Fall is quickly becoming one of my favorite seasons. There is something so refreshing about that cool crisp breeze that begins to blow after a long hot summer. The summers here in the Midwest are HOT. It gets so humid, and with the heat index, we don’t spend a lot of time outside. I just cannot handle sitting in that suffocating heat. So when Fall comes, it’s a very welcomed season. The minute September hits, our city has so many events for families that we find every weekend filling fast. It’s interesting this year to have all three kids in different stages. Four, Two, and an Infant really are a lot different, so it makes outings a bit of an adventure. But we don’t want to miss out on everything the Fall has to offer before the long cold days of winter come in. We are always looking for fun fall activities that we can do with toddlers and a baby in tow!

Our Nido Mini from BBLuv has made having a baby during this season a breeze! Gone are the days I am stuck holding the baby or lugging the car seat around for him to sit in some shade while we are outside. The Nido Mini has been our perfect companion for all our adventures. It has soft padding for laying Jude down, a visor to block the sun, and even a net to keep bugs out! I love not having to worry about the baby when I want to enjoy some outside adventuring with the two older kids.

I think Fall just screams out an invitation for adventure, and if you’re looking for things you can do in your own back yard I’ve got a list for you!

Fall Activities for Toddlers:

Collect Leaves. This one may seem obvious, but do you know how much you can do with leaves?! Send your kids out with a bag and have them fill it with different color leaves. It’s such an easy activity that can keep them busy for quite sometime. You can then have them sort the leaves by color, place them under a sheet of paper to color over, stick them to contact paper…the possibilities are endless! While you’re at it, be sure to collect enough to jump in!

Go on a Scavenger Hunt! My kids absolutely LOVE this one! Who doesn’t like running all over the place looking for some precious treasure? There are so many ideas for a scavenger hunt. You can look for rocks, animals, trees, different color leaves, the list goes on!

Pumpkin Painting. It’s not Fall if you don’t paint a pumpkin! Pumpkin painting is perfect for toddlers because there are no knives involved. We painted our pumpkins last year and it was such a fun memory with the kids that I can’t wait to do it again this year!

Throw a Fall Party! Sometimes you just need to break out the fall decor, some yummy food, and get messy! Have some friends over and have your own backyard fall party! Check out one we did last year here. This is definitely on our list this year, we had a blast!

Take advantage of the beautiful season change this year and get out there and make memories with your kids! Even with a baby it can be done!

Tell me, what is one of your favorite things to do with the kids in the Fall?

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.
