Father's Day

I absolutely LOVE pinterest! I was inspired for Father's Day gifts to my Dad and my husband, and threw in one for my Mom while I was at it! :)
One for Dad!
One for Papa!
And one for Mimi too!

What's Your Confession?

This morning I was scrolling through Facebook...OK, I'm guilty...but an article caught my eye, and though I did not read it, God instantly spoke to me. The article was something about college students dropping out because of their social anxiety. I immediately related..."Maybe I have social anxiety," I thought. My mind went to all the times when I've felt awkward, uncomfortable, and even anxious in a crowd setting. But just like that, it hit me. I felt the Lord say to me, "Of all the things I call you in my Word, anxious , is not one of them." Loved. Chosen. Saved. Child of God. Not once does the Lord call us or label us with those words we have somehow, almost lovingly, welcomed and accepted as a banner for our identity. In fact, all through the Bible He tells us not to fear, be courageous, and be anxious for nothing. My mind raced through all the times, some even recently, that I felt like I was somehow being brave in sharing open-heartedly and trans...

The Gift of Solitude

I received a phone call this afternoon from my husband. He called to inform me of an appointment I have this Saturday morning. An appointment HE set up for ME. He called to tell me that he scheduled a relaxation massage for me, and following that a manicure. Um..ladies?! Is that not one of the best surprises ever? We're getting down to the final days before we leave for the Southern U.S. for Christmas, and I have a TON to do. Between list-making, cleaning, laundry (which he's done ALL of), and packing, I really have no time to be unmotivated. However, here I am. Procrastinating. I'm the world's best!  Scott knows how stressful the last couple of days before a trip can be for me. So, he decided to make sure to schedule me some time of solitude. I get a spa day, and he takes the kids for the day. THE. BEST. All you moms out there, you know what the gift of solitude is like for you. HEAVEN. It doesn't have to be a spa day, or shopping day, or anything like that at a...

Daddy Dates & Mommy Dates

Daddy Dates. Mommy Dates. They're incredibly anticipated in the Wright household. Once a week, or at least twice a month, Scott takes Olivia on what we call a "Daddy Date". He usually plans the date, and they go somewhere for a couple of hours for alone time with just the two of them. We first read about these on a blog from Pastor Ed Young and loved the idea! I think Scott first started doing them with Olivia when I was pregnant with Judah. We knew things were going to soon change in our house. Our "princess" and only child was going to go from the center of attention to having to share that spotlight with a new baby! We desperately wanted to start implementing special time with just her and Scott, and on other occasions just her and me (Mommy Dates). If you have kids you know how important quality time together is. I would encourage anyone not already doing so to pull out your calendar and start planning some quality, alone time together with your child. Ol...
