Learning Curve



As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine, but finding the time, finding the bravery, and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way, but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog. I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger, fear of what friends and family would think, and most of all fear of letting myself down. But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve.

Ideally this blog will move from a personal blog to a lifestyle blog where I share the million things that go through my head daily. I want to be in prayer constantly and I want to follow the Lord in my post. I want this to be a place where I not only share where the Lord has moved in my life, but also for you as the reader/friend share where the Lord has moved in yours. I want to share the beauty but also the struggles that are motherhood. I want to write about our journey of being dairy free and the recipes that we find through it. I want to share my fitness journey and the new passion of the gym. I want to share all of this and so much more! 

So as part of the learning curve I am changing the name of this beautiful blog that holds our stories. Lace in Denver captured my heart immediately following our wedding. Our wedding was filled with delicate pieces of lace everywhere and it created this softness, this classic feeling. When I chose this name I needed this place to hold the softness in our crazy journey of life in Denver, and it did. Since then we have made Colorado our permanent home. We have purchased a home in Littleton and I no longer need this to be a soft place. I need this to be a place to share once again the beautiful struggles of life, so that is this. 

Welcome to Beautiful Struggles, hope you enjoy the learning curve.

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

One Month

My Sweet Princess,  One month, how did that happen? There's a Winnie The Pooh quote that states "Oh no, please. Can't we just go back to page one and start all over again?", and sweet baby that is exactly how I feel. Oh how I would love to go back to day one and meet you all over again, and yet I cannot wait to see who you become.  You currently look just like your daddy, especially with your beautiful almond shaped eyes. Your hair is a light brown, but I believe everyone still has their fingers crossed that you will end up with red hair like your daddy (though I would be okay with a brown haired little girl). Your eyes my sweet girl are blue, I believe they are my eyes (but who knows). Your eyes have changed from sleepy eyes that look like they are looking through you to these big blue eyes that are filled with wonder. My favorite moments are when you are lying on my chest and you turn and look up at me. In those moments I feel like you k...
