Sharing real life as a young mamma just wanting to do it differently. A whole lot of grace and a little bit of lace.
I’ve gotten thru mooost of the unpacking and laundry from our trip, and so I’m sitting down justifying a minute to myself to share all about our trip this last week. We had so much fun and it honestly felt so surreal taking our first, just us, family vacation with our five-some. Where did we …
Has it really been a month already? Wow, does time go by faster with each kid! It feels like we just brought him home from the hospital last week. But anyways, it’s been a whirlwind of a first month. This being my 3rd baby I honestly didn’t have too many assumptions for what the first …
Our homeschooling journey begins. It’s 4am and I can’t sleep. I’m so excited for my boy as we start Kindergarten today. I cannot wait for the many adventures ahead as we homeschool. Even more so excited am I that I have the opportunity to do this. I am so thankful for the role model I …

Did I really just type that title? Kind of feels so weird because it’s been such a huge part of my dedication to this pregnancy. As most of you know I had to take the 1 hour glucose test as well as the 3 hr at 8-10 weeks this pregnancy as I had GDM with …
First off. This has been one of the most difficult articles to write. It’s been in my drafts for over 2 years now. But after writing and re-writing, I realized I needed to just complete it. It’s my why for everyday, and one of the most important choices that I made years ago.🫶 I’m in …
Our family is pretty excited to head to Church camp for a week starting tomorrow! I wanted to have a quiet lap book that each kid could use for chapel time each night and so I got on Pinterest and found a bunch of ideas and pieced them together to make 2 of my own …
We are so excited to share that baby Racine #3 is coming in October! I did a recent Q&A answering all the questions about this pregnancy and will link it HERE! We are thankful for this growing little life and for our growing little family. God has blessed us richly! Xoxo, Shantel
