We named her Avonlea. She was here for exactly one week; and then, like a dandelion puff floating off into the wind, she was gone again. Her life was invisible and muted, a tiny ball of cells that engraved themselves upon our hearts and buried deep into our life. Seven days was all we had […]
We have a winner! Thank you to everyone who participated in my July Giveaway. As I watched the entries come flowing in, I’ve been so encouraged to see just how beautiful and unique each one of our stories are. Whether your nest has one white egg, ten blue eggs, or a mix somewhere in between, […]
If you’ve been following our story (or have read the last few blog posts), you’ll know that July is a bit of an emotionally charged month for us.

Welcome!
Hi, I’m Liz! I am a writer, mama of eight (three in my arms, five in heaven), slurpee enthusiast, and avid reader. I started blogging after a stillbirth and four miscarriages, and am passionate about finding beauty within the stories we’ve been given. In addition to writing about all things faith, motherhood, and grief-related, I am currently working on my first novel.
As you dive into this blog, I pray that this will be a space where you’ll feel less alone. A place where messy and mundane collide into something to be savoured — and where we can journey through the triumphs and the sorrows together. May this be a place of laughter and hope, reflection and community.
Most of all, may this be a place where our stories continually echo the faithfulness and great, saving grace of Christ.
Welcome, friend. I am so glad you’re here.
