Olivia

This morning I sat at the island, trying to catch up on blogs. Sometimes reading others words is healing. Sometimes you think "if I could formulate words a little better, I so could have written that post" which this morning was this one from (in)courage

When I finished going through the posts that sparked my interest, I'm sorry, that's just the season I'm in. I am not longer able to read through all of my feed. I asked Olivia what I should write about because she was sitting at the island with me, in typical 7 year old fashion she said "me!" 


That's my Olivia Katelyn. 
She is a twin to that cutie beside her. 
She will be 8, E I G H T, next month.
She is so much like me that sometimes we bash heads.
She is full of life. She goes through life by the beat of her own drum. She's imaginative & dreamy. 
She is so girly. She loves pink & glitter & disney princesses. 
She can go from happy to moody pre-pre-teen in about 5 seconds flat.
She is giving. She serves well.
She is such a little momma, sometimes I have to remind her that I'm actually mom & she needs to not worry about mom things with other children in our lives.
On that note, she will be the best babysitter you'll ever have. One day. When I decided she's old enough.
She tends to be fearful but seeks Jesus when she is.
She has a heart for prayer & often can not go to bed or try new things until she has prayed.
She will not do anything until she's good and ready to. 
She pushes me to love deeper, enjoy life more & not to be afraid of my emotions.

I love this little lady. Some days it scares me to be here momma. But gosh, what a joy & a gift she is daily.

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

But seriously I love it! And let me tell you I can put some tacos back. Our best friends and us have actually started Taco Tuesday so on Tuesdays we make tacos. Now we're just at a point of trying to make it a healthier Taco Tuesday. 2. I love music so much. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to be surrounded by music. If you stop by my house there's a 95% chance you will hear music being played.
