Writing My Way Through Motherhood

Hi! My name is Jerrell and this is my cute family.

My husband, Sam, is my actual best friend. We met in college and have been married for five years. He’s a campus minister and the world’s greatest dad. Harper (left) is our oldest. She’s smart and funny and I fully expect her to win an Oscar one day (in other words, she’s dramatic). Avery (right) is our middle child. She is as fast as lightening and stronger than any toddler I’ve ever seen. As a devoted fan of the Magnificent Seven (all of the 90s kids and older know what I’m talking about), I’m tempted to put her into gymnastics now and pray that she makes it onto the olympic gymnastics team one day, but I’m trying not to become a stage mom just yet. Ella is the baby of our family. She is a magical unicorn who slept through the night at eight weeks old, rarely cries and has a laugh that could cure even the worst of days. These four people bring out the best (and worst, if I’m being honest) in me. They cheer for me, stretch me, make me smile, and, most importantly, push me closer to Jesus every single day. Nearly everything I write revolves around them in some way so you can expect to read stories about breastfeeding, potty training, and loving your spouse even when you’re sleep deprived here. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you’ll stay a little while.
