At the speed of life

October 15, 2014 By Erika Zane

15 Oct

Often it feels like life happens at the speed of light.  There are moments of waiting, followed by moments of blur.   The blur, being the seasons of life where time goes so fast it's difficult to stay in the present and take it all in. Today's a sick day for us.  D stayed home from school with a ... Read More about At the speed of life

Love IS Life. Everything else is just… garbage.

August 20, 2014 By Erika Zane

20 Aug

It's so easy to miss the point.  It's easy to get caught up in everything that doesn't matter, even when I think I'm focusing on the truth.  Even when I think I'm focusing on God. Love. That's it.  That's all that really matters, right?  That's all God really wants from us.  It's such a simple ... Read More about Love IS Life. Everything else is just… garbage.

The Relativity of Feelings and My Struggles

July 30, 2014 By Erika Zane

30 Jul

Time.  It's a tricky thing. It doesn't make sense that five years ago feels like yesterday and, yet, I don't know where the last month went.  We all know time is relative to each person's individual experience; a hard month can feel like a year and a good year can feel like a month.  Perspective ...

  Oh how many times I've gotten on here and thought, I need to blog more often.  I'm not really sure what keeps me away.  It's so soothing to write and so refreshing to get feedback and know that I'm not alone. Oh wait, my kids.  That's why I don't get on here more! No, but ... Read More about Parenting Young Children: The Challenge of a Quiet Moment

Gender Reveal: Baby Number 3

May 23, 2014 By Erika Zane

23 May

Unquestionably, today I felt more anxious and excited than I have in a long time.  I texted my sister earlier and likened it to Christmas morning as a child. This morning, after dropping Dylan off at preschool, the three of us headed over to Firstview Ultrasound in Greenwood Village, where my mom ... Read More about Gender Reveal: Baby Number 3

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
