Spent my 30th birthday with my birthday buddy in @legolandflorida! This kiddo is and will always be my best birthday gift, and I can’t believe he’s already five—wouldn’t want to share this day with anyone else! 29 was a tough year, so taking the time to have fun together as a family and celebrate life has been a much needed blessing. (Also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wear matching shirts because I know he won’t think it’s cool forever. 🤓) #birthday #birthdayboy #everythingisawesome #legolandflorida #legolandbirthday #fridayvibes #thirtyflirtyandthriving #thirtiethbirthday

We go together like PB&J. 🤓 thankful for my valentine ♥️ #happyvalentinesday #valentines #fridayfeels #pbandj #theoffice

This new title releases TOMORROW and you’ll definitely want to snag a copy for your young kiddos! @jill.r.lord is one of our favorites in the Holloman house, and her latest title doesn’t disappoint! THE QUIET CRAZY EASTER DAY imagines what it was really like on the day Jesus rose from the grave. Would creation have stayed silent? Hardly! There may have been shouts, croaks, baas, bleats, and howls! Readers are encouraged that they have their own unique ways they can celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and share the good news with everyone. I’ve had the chance to sit in some classes taught by Jill as well as talk with her about writing, and she truly does a wonderful job of sharing biblical truths with rhyme. So be sure to snag this and any other of her many titles! Also, @kelly.illustration’s illustrations in this book are absolutely gorgeous. (You should def give her a follow bc her posts are beautiful!) #raisingreaders #childrensbooks #childrenspicturebooks #bookillustration #bookshelf #goodreads #bookstagram #picturebookart #kidlit #picturebookillustration #quietcrazyeasterday #kidlitart #readingtogether #readingtogrow

In the days and weeks after my losses, I was convinced each one was my fault. The one place that was supposed to be the safest place for my children turned into their place of death. I felt broken and defective; the guilt, while misplaced, was suffocating. • • Grief is a strange thing. It often severs the connection between our hearts and our heads. In our minds we know what is true, but our hearts try to convince us otherwise. • • I knew it wasn't my fault, but it didn't feel that way. And every time someone asked, "Why?" or "What happened?" it felt like an accusation. I had no answer. So it had to be me, right? • • I'm grateful for the people God placed in my path in those early days who looked me in the eye and said, "This is not your fault." I desperately needed that reminder. And not only hearing it but accepting it has given me freedom to move forward in my grief. • • Recently I came across these words while reading "Grace Like Scarlett": (1) You are not responsible for your miscarriage. (2) You've got to let this idea go. • • I don't know who needs to be reminded of this right now, but if I were sitting across from you, I'd look you straight in the eye and say these words. It's not your fault. Don't give this lie a foothold; because if you let it, it will destroy you. And literally nothing good or helpful can come from shouldering the blame for something that was completely out of your hands. This is one of the many things in life we just don’t get an answer or reason for this side of heaven; but the good news is that God, in his sovereignty, is trustworthy—even when (especially when) we don’t understand. And for the Christian, that can be enough. (Psalm 62:8) • • #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #miscarriagesupport #healing #griefsupport #griefjourney #pregnancylosssupport #thursdaymotivation

Excited to be a part of this new book, “The Power to Make a Difference: Strategies, Insights, and Encouragement in Forty Short Bible Studies,” from Lighthouse Bible Studies, releasing January 28! I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this compilation alongside so many other gifted writers. Be sure to check it out! #writersofinstagram #amwriting #writewritewrite #writerscommunity #releasedate #lighthousebiblestudies #compilation #bookcompilation #bookshelf #amreading #goodreads

New year, new books! One of our goals as a family is to stay intentional with two things: family devotions, and having FUN. we’re excited to use this devotional from @revellbooks written by @timshoemaker1 (thanks for the gift, @leighathomaswrites!). I’ve had the opportunity to sit in some classes taught by Tim Shoemaker at @brmcwc, and his passion for connecting with young people through writing was contagious. When I read the title to my son, he perked up immediately at the word “dangerous” (I mean really, what could be more thrilling to a boy?). These devotions include everything from lighting toothpaste on fire to electrocuting a pickle, and each fun adventure points to a biblical truth. We can’t wait to get started! . . What are some resources your family uses to have fun and apply biblical truths together? . . #readtogether #familydevotions #devotional #kidsdevotions #kidlit #bookshelf #goodreads #bookstagram #childrensbooks #revellbooks #familydevotions
