Hello, 2023 & Purpose



January 3, 2023

As I sit here in my daughter’s room, watching her snooze for the first time in her own crib (fingers crossed we move up here for night time sleep soon!) and hear my sons giggling in the playroom just down the hallway, I am filled to the brim with gratitude. The absolute purest form of it. 2022 taught me, if I am honest, some of the basics all over again. I spent my 20’s working hard, losing sleep at night worrying about things like baseline numbers and employees, building companies, and running different businesses. And at the drop of a hat, I said “no more”… I want basic. We are talking like, shelter, food, basic needs met kind of basic. Sometimes, life makes you just abundantly grateful for the littlest, most basic things like baby cheeks that squish into your lips when you kiss them and food on the table that you planned and prepared, and a home we love and have the joy of living in. I will never view anything the same after my late 20’s and all that life dished at us, and my goodness I am thankful for that. After a series of events that put life perspective more clear than ever for me, I chose to sell my company to be home more and grieved a lot of “how it was.” Don’t read that just as financially or anything like that, although we did have to make some massive changes with this initial move in my job title. But I grieved “how it was” relationally with people I once did life with, “how it was” as I turned the big 30, “how it was” as my season of birthing babies came to a close. “How it was” before kids vs now as I navigate rediscovering Hannah, the mommy. I could go on and on about what “how it was” means to me as the chapter pages have turned to “how it is.”

As we enter into this new year, I hear “purpose” loud and clear for me to pursue. The calling, as a mom, wife, and leader in our church. Purpose as a writer and as I navigate what I love so much about this space and community I spent so much of my 20s building. It all looks new and different, and I am so excited. There is something thrilling and giddy bubbling under the surface as I turn this chapter. Paul and I have said a lot over the last two months “we will just never be the same” in the most beautiful and life-changing ways. All positive things even when it took some painful pruning and plowing to get to the basics. I picture a field that’s been plowed down to the very best soil. The dirt was so full of dozens of seeds that had been tested over the years that alone, these seeds worked. But after time and years of seasons and growth… some of the seeds just didn’t work alongside each other anymore. They were choking each other out, and the only way to fix it was to plow it all down. We had to plow down to the purest, cleanest version of the field to start new growth. We had to decide what we would intentionally plant and what holds purpose for our family moving forward. I had too many seeds growing in one field, and they just couldn’t co-exist anymore. I had to decide which ones were done seasonally and which ones were done for good. It was difficult, but it has brought forth more life than ever before.

Purpose.

I am excited about 2023. I am ready to tackle goals and things I have put on the back burner for 5 years. I am ready to rediscover Hannah this year. A Hannah who has lost some things but gained so much. Hannah who meets the needs of 3 little faces every day, but also has her own she wants to give attention to again. I am excited. I am ready to show up here again, and I mean really show up. I am excited to get reacquainted.

So, hey. I am Hannah. I am 30. I have 3 babies on this side of heaven and one angel girl. I have the best husband. I have gained a few wrinkles and pounds over the last five years as I have birthed my babies and shared about it all here as I was able to. I lead a church alongside my husband in Frisco, TX. It is the greatest joy and journey of our lives. An absolute privilege. I love life. I love good food. I love a quality pair of shoes and a fun, colorful closet. I love being the closet friends ask to peruse for an event they have. I love cooking and I LOVE being mommy. I believe in forgiving quickly and recognizing people are all just doing their best. Cheers to 2023. Cheers to my 30’s. Cheers to the best ahead.

xoxo,

Hannah

Advent for Kids Under 5!



November 4, 2022

Alright my friends! Not only has my favorite time of year officially begun, it’s one of my favorite times of year with my kids to teach them the Bible. I have shared over the years how I teach Knox about Jesus, but especially how we implement Jesus and the season of Advent into Christmas time and I tend to get quite a few questions when I show glimpses in my stories. So I wanted to finally just get everything I can help with in one spot if you’re looking for ways to add a greater focus on Jesus while also having so much fun still this Christmas season.

First, the season of Advent is the official Christmas season, if you will, in the Church. This year is Nov 27th-Dec. 24th! It’s meant to represent the anticipation of Jesus’ birth as well as the anticipation we feel as believers for his return one day. The actual definition of “advent” is the anticipation of a notable person! That’s the entire idea of taking the entire month leading up to Christmas Day to celebrate, prepare, and recognize the reason behind why we celebrate Christmas: JESUS!

Resources I Use:

  1. Jesus Story Book Bible (Read the section about the birth of Jesus)
  2. Kids Read Truth: We have their christmas story book from a few years ago that is sadly not available anymore. BUT, I LOVE this new tool they have and want to buy for us this year, too. It’s scripture ornaments you hang on the tree that tell the story of Jesus’ birth the closer you get to the 25th! How cute would these be on a mini tree for a special advent tree!? This would be so helpful as you navigate teaching a verse each day and what to focus on! If you were to buy one thing to begin Advent in your home, I would say get this!
  3. Advent Calendar: I have an interactive calendar I have legit had since I was 6 years old. I put a chocolate kiss behind each door and then also with the calendar is a piece to hang on the nativity scene behind each door. Every morning, we get to eat our special chocolate treat and hang the piece up wherever Knox (and now this year, Rory) wants to and I teach the significance of that piece to the story. If you need help with that part, you can stick to reading the story from Luke in the Bible or the Jesus Story Book Bible! Then after I finish a quick teaching, I say “So why do we get to have special treats and get gifts during Christmas?” And they reply “Because Jesus is the best gift EVER!” And then I say “And why did Jesus have to come?” They reply, “To kick the devil’s booty!”
  4. We also do 25 days of fun through the advent season. I set a budget with Paul and then I plan 25 activities and outings we surprise the kids with each day. One day could be as simple as watching Elf and trying spaghetti with syrup like Buddy or doing hot cocoa and driving around for lights together!
  5. A final thing we do too make sure we keep Jesus at the forefront of the season is that anytime we can say it, Santa is for FUN and Jesus is FOR REAL. We will never reassure Santa is real or that his magic is real. We make it very clear it is for fun!
