When it comes to blogging, I really love a good read! I love tend to be drawn toward blogs about faith, family, and crafting (I love to read about DIY that is easy enough for someone like me who is challenged in the crafting world, to complete it successfully).

The first blog you can find here. It is written by a mother, wife, christian woman, amazing with crafts, and shares the most amazing recipes! I knew Ruthie from high school, and when she started blogging a couple of years after graduated, she was the first blog I ever read, and ever followed! She is amazing with pretty much everything from motherhood all the way down to crafts, and you will love to follow her blog and her two little kids (Ford and Lucy). You will, without a doubt, love this blog!
The second blog I love to read, you can find here. Sarah is such a fun blog writer, and I love how down to earth she is! She is also a wife, mother to two precious baby (Crue and LC) and I just LOVE how real she is. She is probably the best interior decorator I have seen as well! I mean, you should definitely look at her blog post on her baby girls nursery, it’s amazing! Hope you all pay her a visit as well!
This third blog definitely hits close to my heart! You can find her link here. Alaina is also a wife, and mother to two precious twin girls (Rhyann and Logan). She is so pure and writes such powerful and strong blogs that definitely make you think twice about what you are going through in your life. She struggled with infertility and with the birth of her twin girls, her outlook on life has changed, and I love to follow along for the ride! I think you will too!
This fourth blog you will love, you can find here. Brey is also a wife, teacher, and loves to blog on the side. Once I found her blog, I couldn’t leave for a while. Her blog posts are amazing to all the new bloggers(me) out there and she gives such good advice to us and what has worked out for her in the long run. She takes amazing pictures, loves working out, loves to eat healthy food, and is just overall fun! I think without a doubt, she is definitely a blog you would want to follow! 🙂
Then, there’s my 5th blog! You can find it here. Melissa is a wife and mother to three precious kiddos (Liliana,Delilah,and Kohanna). Two sweet girls and one precious boy. Melissa is an artist, photographer, videographer, and loves anything organic and natural. I recently started following her blog, and it has definitely become one of my top favorite blogs pretty quick! I think a lot of mommas out there could benefit from following her!

I hope that you get to find some intriguing new blogs! 🙂

Surprise!!

I can’t believe that my brother is now 28! The night before, I did not get good sleep at all since I decided to stay up past midnight, and Brielle surprised both of us (shane and I) and woke up at 4:30am and wouldn’t go back to sleep(she usually does). So needless to say, we layed in both with wishful thinking that she would go back to sleep with us, which resulted in mommy just throwing in the towel around 6:15am and just getting ready for the day. I asked Brielle if she wanted to go for a walk, or if she wanted to go to Lockhart to surprise Uncle Nathan for his birthday. She definitely went for option number 2, and so we told Shane and off we were heading toward Lockhart!

We stopped by donut shop (since my parents had my niece and nephew over there already), and got some much needed coffee and we made one more pit stop to get him some balloons (one Brielle picked, and I chose the one that said “dude, you’re old”. My brother got to my moms house a couple hours after we did, and he was SO happy to see us and his kids waiting to surprise him for a fun filled day!

First, we played for a while at my moms and then all went out to eat lunch (at Bella Sera) at this delicious Italian restaurant and then all headed back to my parents house to get ready to take all the kids swimming! We had so much fun swimming with every one and in just a couple of months, the kids have gotten SO much better at swimming and feeling more confident in the water! To say that we all had such a blast was an understatement! I also love the fact that my brother said that this was “the best birthday ever”!

Good job mom for setting everything up for Nathan, and for allowing it possible for him to be with all of his loved ones on his special day!

Nathan- I can’t believe 28 years have passed, and I am so glad that you have grown into such an amazing, hard-working father/adult, and I am so proud of you! I can’t wait to see what this future holds for you! LOVE you and Happy Birthday Bro!!

Faith, Family, love

Welcome to my blog! :)

A little while back, I knew I had to make a change from my old blog to try to grow myself into this blogging world! I never thought I would enjoy writing (because let me tell you in school, English was definitely one of my least favorite subjects!) and reading as much as I do now as an adult, and I truly found that documenting important life events and just things that I probably won’t remember, sounded like a fun opportunity and that’s when I decided to start my blog last year!

There are so many things that I still don’t understand and am trying to figure out about this community, but so far, everyone has been welcoming me with open arms and my questions have generally been answered pretty quickly.

Here is a little bit about me. My name is Sheridan Johnson, I am a wife to my sweet husband Shane, a follower to Jesus Christ, a mom to three precious kids, and I am also an RN. I love to blog about the journeys and struggles that have happened in my own life, but also so many of the joyous moments as well!

A few facts about me is that I LOVE the color pink. I mean, it’s kind of a weird obsession, but I honestly love all the shades of pink (thank you God for blessing us with two sweet girls). I was never really a coffee drinker growing up (actually if you ask anyone who knew me, they would tell you how much I hated the smell), but something happened during nursing school with all of the late nights/early mornings that I just started to enjoy the taste (ok, well with a LOT of creamer) and I like to have a nice warm cup of coffee in the mornings when I can. I work as an RN and have two jobs, one in the nursing home and one in the pediatric field (both sides of the spectrum and really so many similarities). I would really say that I used to LOVE going out and meeting people, but as I have grown up, I really think I take on a more of a introvert personality and lifestyle and just stick to the people that I know and love to spend time with now. I absolutely strongly dislike to drive, but I have to commute weekly to my pediatric home health job in Austin, Tx, which is where I grew up and I am from, but I moved to be with my husband in the small town of Yoakum, Tx.

I just wanted to also say a huge WELCOME to all of my new followers, and the old ones that are still here, sticking around and reading my blogs, I just wanted to say thank you and I hope you all stick around for the ride! 🙂 (You can also follow me on instagram, facebook, and pinterest with the links on my page)
