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 …
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, it’s what I was diagnosed with last week after doing testing and lab work. Honestly, I’m not even too upset about it, though there’s no cure. But thankfully, it’s not a life threatening condition, just something I will have to adjust life around for the foreseeable future. The good part? I …
Been a bit of a whirlwind this past month. We’re finally getting back into a new norm after the holidays, and doing a little better at managing things. 😄 So here’s the scoop on little bubs ties. At Harrison’s 2 month checkup in December, I found out he was very slow at gaining weight. To …

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
19 months. It seems it just was the right time with both of my sweet babies. My sweet girl just finished nursing 2 weeks ago and it was a smooth transition for which I’m so thankful. After a much harder time with my firstborn I’m so happy to say this one was much easier. She …
