On Disease and Suffering, Pt. I – Reflections on the age old question of how a good God can allow disease and suffering in this world
Updated: Nov 14, 2018 Reflections on the age old question of how a good God can allow disease and suffering in this world. This will be part I in however many posts it takes for me to write about how God has responded to my questions over the last few years. While I'm still in the [...]
A Mother’s Love Is Supernatural
A mother's love = superhuman strength. When my physical strength fails, somehow that deep God-given mama love always finds a way, giving me just enough to get the job done. When I think I can't go on, my heart powers me with a supernatural strength beyond what I ever thought possible. Moms are truly special. [...]
Motherhood Is Hard
It’s ok to feel like things are hard. Just because we aren’t superhuman, it doesn’t mean moms aren’t superheroes. Motherhood. It is the most beautiful thing - but also the hardest thing. The most rewarding thing - but also the most exhausting, backbreaking thing. I started this page to help me keep perspective and stay [...]
Unconditional Love: Shifting How We Respond To Tantrums
Giving our little ones the support, space and safety to feel. Toddlers are amazing...but also exhausting. Emotions can run so high, and the simplest things can become such struggles (dinnertime anyone?). But today, I want to talk about unconditional love. I was venting recently about how our evening routine felt so chaotic and that many [...]
Looking Forward: Creating A Family Vision
In my professional life as a marketing executive, one of the most important aspects of my role is casting vision for our company, brand, and business. Without a clearly defined direction, it is inevitable for an organization get sidetracked. Defining and aligning on a clear purpose and mission enables us to effectively use our time [...]
You Are Enough
It's less about "what" than it is about "who". We're all doing the best we can, and at the end of the day, that's enough. Breast or bottle. Co-sleeping or sleep-training. Some screen time or none at all. How to discipline your kids. Can I just confess that sometimes I feel like I have no [...]
No Regrets: Taking Ahold Of What We Have Now
We are in the thick of it. This video, "If I Were A Young Woman Now," gave me pause and reminded me it's in moments like these I may need to take a step back again. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ltVPj6-5xpo?autoplay=0&mute=0&controls=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.christinapeng.com&playsinline=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&enablejsapi=1&widgetid=29 This video was published a couple of years ago but I only just saw it for the first [...]
Parenting With The Endgame In Mind
Holding their little hands and walking alongside these two in this season of life is crazy, beautiful, my greatest joy...and such a special opportunity I love weddings. There’s nothing quite as sweet as being a part of such a meaningful moment in someone’s life. And the thickness of love that fills that space! How surreal [...]
Letting Them Be Little
Rather than trying to correct toddler regression, perhaps we should give them a safe space to regress. After all, if it's going by too fast for us, it may be going too fast for them too. I am thinking about my first-born today. This photo was taken almost exactly two years ago, a month before [...]
