reintroduction.


Hi. My name is Tiffani and I care way too much what other people think about me.

That is just the plain and simple truth. I think it's partially due to the fact that I know some of the things I have done in my lifetime are easy to judge, are easy to call me out on. But I have to remember that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23, emphasis added). Everyone has areas people can judge them in. I am no exception to that. Some of my sins, the things I have been judged on, may be more evident than sins of others but we are all sinners. I am a sinner.  I've got to learn to not be discouraged by the judgement and instead just loving and accepting of others as Christ would have me to be. And willing to share the things I feel lead to share knowing that I may in turn help someone else and encourage them. 

Hi. I am a mother who strives to love her children daily but may fail at keeping the house clean and dinner on the table. 

I strive to be the perfect wife and mother. Clean house, happy kids, healthy, organic meals on the table--you know, the whole nine yards. But let's be honest, there are mornings like today were I have on my husband's t-shirt and some leggings and have uncombed wet hair because my precious baby girl is sick. Instead of being inside the house cleaning every inch and disinfecting it, I am sitting in my driveway, in my car, typing this post while my Lila Mae sleeps of the dreaded, horrible stomach bug going around. My bed needs made. There are dishes to be done. And yes, there are now mountains of laundry to be done due to said dreaded stomach bug. That's real life.



I could go on. But mainly this post is sort of like a re-introduction to my imperfect world. I want this blog to be a place were you can come to laugh at my momma failures or read about my faith and love for Christ and maybe be uplifted and inspired. Or just read about my love for my husband, my love of motherhood, and my love of being a pastor's wife. My life is not perfect. Some days I want to pull my hair out. Some days I just want to sit and cry. Some days are beautiful, glorious, and happy. But everyday I am me--a Christian, wife, and momma--and that's just were I want to be.

december goals.


Better late than never yes?

one// blog more. pretty simply put I would say. I always say I'm going to blog more and this month, I'm really going to try to even though I know this is one crazy busy month.

two// remember the reason for the season. Once again, simply put. I have been going over the story of  Jesus and his birth with the kiddos and I truly love it.

three// give. This season is about giving as well and I don't want to forget to give.
