Happy Tuesday, friends! ✨ I’ve been a little M

Happy Tuesday, friends! ✨ I’ve been a little MIA from the gram as Rob and I took some time away in Nashville over the long weekend to embrace everything country music and get out of the rut we found ourselves in after losing our second baby early this month. We stayed out way too late, ate way too much, took way too many Instagram photos with murals all over the city (@thecathynugent) — and we really had the most fun we’ve had in a long time. Waking up yesterday we realized we’re definitely not 22 anymore, that’s for sure! 😂 Nashville, you were just what I needed. We’ll be back soon. 🎙🎶💛 #whatliftsyou #nashvillegulch 🦋 @kelseymontagueart // P.S. I’ll be sharing our Nashville travel diary on the blog soon!

Tell me, after Christmas do you decorate for winte

Since putting all the Christmas decor away, it’s

Since putting all the Christmas decor away, it’s been so much fun having a clean slate to let the creative juices flow. 💁🏼‍♀️ I decided to keep our couch here since moving all the furniture around back when I started decorating for Christmas, so I moved this bookcase over here (and I really think I’m loving it! 🙌🏼) I also finally got around to having Rob hang out split butterfly print from @bffprintshop — and I hope it’s just the start of something really cool I had in mind for this wall. 💛🦋 Now to just figure out how I want to finish styling this bookshelf... and find new throw pillows! Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you all had an amazing weekend ✨ #ahostinghome

Started working on this gallery wall in our back hallway across from what would’ve been Layne’s and our second baby’s room today. I was hoping this announcement would be a lot more exciting... but Layne is officially a big brother to our second little angel baby in heaven. While our excitement was short, we didn’t get the chance to share it with many people, and we only got to enjoy this baby for a moment, he or she will be loved for a lifetime. All week long I have wrestled back and forth whether to share, but as hard as it was to wrap our heads around it all, it didn’t feel right to not acknowledge the newest chapter of our story, our newest baby, and how God is moving in our lives. But just like the start of this gallery wall, this isn’t the end of our story. God is so good. I believe these two angel babies are just the beginning of something beautiful God is orchestrating through our story and our journey — and I can’t wait to see it. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

Well, friends, everything Christmas is officially

Happy New Year, friends! ❤️✨If you've been f

Happy New Year, friends! ❤️✨If you've been following along for a while now and know our story, you know that 2019 was a doozy of a year. I remember sitting down in December 2018 thinking of things that I wanted to work on that next year. One of my biggest focuses and prayers was that God would help me grow in my faith. I now realize that praying for God to increase your faith is a lot like praying for God to increase your patience... He’s going to put you in situations where your faith will be stretched.⠀
•⠀
I can confidently say that this past year has been both the worst and best year of my life. It was the worst year with these last 9 months marked with so much heartbreak – the weight of grief that accompanied saying goodbye to our son Layne as he went on to heaven 38 minutes after he was born. (You can read our story on the blog.) Meanwhile, it’s been the best year because I’m not at all the same person I was just 9 months ago.⠀
•⠀
In 2019, God completely changed me. Broke me. But like a potter, He’s molded me and shaped me into what He has been wanting me to be. He has made me new. Holding His hand these past 9 months, He has given me strength and comfort when my flesh didn’t know how it would continue on. He has stretched me, but He has been so good and faithful to me. He has shown me what it’s truly like to trust His heart when I am unable to see His hand, and He continues to reveal Himself to me daily. I’m not the same person I was before March 28th, 2019. And while I wish it didn’t have to happen the way it did, I am so incredibly thankful for the beautiful story He’s writing through us.⠀
•⠀
The year 2019 was one in which I learned so much about myself – and my savior. I have so much hope for this next year, and I hope you do too. Here’s to 2020, friends! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for all of us this next year. #ahostinghome #ahostinghomepups

I’m lowkey in denial that Christmas is already o

I’m lowkey in denial that Christmas is already over and we’re knocking on 2020’s door already, but at the same time I’m dying to put all the Christmas things away for a clean slate for the new year. I may be making Rob bring the Christmas bins out of the attic to start taking things down tomorrow — because that’s the only way this old soul is going to stay up till midnight on NYE this year. 😂 // P.S. I now realize that the problem of going all out with your Christmas decor every year is when it’s time to put it all away. 😅 SO with that being said, you’ve got at least a couple days left of my trees before they’re retired in the attic until Michael Buble and Mariah Carey make their appearance again next year. I’m still loving this woodland inspired pencil tree in my entryway. If you didn’t have a tree in your entryway this year, you need one next year — it’s seriously the most magical thing to walk into every day when you come home. 🎄❤️✨ #ahostinghome

We’re officially in that space between Christmas

We’re officially in that space between Christmas and New Years where I don’t know what day it is, who I am, or what I’m supposed to be doing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks it feels like we’ve been living in a continuous string of Saturday’s. // I was so excited to have Christmas with my bible study girls today (aka. Bible brunchin’ ✌🏼) for one last get together around this table sipping on coffee. At the same time, I was so sad that it was our last week together!! We started our study in January 2019 and have met weekly to discuss passages of scripture as we’ve read through the entire bible. 52 weeks, y’all. (Where did the time go?!) This study has been such a blessing to me, really more than I can express — and I know God put these ladies in my life knowing I’d need them when Layne passed away. I’m seriously so against the fun ending I want to host a monthly book club / bible study this next year. // ✨ P.S. If you’re looking to make reading the Bible one of your 2020 goals, message me and I’ll send you the link to the book / guide we used!! #ahostinghome
