It was 2006, and I needed an outlet. I started blogging way back when people looked at you funny when you said the word blog. I mainly kept a journal about our road to having a baby. And what God taught me during our journey.
I blogged when we got pregnant.
I blogged when we moved to Tennessee.
And I definitely blogged when we found out we were pregnant with triplets.
It was somewhere during their 1st year that postpartum depression set in, and I could not talk about it or blog about or even speak about it. I really just wanted to cry at every blog I read. I thought _______ was doing so much better than I was doing. Plus, I was caring for 4 tiny people. It was hard. But I wasn’t alone.
To survive, I stopped blogging. I stopped reading a lot of blogs, too.
I have to say that the Lord walked me through that hard time. That time when so many little people needed me. They still do need me, but I am at a different place now. A place that includes sleep (most nights), a little bit more independence, and yet still very much in the little years.
I have learned a few lessons a long the way, that have helped me A LOT! And those are what I hope to share here! And, I really would love to maybe help you?! I also want to leave these learned lessons and treasures to my children. Maybe one day when they become parents, they will be able to look back and have a little guidance. At least that’s my hope.
So, with that said, here I am having learned a little bit, but having A LOT more to learn! I want to be transparent and real and me. And offer a hand for you to hold along the way. Let’s journey together sister, okay?

Wow. What a beautiful read that was. I absolutely love your honesty here. Depression is so real. So many women struggle with it. I am one of those women. I already know that God is going to use you in such a big way. I am grateful for your willingness to come back to something that you had to walk away from at a time in your life where you needed to do what was best for you. That takes such courage. I am inspired by you. Blessings to you and to your family!
PS- TRIPLETS! How exciting! I am am identical twin! I just think the conception, birth, and raising of multiples is such a miracle!
Thank you Nicole for your encouragement! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Means so much!
