Just a Bit of Yellow

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and all opinions expressed are my own. 

Nothing makes me happier then getting pictures taken of my sweet family. I have an over the top love for photos. The first thing I did when I walked into our new home was look around and see where I could hang pictures. A picture is a great way to capture a moment in time to remember for years to come. I love having pictures that document every year of our life together as a family, and especially watching my children grow over the years.

Our gift last Christmas to my in-laws was family photos. They hadn’t had any done since my brother-in-law got married and the grand babies had been born. So we waited for both the little girls to be a little bit older and then scheduled a time to get them done. I treasure these special photos. I was so blessed to marry into a loving family, they are just as much my family as my own.

This picture is especially precious to my heart because of the way these two love my babies. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

When putting together our outfits for family photos, I knew I wanted to put Elyse in yellow. So I found her outfit and worked everyone else off of her. I had the perfect idea to add just a bit of yellow to my outfit to tie in with hers and I reached out to The Vintage Honey Shop to add one of their beautiful pieces into my outfit. The Vintage Honey Shop makes beautiful nursing and teething necklaces for the modern mama. They are absolutely gorgeous and it looks like a beautiful accessory around your neck, but it is perfectly safe for your little to chew on and play with. The second I put the necklace on and picked Elyse up she reached right for it. It was like she knew it was made with her in mind. I loved knowing it was perfectly safe for her to hold onto and not having to worry about her breaking it.

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
