I am the creator of the Eat Pray Wife blog. My plan for this blog is to connect women and families who can identify with words like "real" and "raw" when it comes to their life experiences. Through food, faith, and relationships, I believe we can make the world a little better. The Eat Pray Wife blog exists to show us how.

On Being a Big Dreamer and Wanting it All
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the one with the big dreams! I’ve never doubted that they couldn’t come true either. I didn’t just dream of being a mom or having a career. I dreamed of having it all. That’s my big problem. I want it all, and I refuse to settle. I don’t refuse to sacrifice though, and that’s how I’ve … Continue reading On Being a Big Dreamer and Wanting it All
When a non-crier becomes a Mama
If you know me very well, or maybe not much at all, you might know that I cry about 3 times per year. Don’t get me wrong, I experience my emotions intensely. I’m a true empath, and I carry my burdens hard. I love hard, and I also feel hard. I just don’t cry though 😂 It’s honestly kinda weird… I can feel like I’m … Continue reading When a non-crier becomes a Mama
Pregnancy: Learning to Not be in Control
The most important thing I’ve learned during pregnancy: I’m not in control, and that’s okay. My body is taking over in ways I would not even know how to explain… meaning, it’s all good. My body was designed to know what to do even when I’m not really sure what’s happening. For example, my hips are naturally (through God’s wonderful design) beginning to shift and … Continue reading Pregnancy: Learning to Not be in Control
Bringing a Laser Focus into 2022
Happy New Year!! Today, we’re setting our intention for 2022, and we are selecting and claiming our word for this new year! When I look back on my “word for the year” these last few years, I can so easily see the pattern of God’s plan over my life. In the moment, I felt Him moving, but I didn’t see this same pattern. 2018: REST … Continue reading Bringing a Laser Focus into 2022
Scriptures for the Mamas & Mamas in Waiting
To all the women who come across this post, thank you for being here. I like to think of my journey to Motherhood as one that began before I saw the positive sign on a pregnancy test. I truly believe it began the first moment I realized that God was calling me to the role of Mama, and this includes my season as a Mama … Continue reading Scriptures for the Mamas & Mamas in Waiting

Watching You Become A Dad
I get asked all the time: how did you tell Ryan? Was he there when you found out? Here’s how it all went down ♡ Telling a man that he’s becoming a father is a pretty big conversation. Like huge… and I took the responsibility very seriously. Before telling him about the first positive test, I took 4 more just to be EXTRA sure! I … Continue reading Watching You Become A Dad

The Wife is Becoming a Mother
Today’s post is one I prayed I would get the chance to write one day, and I am absolutely bursting at the seams to be living out a real dream come true. God has remained so consistent in this whole journey, and I want to begin by saying that I give Him all the glory, honor and praise. He is good now, He was good … Continue reading The Wife is Becoming a Mother
Our family is growing ✨ April 2022
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father” – James 1:17 I can’t possibly tell you how grateful, excited, and humbled we are by this most incredible blessing. This journey has already shown me how gracious God is with my heart, how incredible Ryan will be as a father, and how motherhood is changing everything I thought I knew about … Continue reading Our family is growing ✨ April 2022
“I can breathe again”
I’m about to be real honest. These last few weeks have been really hard. A morning last week, I walked passed Ryan, and he asked “what’s wrong?” and all I could say was “my brain sucks today.” He didn’t know that the entire morning, every critical, harsh thing I’d ever heard had been running on repeat in my mind that morning. But I put a … Continue reading “I can breathe again”
