#ad Did you know that local libraries offer FREE access to their digital collection? My mind was blown when I was recently introduced to the #LibbyApp ❤️ @overdrive_libs is a FREE, award winning reading app from your library that allows you to borrow ebooks and audiobooks for FREE anytime, anywhere. Each library has their own unique collection, so you can add one library card or even multiple library cards to your account. There are a bunch of different reading options including night mode, sleep timer, dyslexic font option, Apple Car Play option for Audiobooks and even a bookmark option in case you want to remember a certain quote or part of the book for later. I highly recommend downloading this app and putting your library card to use! WHAT IS THE MOST RECENT BOOK YOU’VE READ?

These two crazies make life so incredibly fun. Don’t get me wrong, they are a ton of work - you can watch my stories to see the tornado that unfolded in our house yesterday... but raising them is a joy. Pure joy. They can test my strength and faith to the max, then one smile makes it all worth it. I sure do love you two 💋🥰

14 years. 14 years ago, Kevin and I kissed for the first time in my parents driveway on Valentines Day and my life has never been the same. A lot has changed in 14 years, but our love has grown from that high school butterflies stage to that in sickness and health, endures all things type love... and it’s freaking beautiful. In every high and every low, you’ve been right by my side holding my hand and making me smile. I love you, Kevin Clarke. You make me so incredibly happy. 📸: @dobraski.stepanski

With all of my dental work lately, I decided it was time to upgrade my toothbrush to a @makeitgleem Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush and it has not disappointed. It is so extremely sleek and modern, not to mention it’s designed to make your smile shine! It has two brushing modes for a Classic Clean or GLEEM Clean for extra brushing power. & it even comes in four colors so you can pick which one matches your decor or style best - Coral, Slate, Aqua, or Pearl. Now, it’s time to get brushing! Grab your GLEEM brush at GLEEM.com & lets take a poll - HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DO YOU BRUSH? #makeitgleem #gleempartner

Being a parent is hard. There is always a growing

Being a parent is hard. There is always a growing to do list, meals that need to be prepared, snacks in between, toys to be picked up, drinks to be filled up, potty breaks, accidents, spills on the counter, piles of laundry - every day. It’s never ending. And, all without a please and thank you most times.

Honestly, the past two weeks, this has made me weary and frustrated. I feel like I’m the maid for two tiny dictators most days. And, the truth is - I am. And I will be again tomorrow, so it is easy to grow tired. But, the frustration only seeps in if we fix our eyes purely on the work. We can’t change the chores of tomorrow, but we can change what our eyes are fixed upon. We can fix them on God instead of on our thankless tasks. “Never become tired of doing good” - 2 Thessalonians 3:13”

It’s easy to feel alone, and tried from parenthood. But, God sees you. He sees your work. He sees you in the thick of parenting, he sees you cleaning up poop stains, folding laundry, doing dishes and everything in between. He sees you and He’s proud of the work you are doing to raise up kids after Him. You are doing a good work. You are seen. Your work matters. Keep it up!!
