Jane Fonda and the Bodies We Can’t Take With Us

April 20, 2020April 20, 2020 Emily P. Blackwell

When I was about ten, my mom started doing a Jane Fonda workout video in our little living room. She did it almost everyday. I have no idea what she wore or how she looked doing it. I don’t know if she lost weight or not. Weight wasn’t something we EVER talked about. We didn’t

Summer Shennanigans

May 29, 2018July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

Barbies, books, and Overboard – my sister and I used to dress up in our dance costumes and reenact the movie Overboard. True life. And that’s what I remember about long summer days as a kid. I remember VBS, of course, beach vacations, and Swim Camp for two summers once I got a little older;

The Day My Kids Saw Me Cry

April 17, 2018July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

It was the letter, definitely the letter – but it was also everything that led up to the letter. It was that our kitchen sink smelled like actual garbage when I got home, that the new puppy tee teed on the rug – again, that I am late or behind on about three hundred and

Monthly Meal Planning – FREEBIE ALERT!

May 18, 2017July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

I write a lot about super serious things here – reflective, heart things. And I like that because I want you to know that you’re not the only one that deals with the hard stuff while you smile and love and give. However, I also want you to know that there are tools and ways

The Down and Dirty Truth about Homeschooling

October 2, 2016July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

So, we’re homeschooling. I’ve mentioned that I think, but I don’t think I’ve told you about how we arrived at that decision, about how it’s impacted our life, and about how it hasn’t. Before we even knew we were leaving Arvada, circumstances began to align in such a way that we felt led to homeschool.

God Cares about the Mama Sheep: Part 2

June 7, 2016July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

 This is a post I wrote about babies one and two between the birth of babies two and three – that now applies to my mornings with babies two and three (except that I am not currently expecting a fourth). And the wheel just keeps on turning…   I woke up at 5 heavy-hearted and

God Cares about the Mama Sheep: Part 1

June 6, 2016July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

 We ate our Sunday dinner as planned. We cleaned up the kitchen as planned. The Hunk and Miss Magnificent went down for the resty roos as planned. And when all was quiet, I grabbed my Bible, my journal, threw on my favorite pair of flip flops, and headed down to the lake – eagerly anticipating

That First Prayer

June 3, 2016July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

What would it be like if motherhood was my job – like the ultimate job that I’d hope and worked for my whole life – that tone I’d gone to school for, the one that energized me and made me feel alive? What would it look like if my focus, my heart, my energy went

Your Work Matters

June 2, 2016July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die. Genesis 33:13 They wanted us to share an experience with group – how we had

The Why

June 2, 2016July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Be careful that no one falls short of the grace of God, so that no root of bitterness will spring up to cause trouble and defile many. See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.For you know that afterward, when he
