Our Foolproof Guide to “Failing” at Sleep Training
This post was supposed to be about how we successfully sleep trained our three boys… in the same room.
But as you can probably tell, this isn’t that story.
As a mom of three—with baby number four on the way—I felt this urgency to get everything in order before stepping into a new season. Sleep train the boys. Create independence. Build a routine that would make life feel just a little more manageable once the baby arrived.
Because in theory, that makes sense, right?
But here’s what I’m learning in this season of motherhood… what works on paper doesn’t always work in your home.
A Surprise Worth Waiting For: Why We’re Not Sharing the Gender of Baby #4
There are a few thoughtful reasons why we’ve chosen not to share the gender of baby #4, and this decision has been rooted in protecting peace, joy, and what feels most meaningful for our family during this season.
One thing motherhood continues to teach me is that becoming the woman we are meant to be often requires quiet confidence in the choices we make for our families. Not every decision will make sense to everyone around us, and that’s okay. Sometimes honoring your season means protecting it.
Welcoming January
January always feels like a doorway.
New vision. New expectations. A quiet invitation to step forward after closing the chapter on the year before.
But welcoming January hasn’t been simple for me.
This month holds both victories and losses. It’s the month I gave birth to Michael. The month we got Bao. And the month my brother passed away. Because of that, January carries some of my sweetest memories—and some of my heaviest grief.
Grief is strange. It doesn’t follow rules or timelines. It comes in waves I still don’t fully understand. I still cry for my brother. And now, my heart also aches for my dog. This month brings all the should’ve, could’ve, would’ve moments. And while I know I can’t change the fact that they’re gone, I’m learning to welcome January with a grateful heart—and with faith that there can still be triumph even in the midst of loss.
Michael’s Birth Story: A Journey of Strength, Faith, and Grace
Bringing Michael into the world was nothing like I had imagined—but it was everything I needed to experience. His arrival was not early, not on time, but six days past his due date. Induced labor, exhaustion, unexpected turns, and unwavering faith marked the beginning of my motherhood journey.
