I wrote “Take Me With You” while my sweet Gran I wrote “Take Me With You” while my sweet Grandpa was in the hospital, just before he passed away last October. My grandparents met when they were just 13 years old, and I wrote the lyrics from my Grandma’s perspective. I can’t imagine what it is like for her to have lost her sweetheart of 51 years, but I tried to convey the hope that she has through Jesus Christ that they will be reunited again one day. Music has always been how I process the ups and downs of my life, and this song came to me at a time when I really needed comfort. I continue to sing it whenever I miss my Grandpa, and though most of the time I get too choked up to sing it all the way through, I hope that somehow he can hear it and that it makes him proud. I also hope that “Take Me With You” will offer you comfort if you have lost or are missing someone you love. Link to listen is in my bio and stories. #takemewithyou #singersongwriter #acousticfolk

Before I had my baby last year, my heart was so fu Before I had my baby last year, my heart was so full of joy and excitement. After two miscarriages, we felt ready to become parents. I thought that once our son was here and safe and whole, all of my anxieties would disappear. I expected that the Lord would bless me with a beautiful and natural transition into motherhood after what we’d been through to get him here. And then I had the baby two weeks early and everything about bringing him into the world was way harder than I ever thought it would be. I had a rough recovery and struggled with postpartum depression. My anxiety worsened. The wild ride of imbalanced hormones and figuring out nursing and experiencing sleep deprivation while trying to heal from birth and care for a tiny, helpless baby left me feeling pretty lost and scared. I’ve prayed a lot since my baby was born, trying to understand what my Heavenly Father wanted me to learn from these experiences. Why didn’t God just give me a free pass? The greatest desire of my heart was to become a mother. I know that this is a central part of His plan for me as His daughter, so why didn’t He make it easy for me? Just because God has called us to do something doesn’t mean it won’t require great sacrifice and effort. I know that when He calls me to cross a great deep (like motherhood) He will be there to guide me, but wants me to wade into the water first. To get wet. To keep moving step by step and trust that He will be there as we ride over or duck under each wave together. I know now that what other mothers say is true- it gets better. Everything becomes easier with practice and with time. I’m practicing motherhood every day, just like I practice playing my guitar. And I know that with diligent effort, the Master teacher can help me understand His purposes and plan for me and my family. I’ve also never been more grateful for my wonderful husband- the steady rock I’ve needed as we’ve navigated parenthood together!
With the start of every new year, I feel like ther With the start of every new year, I feel like there’s a lot of frantic energy around shaping, strengthening, and toning our bodies. This year I’m striving to listen to and be more kind to my postpartum body. To not look at other women who have had babies and compare myself to them, but instead stay in my own lane of progress. To not aspire to look like any version of my past self, but instead embrace where I’m at right now. 18 year old me was great, but she’s long gone. Ha! I want to exercise because it boosts my mood and makes me feel good. To nourish my body with food out of love. To listen to my body more, especially when I need rest. To practice gently caring for myself the same way that I care for my precious baby boy. Though my 28 year old skin is a little more stretched out and scarred than his brand new baby skin is, I’m learning that we both deserve to be treated with that same kind of TLC. I shared more about this on my stories, and I’d love to hear any thoughts you have about postpartum body confidence in the comments! Love you all.
Someday I’ll go back to Alaska…♡ I wrote th Someday I’ll go back to Alaska…♡ I wrote this song about what I imagine the last frontier to be like (since I’ve yet to visit) so I could travel there in my mind. I hope this song takes you there, too. A special thank you to my friends Chris + Chelsea (@angleofattack) for providing the gorgeous footage of their home state of Alaska! Chelsea was my roommate in college when she and Chris were dating and I have loved watching their little family grow! Link to stream “Alaska” is in my profile.
