Miss Isabella is 2 today!! She has a Chewbacca themed birthday and I can't wait to share all the details with you! I am super into celebrating life and creating these birthday memories is important to me. Izzy, you are loved beyond words 💕🎉 Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!

I was in the mood to bake, so I decided to make a Spring Cake! I originally planned on making baked meringue bunny ears to go on top of the cake, but was too tired to do it 🙈 so let's pretend the Photoshop ears are real! 🐰 ⁣ This is a homemade gluten and dairy free fresh lemon cake with fresh raspberry/strawberry filling (last pic is of the cake layers). The buttercream frosting is also dairy free. This is the first time I've done something so detailed and with smooth icing. It was a lot of fun and it's super delicious!

It's Good Friday ✨ Easter is a time of reflection and celebration in our family. We reflect on the depth and truth of our Lord and Savior dying, then raising from the dead in three days, ascending to heaven to be with the Father, fulfilling the prophecy we read about in the Bible, and waiting to return again to bring his people home. The resurrection is such a joyous thing that we try to keep in mind every day and not just around Easter! Praise be to God for loving us so much that he sent his son to die for us and save us from our wretchedness, giving those he has called eternal life with him! Oh how we long for the return of Jesus! No more sorrow, pain, brokenness, anguish.. only joy, celebration, and worship of our Lord! What a joyous lot to celebrate! ❤️⁣ I encourage you to read slowly and reflect on Romans 8. • Soli Deo Gloria • ⁣ How does your family celebrate Easter?⁣ ⁣ (If you're looking for a church stream to watch this Sunday, let me know and I can send you one 😊)

We miss our @cardinals baseball! ❤️⚾

Isabella's crib was upgraded to a toddler bed yesterday! She was so excited that she said "night night" and ran to go lay in bed about 20 times (no exaggeration) before it was bedtime 😂 She did really well for her first night, we only had to tell her to get back in bed 3 times, and we found her this morning exactly as we expected to: in the rocking chair reading books! 😂🥰 (See stories for more pictures) 🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻 🔴Crib is a "grow with me" bed from @davincibabyusa 🔴Canopy, string lights, pillow case, and ballerina are from @target 🔴Crib Sheet is @elysandco 🔴Polar Bear (Stella) and Deer (Violet) are from @cuddleandkind

Haven't you heard? Pink is the new blonde. 🌸 Absolutely loving how my hair turned out! Do yourself (and your stylist) a favor and don't cut your hair or dye/bleach it while you're at home. If you want to do something new, I highly suggest a color conditioner! It doesn't have bleach or hash chemicals in it so it's safe for your hair. I used Strawberry Jam from @limecrimemakeup and couldn't be happier! 💕😊 If you have brown hair, I suggest looking into @overtonecolor at their "for brown hair" colors! Let me know if you want a discount for either and I'll get one to you!! 🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻 Lipstick is Bare All lined with Rumor from @pytbeauty - also using their brow pencil 🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻 Earrings are from @thesparkledshell 🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻 Lashes are @toribellecosmetics get them through @diylashstudio

Me Socializing During Quarantine Like:

It's okay to grieve. We're all experiencing some sort of loss right now, whether it's work, an event, a trip, or our normal routine, it's a loss. It's something odd and special to see the whole world experiencing this type of grief at the same time. It's caused me a lot of anxiety and I've seen the same in many of my friends. For us, we've had to cancel Isabella's birthday party that we had moved up to have family time before her new uncle is deployed. I have had events canceled that means no income coming in from me. Getting out of our cramped apartment and looking for a house is put on hold. A completely new routine for all of us with my husband working from home in our 3 room apartment. Our daughter has been going absolutely crazy since she can't go outside. It's rough.▪️ What's been going on with you and your family? Feel free to tell me what's happening with you and your family 👇 I'm praying for y'all to find comfort and peace 💕

If you can't find your usual brand of diapers during this unusual time, I suggest trying out All Good at Walmart. These were sent complimentary to me from Influenster. They're soft, flexible, and free of fragrance! Buying 1 box of All Good diapers = 1 Days worth of diapers donated to Feeding America ✨ How awesome is that??? ❤️ #AllGoodDiapers #Complimentary @Influenster @AllGoodDiapers @walmart

Have you heard of the @hamicobrush baby toothbrush? Izzy is completely in love with her "Quack Quack" toothbrush! See my review of this awesome brush on my blog: link in my bio 🦆✨🦷

On Friday our furnace went out. It was getting too cold in the house so we sent the kids to stay with my parents until it was fixed. Finally fixed on Monday so we were going to pick them up after Mark came home from work. Also on Monday (yesterday), Mark left early to take our van to be looked at. After that he came home, went to finish the work day remotely, and found out that his coworker went home sick. He had come into work with a fever and a cough. 🙄🙄🙄 So now, until a negative test appears from his coworker (if they even decide to give him a test because there's a shortage and hospitals are having to pick and choose who to give them to), Mark and I are on lockdown from our kids for 2 weeks to make sure we don't have any symptoms. 😢 ⁣ ⁣ 1. Your actions affect other people.⁣ ⁣ 2. DON'T GO INTO WORK IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING GOOD/SICK ⁣ ⁣ 3. Employers, please make it known to your employees that it's okay for them to stay home if they aren't feeling well or even just work from home. ⁣ ⁣ 4. It's a harsh reality we're having to face right now. Our culture has been too work-driven and now we've created a frenzy where working from home is a big deal that some people just can't handle. I pray we that after all this we shift to a more family-focused culture. ⁣ ⁣ 5. I just want my babies home 💕

I want to bring you some sure-fire truth in these moments when we don't know what's true or fear-driven. ⁣ Anxiety may be high right now, but remember that God is in control of it all. There is a reason this is happening and there is a purpose to it, even if we don't know what that is right now (and we may never know). I've seen a lot of fear, panic, and "I don't know what to do", so here's the one thing you can do that is certain to bring peace: Look to God. If you feel yourself starting to panic or freak out about what's happening then stop, go in an empty room, and pray about it. God hears your prayers and will bring you peace when you look to him for it.⁣ ⁣ Meditate on these Scriptures: ⁣ ⁣ "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." - John 14:27 ⁣ ⁣ “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. . . . [For] your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.” - Luke 12:22, 30-31 ⁣ ⁣ “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:11-13⁣ ⁣ "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:4-7⁣ ⁣ "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33
