How I lost 70+ pounds- part 2

Featured Humble Motherhood8 Comments

In case you missed it- Part one is here. Truth be told I’m not the best THMer out there, which is why I’ve been so hesitant to even write this post. I don’t always get the chance to eat every three hours, I’m terrible at remembering to snack and other than corn I never… Continue reading How I lost 70+ pounds- part 2

Hello there!

Humble Motherhood

I'm wife to my best friend, mama of two littles here on earth and one up in heaven. I'm passionate about homemaking, books, theology, fostering imagination in my babies and cultivating community wherever the Navy sends us! God has called us as believers to love others well and to let iron sharpen iron (Proverbs 27:17) so that we may encourage and build each other up in Christ. So welcome to the Humble Motherhood village, I'm so grateful you're here!

This sweet girl and her fashion sense just cracks me up 😂 #wannabe90sbabe Anyone else have a kid who enjoys expressing themselves through their wardrobe??

Our #tradingliesfortruth collaboration is continuing and we hope it has been encouraging to you thus far! This week I’m thrilled to introduce you to my friend Amanda, 1/2 of @thehybridhome! She is a mama to 5 sweet kids and has been married to her husband Jason for almost 18 years. She wrote about how God is continually redeeming her from the lie that she is unworthy of love, something that I also struggle with. I highly recommend reading her beautiful story! To get to know Amanda better here are a few Q&As: · Guilty pleasure? A mocha and bacon and cheddar biscuit from Jubala-a local coffee house · Secret life skill? Back in the day I made pottery on a wheel, and fell in love with that art. I was gifted a potter’s wheel from my parents for my birthday year’s ago and still own it but haven’t used it in a long while. I have also hiked the highest peak in NY state. · Blog goals? Speak truth in Jesus name and for His glory and to encourage others to know and live in His love for them I’d also love to hear from you! What is one truth that God has been helping to show you recently? #fridayintroductions

Lord, who have you made this child to be? This is a question I’ve asked repeatedly over the years, with the desire to nourish and disciple my kids hearts WELL. One thing God has showed me through this prayer is that Luke’s love language is quality time, so I’ve tried to squeeze in one on one time with this sweet boy a couple times a week (preferably once a day) to just play and talk to him. I’m an imperfect mama who has been unable to accomplish this in every season we’ve been in, but the Lord is working through my efforts no matter how clumsy they may be. Do you know your kids love languages? Or what is one thing you enjoy doing with them that you know fills their cup up?

Today @missionofmotherhood , @letsmomtogether @thehybridhome and myself are launching a collaboration and series of blog posts called #tradingliesfortruth. Each week we will each be sharing a testimony of lie that we have found freedom from thanks to the gospel at work in our lives! At the end of this 5 part series we will be having a GIVEAWAY!!! Stay tuned for details on how to enter 😉 This week, and the first in our series, is Mikenna! I am so excited for you guys to meet my friend behind @letsmomtogether! *swipe right for a photo of her!* She has three little ones and lives with her husband in Connecticut. On her blog today she talks about breaking free of measuring her worth by others standards! Here are a few Q&As for you to get to know her better: Blog goals? To help, teach, and inspire as many moms as I can to be the best they can be for God, and their children! Something the Lord has been teaching you recently? That growth does not mean simply getting better and better at something everyday. It means mistakes, to grow means making mistakes, learning from them, apologizing and doing my best not to make that same mistake again. Books you’re reading/reading list? I am currently reading The Strong Willed Child, A quiet and Gentle Spirit and about to start You and Me Forever. #letsmomtogether #thehybridhome #missionofmotherhood #humblemotherhood #christianmoms #ig_motherhood #momblog #mombloggers #tradingliesfortruth #intentionalmotherhood #fridayintroduction #followfriday #ff #livingintruth #bloggers #lieswomenbelieve #lieswebelieve #collaboration #giveaway

Exploring with his new friends from #wildandfreejax was the highlight of Luke’s day! We absolutely love getting out in nature and doing it with wonderful people was a huge blessing ☀️

A picture perfect home is not something I’m aiming to achieve, rather my prayer is for a hospitable home where all feel cared for. Most of all I want this to be a place where my children feel welcomed. To be themselves, to learn, to grow, to make messes and to not feel the pressures of the outside world. A place for them to know peace, carry it with them in their heart and spread to others ❤️

I stumbled onto a beautiful used book mine this past weekend and it made my heart so happy 😍 As a child I used to read through 10-15 books a week (because that was the maximum number my library would let me borrow at a time 🙈) and now I struggle to read 24 books in a year’s time. Not because my love of books has dwindled, but rather from lack of time and also because it’s easier to veg out in front of a show rather than cracking a book. My word for the year is “nourish” and one of those baby steps is to refresh my heart through reading 💛 do you choose a word for the year? Or what is one goal you have for yourself? I’d love to know and encourage you!

Merry Christmas from the Riggs Family! 🎄
