If you’re one of the many readers who come searching for Prayers for Pregnancy, click here read more about my (multiple!) journeys through pregnancy.
Or learn more about our family’s stories of infertility, miscarriage, or the loss of our twin daughters shortly after birth.
(Rest assured – there’s lots of hope and laughter here, too! We’re thick in the chaos of raising three small boys after all.)
If you’re interested in connecting faith & parenting, this is the place for you. I love to write about:
- Spirituality: Discovering surprising grace in daily life with kids
- Sacraments: Encountering God in everyday holy moments
- Scripture: How God’s Word speaks to ordinary life, work & relationships
- Seasons: Living the church’s calendar at home
- Spiritual Practices: Simple prayers & actions to deepen faith
When I first started searching for God in bleary-eyed new motherhood, I never dreamed this journey would lead to a book about the messy grace of parenting. Or communities of parents connecting faith & family life on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
But this writing adventure has changed my life. I hope that my words might touch your heart, too.

I have had four miscarriages. I have one son that is five years old. I am a type one diabetic and am over the age of 35. I am currently 14 weeks. I am battling low blood sugar readings due to my pregnancy. I have blacked out multiple times. My little one is doing great but this pregnancy is taking a toll on me. I pray for God to protect my baby and me every night. I have given all my worry and anxiety over to God! Please pray for my little family! Thank you.

Hello. I am new here. I am a mother to a beautiful 7 1/2 month old son who unfortunately passed away on June 9, 2016. He was my only baby. My best friend and my partner in crime. He was and still is my whole world. There is not a single day that I don’t think of him or wonder what he’d be doing. Unfortunately, I have been told that it will not be ruled as sids until they get the report of his brain and heart back. I have been grieving so much that I’m scared my marriage will fail. Please, all I can ask for is prayers.
I have 3 growing boys that I am working feverishly to turn into grown responsible men, and extremely thankful I ran across your blog. You have such a beautiful way of writing, a true connection. I read your Blessed Is She post from today about how we are continuing to live the scripture and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for using your gifts so beautifully – I will certainly enjoy reading.
Thank you so much, Kellie – delighted to have you here!
I’m trying to get conceive please pray for me .
