Em and I were laughing as she took this and I'm not the biggest fan of corny pregnancy pictures BUT I know I will treasure this photo of my 4th baby for life.  Can't wait to see that little face.

it is well with my soul.

playdate cocktails

CZ and I have been making this little cocktail non-stop.  Credit all goes to her for the invention.  She whipped it up when she realized she was running low on lemonade and had guests requesting it.  

I prefer heavy on the coconut sparkling water with a splash of lemonade.  I think adding a little vodka or prosecco would also be amazing.

I highly recommend pairing this with a bruschetta plate or caprese salad, our two favorite summer (mamas only) playdate snacks.  

not a microwaveable good.

Blessings, after all, are not so cookie-cutter. We understand that sometimes in God’s economy, blessings are not served on a silver platter. They are good — wonderfully good — but it’s not a microwavable good. It’s more like the long, tireless trek up a mountain, the kind that makes you stop and question whether you’ll actually make it, but when you do, fills you with a deep contentment only possible at the altitude in which you stand.  -Jonathan Parnell
