A Simpler Motherhood

What I’m Loving in May

It’s the month of May, 31 days filled with lots and lots of things. The December of spring. Graduations, weddings, the end of the school year, yard work, recitals, sports, etc. etc. etc. The weather is finally beautiful and there is new life blooming everywhere. Here is What I’m Loving in May.

What I’m Loving in May

Walks and the Bible

My walks continue to be a sanity saver for me. Almost every morning I get to walk our gravel road while the sun comes up. Recently I have started listening to the Psalms on the Bible app. It has been incredibly life giving and is the perfect way to begin my day.

School’s Out for Summer

We finished our school year a few weeks back and our entire family is grateful for a break. We all worked hard and now have a few months to play, relax, reflect, and simply have fun together. This month has been filled with soccer games, park fun, zoo trips, gardening, and doing whatever the kids want to do. It won’t be long until we are spending our days at the swimming hole. Summer. Is. Coming.

Travel with Kevin

Kevin has a lot of travel this month for work and I get to tag along for a few of his trips. I love traveling as a family the most, but it’s always nice to get away and take a breather without kids. We spent some time in Arizona and get to go to Nashville around our anniversary. I love hanging with my guy!

Vuori Joggers

This is silly, but true. I have been living in my Vuori joggers. Kevin got hooked on Vuori during Covid and has been singing their praises since his first wear. He bought me a pair for my birthday and made me a believer. The buttery soft material, the comfy fit, the fact that I can wear them out of the house and look semi-put together. In my humble stay-at-home-mom opinion, they are the perfect pair of pants.

Dreaming Again

This last year has been a tough one for our family. Without getting into too much detail, life has been weird and hard and also really beautiful. I promise I will share more when it seems appropriate. The last few weeks, it has seemed right to start dreaming again. Slowly and surely, I have allowed myself to dream about what our family can do in the next year. Travel, projects, our lifestyle. It has been refreshing to think about things other than doing life day to day.

God is in our family’s story. It has been a season of trials, but also so much joy in the midst of it. I know dreaming again is a gift He has given me in the middle of all this and I’m grateful for it.

May is full of so many good things. What are you loving in May?
