This blog post will cover only our home birth story. Other details of our pregnancy, home birth and postpartum journey will be covered in later blog posts. You can find all the topics I’ll be sharing about here. Thank goodness I wrote down Andrew’s birth when it was all still fresh in my mind. I […]
Hello again. First things first, we had a baby (if you didn’t already know from the title of this post)! He’s the most precious little guysie and we adore him deeply. I guess I should change the name of this blog to A Tale of Three Thompsons now, huh? 😉 While it feels a bit […]
The past several springs I’ve found myself thinking “This is the most beautiful spring ever!” This year is no different. Now that we have a yard, I’ve found myself taking frequent breaks (“mini fieldtrips” as I like to call them) to walk around and notice the changes that have occurred overnight. I’m so thankful the […]
A question has occupied my mind over the past week. So much so that I wrote it down knowing that I’d circle back to dive deeper. The question is this: What does it mean to me to create? When I ponder this question, other questions come to mind like, how do I create? And, what […]

This whole COVID-19 situation has me itching to travel. Although we might not be able to travel far during this time, now’s the perfect time to see what local adventures are out there. If you live in or near East Tennessee, you’ll want to check out the Foothills Parkway. We drove the parkway last fall […]
What the heck, 2020? I know many of you are still reeling about all that’s happening out there in the world. COVID-19, tornadoes, cancelled events. So much has shaken our normal and dashed our plans and hopes. These times are heavy on my mind and I know I’m not alone in that. I journal just […]
In my early days of running it was rare for me to hit the pavement without my music. Running with music helped drown out the sound of my footsteps and heavy breathing, both of which made me utterly aware of the sufferfest I was enduring. Plus, nothing motivates me more during a workout than a […]
Since I’ve been training for a marathon and have a long run scheduled every weekend, I need a breakfast that I not only look forward to eating but that will keep me full and fueled for hours. I love how a big bowl of oats does just that. Daniel and I like to experiment with […]
We live in the age of more. Many of us find ourselves stuck in the endless cycle of extracting every ounce of effort to reach our next goal. For the past several months I’ve been training to run my first marathon, and this emphasis on more is not lost of me. If I just run more […]
