Welcome

Hey there, sweet friend.
If you’ve landed here, take a deep breath. Really—breathe.

Because I want you to know this space was made just for you.

You, the mom who’s running on caffeine and crumbs.
You, the woman juggling way too much with too little support.
You, the one who loves her kids deeply but sometimes wonders if she’s doing any of it right.
You’re in the right place.

This blog was born out of my own mess—out of the tears cried in quiet moments when I felt like no one saw me anymore. Out of the prayers whispered through pain. Out of a heart that wanted more than just survival. I wanted peace. I wanted purpose. I wanted to know that I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.

And mama… I’m guessing maybe you do too.

This Is A Safe Space

This isn’t a blog about how to be a perfect mom.
It’s about being an honest one.
It’s about choosing grace over guilt.
It’s about finding little sparks of peace and purpose in the middle of motherhood.
It’s about showing up every day—even when we’re exhausted, anxious, or unsure—and knowing God meets us right there.

And I mean right there—in the unwashed hair, in the chicken nugget dinners, in the tearful late-night prayers, in the screaming toddlers and never-ending laundry piles. He’s in all of it.

This space is for us: the moms who are doing the very best they can, even when it doesn’t look like much from the outside. It is enough. And you are enough.

My Story in a Nutshell

I’m Dana — a momma of six, a believer, and someone who’s been in survival mode more times than I can count.

In the last 3 years, I’ve had five surgeries due to a connective tissue disorder and there are more to come. My body has walked through fire, and yet I’m still here, praising God through it.

There have been medical bills piling up, an economy that feels like it’s constantly pushing us backwards, and seasons where I’ve wondered how I could possibly keep going.

But God has never stopped showing up.

He’s carried me through, even when I didn’t see the full picture.
He’s reminded me that motherhood isn’t something I have to perform. It’s a relationship to be nurtured, one grace-filled moment at a time.

This space is my heart poured out — stories, encouragement, prayers, and practical tools for moms who need a place to rest and refuel.

A Scripture to Hold Onto

"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Friend, that’s not just a verse. It’s an invitation.

You don’t have to carry it all. Not here. Not alone.

A Prayer from My Heart to Yours

Dear Lord,
Thank You for the sweet mama reading these words. You know how tired she is. You see every burden she carries, every moment she doubts herself, every tear she’s cried in the dark.
Remind her right now that she is not alone.
Remind her that You are proud of how she loves, how she shows up, and how she keeps going.
Let this space be a refuge for her—a place where she feels seen, safe, and deeply loved.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

You are welcome here. All of you. The messy, real, beautiful, growing version.

Let’s walk this road together. One grace-filled day at a time.

With love,
Dana 🤍
