2026 is the year we bring our 4th child into the world. Children are a total blessing, there is zero doubt about that — parenthood also has brought some of the most exhausting and trying days of my entire life; constantly leaving me questioning if I’m capable of doing this again.
The truth is, I’m not capable on my own. I need the Lord and his mercy every minute of every day.
He has given me tools to help make my days more at peace, yet, Satan finds a way to distract always. Here are a few free tools the Lord has given us to protect our peace:
1. Social media — always a distraction for me. Always disturbing my peace by constantly consuming the worlds tragedies while also showing me ways that Im not good enough and filtering my feed with ads for how I can be doing better as a mother, daughter, wife, friend, entrepreneur etc.. so for protecting my peace in 2026, these apps are leaving my phone. Email to book :)
2. Incorporating daily walks has proven time and time again that it improves my quality of life physically and emotionally by like 500%!!! In the winter I give myself every excuse to not go outside. This needs to become a non negotiable.
3. I read my Bible every morning, but my phone/social media always take first priority. It’s an addiction. If I’m not fully present with Him I’m not able to recognize His beautiful graces when they’re shown.
4. Seasonal depression is real and for good reason. I never truly realized the impact of Vit D deficiency since becoming a mom and dreading the awful loop of fighting to get winter clothes on, so I just avoid going outside all together. For our own health, physically and mentally, we need time in the sun in the warmth at least once a month. This has to become a non negotiable, and doesn’t need to be fancy.
I hope 2026 brings you peace ✌️ 🤍
