Welcome to my motherhood blog,

As a mom and wife for over 10 years now, I have always strived to be a better woman than I was yesterday. There’s a lot pulling at me daily and I strive to create space in my schedule for myself, and new ways to nourish and pour into my family. Here you’ll find nourishing, simple and homemade recipes your family will love. You’ll find devotionals to get you through the day and connect daily with God. There are many resources for you to learn new habits and routines you can implement to be a better mom, wife, and woman. Feeling more connected, healthy, and inspired. I pray you found this blog when you needed it most, and that it inspires you to feel your best!

I’m Emily Parkins. I have a passion for encouraging moms - the Christian way. Through scripture, the grace of God, and discipline I have learned how to rebound after tough seasons, and share what I’ve learned along the way. I enjoy sharing recipes, life management tips and encouraging words to help you fill your heart & your belly!

I pray when you are on my page you feel uplifted, encouraged, and seen. I pray you can relate to the stories I tell, and that you find something useful to take into your own lives.

Being a mom and wife are the greatest blessings. I am truly fulfilled by God’s calling to be a mom and wife and I pray that you can feel that blessing as well! 🤍

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23
