Hi there! If you don’t know yet – my name is Taylor, and I’m so glad you’re here. A little about me… I married my “middle school sweetheart” (Riley) in 2018, and we have two beautiful, spitfire baby girls (Ellie & Sadie). I’m a SAHM that finds joy in lots of iced coffee, Bluey, and Jesus.
Up until 2023, my life was simple… mundane, really. I used to complain about that. I expected the same thing out of each day. Wake up, keep Ellie alive and entertained, sleep, repeat. I wish I could tell my old self to enjoy those slow, monotonous days more. Because in July 2023, things started to spiral. And boy, has life been a rollercoaster ever since.
I’m not sure what my “goal” is for this blog. While my story seems significant to me, it probably doesn’t hold much weight to the average person. I don’t say that out of pity. I simply mean… life is hard. For everyone. It’s full of curveballs, mistakes, and loss. I challenge you to find a single person who says otherwise. If they do, they’re either lying or haven’t lived long enough.
But here’s the thing. It’s not JUST hard. It’s not JUST full of curveballs, mistakes, and loss. Life is so much more than the bad. If you step back and truly look at God’s goodness… even in the hard… I guarantee that you’ll see life is extraordinary.
So maybe that’s the goal… to shine a light on the extraordinary that life offers. To give you a glimpse of hope when the pain seems to define you. To remind you that the heaviness is not too much to bear. To point you to the ONE thing that makes life so much more. (Spoiler… it’s Jesus.)
Trust me… I’ve witnessed it.

Taylor,
I found your blog quite by accident, but maybe not. Maybe God put your blog in my path. The sharing of your experiences is both heart wrenching and thought provoking at the same time. Your words paint a picture so you feel you are right there through the bad and your revelations.
