I want to talk today about a more practical topic - boundaries, and more specifically how to start setting boundaries. I get a lot of comments about how well behaved Olivia is in both our home and out in public. She has a very sweet and gentle temperament and is very obedient, so I really… Continue reading Setting Boundaries

Nothing Is Impossible For God
In December of 2016, I sat down in the rocking chair we had in our nursery. We didn't have a baby, and I wasn't even pregnant yet, but we had started preparing the room in faith. We painted the walls, we bought a glider/rocking chair, and had just ordered a baby crib. My womb was… Continue reading Nothing Is Impossible For God
Thanksgiving All Year Long
Thanksgiving isn't just a holiday. It's not just a day to set aside and be thankful. It's not even a whole month to make daily posts about what you're thankful for. Thanksgiving is something that should be apart of our lives daily all year long. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and… Continue reading Thanksgiving All Year Long
Speaking Life Over Your Children
Something that I've really purposed in my heart to do everyday for my daughter is to speak life over her. I try to watch my words very carefully when I talk with her and about her. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That's something we should… Continue reading Speaking Life Over Your Children
What’s In A Name?
I wanted to share the reasoning behind the name of the blog and what it means to me. Fearless Joy does not exactly scream "mom blog," so allow me to explain how it came to be. My husband actually came up with the name! I had been throwing around ideas with the word "fearless," but… Continue reading What’s In A Name?
Sorrow to Joy – A Joyful Mother
Two years ago, I wanted nothing else than to be a mommy. I remember, at some point on my journey to motherhood, laying on the floor of our "nursery" crying and asking God for a baby. I understood all too well what Hannah was going through when the Bible talks about her weeping in anguish… Continue reading Sorrow to Joy – A Joyful Mother
Promises For Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding was the thing I was most nervous about while pregnant, I think. I had never done it before, obviously, and I wasn't sure if I was "strong enough" to do it. It was my desire to breastfeed, but I wasn't sure if I'd go through with it. I had to have a c-section and… Continue reading Promises For Breastfeeding
Sweet Sleep
My daughter is seriously the best baby ever. She has definitely spoiled us. She could have been sleeping through the night at a month old if this first time mommy wasn't worried about her getting enough nutrition. I would go in and WAKE her up in the middle of the night to feed her. She'd… Continue reading Sweet Sleep
The Journey Begins – Why I Started This Blog
It's been on my heart to start a mommy blog about my journey of fearless joy. When I found out I was pregnant with my firstborn, I was overwhelmed with different emotions. I was excited, nervous, but also fearful. What if something happened to the baby? What if I wasn't a good mother? What if… Continue reading The Journey Begins – Why I Started This Blog
