Why triple down? Well, good question! TRIPLE DOWN: to strengthen one’s commitment to a particular strategy or course of action, typically one that is potentially risky. Or simply stated to double down even harder. Our house right now is me, Kristina; my husband, Matt; and our three biological children. Charlee (the oldest) has a strong […]

Have you Heard of Her? That Girl There Once Was.
Have you heard of her? That girl there once was. She was bright-eyed and full of life. You know, that girl you saw walking home from school just to throw off her backpack and run back outside to meet her best friend in the woods across the street. No, not to be lost forever, but […]
I Macheted A Chicken This Week!
I macheted a chicken this week. What did you do? No, but seriously it was awful! I am a huge believer in dogs going through the stages of grief the same way people do. Bo was Buck’s best friend. We got Buck as a puppy when Bo was just over 1. They were instant friends. […]
God, Bless This Mess!
Y’all, all I can say after this week is, “God, bless this mess!” What a week it has been. I knew it was going to be a busy week and weekend, but never could I have prepared for the tears. I have another craft show lined up for Saturday, but sold a good amount of […]
The Delicacy of Sex! Let’s talk about it, Friends!
Ok ladies! I am just going to say it. Sex in marriage is very important. There I said it. This post may get awkward, I know. I am writing this from my interpretation on the Biblical stance of sex and marriage, so if you aren’t down with that then you can stop reading. YET I […]
In my Exhausting, Busy, Sleepless Life I can still Simply say, “The Lord is Calling You”.
Have you ever been overwhelmed with the pressure to tell others about God? I mean, Jesus did say in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Back when I was in college I would attend the […]

But For This Purpose!
Recently, God reminded me of a very important aspect of His goodness during a moment of frantic searching for peace. Our family has been through quite a lot lately —maybe one day I can elaborate, but for today it is our story to keep. I sat down and opened my Bible, not knowing where to […]
Pick up those Broken Ones, People!
Hey Friends! I know it has been a minute since I have posted, but Mother’s Day weekend was amazing and I was able to clear my head enough to write. Us moms get so drained sometimes that even thinking is too much for us to do. I saw an Instagram post this week that said […]
We did It! 1st week all back to SCHOOL!
Never thought the day would come. All six kids went back to in-person school, I went back to work and Matt and I realized just how busy we are going to be. Our situation is quite crazy yet very much due to divine planning from our Father! We fell in love with a house on […]
Renew my Spirit, Refresh my Soul & Give Strength to my Physical Body
I have been reading through the book of John and, while I have done so many times before, this time God gave me a lens of renewal. Along with so many of you, I have been just.plain.dead. I am tired of being stuck in the house, I am tired of having no motivation to do […]
