddler Around
How to Read Your Bible With a Toddler Around

Life seems to be constantly changing, and do my Bible-reading routines. It looked different when pregnant with my first, as a new mom, with two-under-two and now with a toddler and baby in my care. Sometimes, I miss those days of unstructured quiet time where each precious second of quiet didn’t feel quite so urgent.

The busier life gets, the harder it feels to prioritize reading the Bible in rare moments when both my kids are occupied. If I have a moment to sit, or I could be working on a household task, choosing the Bible feels hard and unproductive.

In this post, I’m sharing 5 ways to entertain your toddler as you try to grab a few moments in God’s word.

18 | Fifteen-Month Age Gap Pros and Cons

About a year ago, my search history looked like this: “Pros and cons of the 15-month age gap?” “What is the best age gap?” “Two under two tips” "Should I have my kids close in age?" It feels surreal being on the other side of the transition and able to share my own experience as a two-under-two mom. Spoiler alert - we love our small age gap! If you're looking for a positive perspective on two under two and the 15 month age gap, this is it! I'm sharing both pros and cons, but in my opinion, the pros heavily outweigh the cons.
