Mother’s Day can be a sweet, special day of cele

Mother’s Day can be a sweet, special day of celebration for some, but can also be a rough reminder of things we’ve hoped for or lost. A couple years ago, I had just miscarried when Mother’s Day came around, and it was a pretty sad day for me.

I hope that those of us who are lucky enough pay tribute to our mothers will do so, but also remember and reach out to those who have lost their mother or may not have a mother’s influence in their life. Those who have just miscarried or lost a child. Those who might be at the beside of their little baby in a hospital. Those who are in the depths of postpartum depression or are enduring a challenging pregnancy. Those who are caring for a sick or injured child or aging mother. Those who might be lonely or in need of a friend.

I love this quote from Sheri Dew:
“Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it certainly is that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines out very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits the Father gave us.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all women, wherever you may be on your mothering journey.💛#mothersday #miscarriageawareness

An elderly man stopped me in the grocery store tod

An elderly man stopped me in the grocery store today to say hi to my baby boy (he is quite the social butterfly and stops people everywhere we go). He said, “I’ll tell you one thing. The most fun I had in my entire life was during the years I was raising my children.”

Not gonna lie, “fun” is not the first word that comes to mind sometimes when my baby skips naps or eats dirt out of our plants or throws his food all over the floor, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what that kind man said. Of all the experiences he’d had in his lifetime, the years he spent teaching and chasing down his little ones and were the most fun and memorable.

I’ve been trying to relax more and enjoy this time with my son while he’s busy learning and discovering and exploring the world. I hope that I’ll be able to look back when I’m old and grey like that man at the store and say, “You know what? That was FUN!”

New acoustic cover of “willow” by @taylorswift is out everywhere now! It’s been almost a year since we’ve put a song out together, and this one was so fun to record! Link in my bio and stories to listen. @gardinersistersofficial #willow #acousticcovers #gardinersisters

Voice memo from my song “Alaska”. It’s alway

Voice memo from my song “Alaska”. It’s always sweet to listen back to the first ideas that are captured as a song is being written. I love hearing how songs evolve and change before they become the recorded version you hear!

I have received the kindest messages about this song from people who currently live in or are missing their home in Alaska, which is such a compliment to me as a songwriter who simply imagined what it would be like to go there. Thank you for listening! #alaska #alaskalife

It was so special for me to put together this vide

It was so special for me to put together this video for “Take Me With You”. In every clip I found, my Grandpa was smiling or laughing, so happy. I miss him so much but am grateful for his example of optimism and love of life that I hope to emulate. Link to watch the music video is in my story + highlights.

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
