Bio
I’m a 30(ish) year old mother of four gorgeous kiddos. Maddie and Makayla are pre-teen twin. Next comes my baby girl, Macey Jo, who is rapidly approaching double digits. And last but not least, my baby boy... Mad Max, who started kindergarten this year.
I have been married to my husband, Matt, for over a decade.
I love God. I love my family. I love to read. I love being outside. I love to run. I love numbers divisible by 5.
I spent 10 years as a manager in retail. Four years ago, my husband and I decided that our crazy, hectic schedules weren’t working for our family anymore and that it would be best for me to stay home.
The transition wasn’t as seamless as I had hoped, and all this time later, we're still workin' through the kinks.
I was inspired to start this blog because of all the ups and downs I’ve experienced as a wife, mom, daughter, Christian, friend, employee, entrepreneur, and a woman in general. I will catalog some of the struggles I went through (and continue to face) in my marriage, faith, and search for self-worth. I also write about my babies, because they make me laugh.
You may be wondering how the title fits into all the topics I’ll be covering. The desire to start a blog has been festering for a while but I couldn’t decide on a theme or a title. One day I had an epiphany to just write a little bit about whatever I wanted and put it under the umbrella of my blog. I had a few posts written but since there wasn’t a theme to them, a name was difficult for me to decide on. Then one morning it just came to me; Sacred Rollercoaster. I knew instantly that this was the name. The rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions I go through every day, in each facet of my life pretty much covers what I write about. Even with the stress and turmoil that accompany the joy and gladness, I wouldn’t trade a second of any of it.
My life is my Sacred Rollercoaster.
This blog is a place for me to share it, along with my opinions, with you. My hope is that by reading my experiences you will be able to relate and know that there's someone else out there goin' through the same stuff you are; you are not alone. I've probably been there and handled the situation poorly, but usually I can glean some sort of learning from my mistakes... or at least a humorous story. :)
