When Christmas Cheer Becomes White Noise

By Emily E. Bennett on Friday, November 29, 2019

“I just need a break,” I think to myself. The holidays have already worn me out and Thanksgiving was an overlooked afterthought. The world is picking up speed in loud anticipation of December, spinning faster and faster, screaming at me like white noise, “Christmas is coming!! Have you bought your gifts? Decorated your house?? Watched …

Anniversary: Five Years of I Do

By Emily E. Bennett on Friday, November 22, 2019

It was a beautiful November day, full of blue skies, laughter, and the normal drama that comes with any wedding. On this day (11/22) five years ago, I said “I do” to my best friend, my confidante and secret-keeper, and finally my husband. The man who captures my heart and holds it gently in his …

By Emily E. Bennett on Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Do you ever feel like you work and work and work only to feel like you’re a rat on a spinning wheel and the joke is on you–heads up, you’re not going anywhere? Like, you haven’t sat down or really taken a break in….hold on, days?! That even when the naps happen (do they really …

Time: A Song to Savor

By Emily E. Bennett on Friday, November 8, 2019

Do you ever try to hold on to time? Do you ever bottle it up and try to save it? Or do you squeeze it so tightly yet still feel it stealthily slipping through your locked-shut fingers like sand through an hourglass? No matter how you try to hold on, time always finds a way …

Breastfeeding: The Struggles and Blessings

By Emily E. Bennett on Wednesday, November 6, 2019

1. You can do anything for {insert amount of time}.  1 minute. 2 hours. 1 week. 6 months. I always think about exclusively breastfeeding in terms of working out, when the instructor screams at you during a plank, saying you have only 30 seconds left. And you think, “Sure! I’ve got this!” Only to realize …

How’s It Going, Friend?

By Emily E. Bennett on Wednesday, October 30, 2019

So how are you? How’s it going? My friend asked over the phone, making me pause in my response.  Three simple words. A loaded question, if you will. A question that could begin a super long, taxing conversation, or become a really brief back and forth of side-stepping everything. What would I say? How’s it …

Hills and Valleys: A God Who Stays

By Emily E. Bennett on Friday, October 25, 2019

In a constant battle of valleys and hills, I was skeptical at first going to the “Come to the Table Tour,” thinking I wouldn’t glean much from this night, but I was sorely wrong. There was so much to learn. I was filled to the brim on this wonderful night of fellowship and worship, and …

When Postpartum Pins You in Purgatory

By Emily E. Bennett on Monday, October 21, 2019

Just when I think I’ve escaped, postpartum hormones wash over me like a fog of darkness. The sun has set, and my husband and I are usually sitting on the couch by the time postpartum sets in, like doom and gloom. No matter how great the day was, how “successful” I felt, postpartum settles in …

Your Presence Matters

By Emily E. Bennett on Tuesday, October 15, 2019

Magic happens in the seemingly mundane. There is something special about singing to my son and hearing him sing back to me. Really belt it out right back at me. Face full-of-emotion, straining through his newfound sounds like he’s really trying to bring it. To bring all the melodious melodies to the air. Making it …

5 Things I learned BEFORE My Natural Birth

By Emily E. Bennett on Saturday, October 12, 2019

Birth stories are always interesting to hear. Everyone has a different story which is so cool! No two stories are alike which makes the whole birth process elusive and difficult to really grasp in your mind.  When I got pregnant with Baby Boy, my first thought was not, “I’m going to try for a natural …
