And just like that, 2025 is already coming to a close. It’s been far too long since I’ve written a blog post, and my heart is definitely feeling it. Writing has always been so therapeutic for me, and I have missed it. There are a number of factors contributing to my lack of posting, the…

Welcome to my corner of the internet!! I am a labor and delivery RN, wife, and mama of the sweetest baby girl! I share all my crazy thoughts, adventures, and ideas here on this page. I hope it gives you a little insight into my life and provides some laughter and encouragement!
For Such a Time as This
The question is not whether our children will face pain in this world. They absolutely will. The question is: how will we equip our children to face pain and suffering with a firm reliance on the sovereignty of God and a confidence in His plans and purposes for their lives? What an incredible calling we have as mothers and fathers in planting the seeds that God will one day use to bring redemption to this fallen world! I was deeply comforted in reading Matthew 5 this morning. It reminded me that I am not raising Seoirse to shield her from hurt. I am raising her to stand out in the midst of that hurt and shine with a light that is not her own.

Strange curves, twists, and…
Healer
Weary. That word could describe a lot of us, couldn’t it?! I know for a fact many healthcare workers feel this deeply right now. Clocking into shift after extra shift, surveying the short-staffed list of coworkers, anticipating the busy flurry of flu season, and struggling to still maintain the best patient care. I’ve been told…
Making Connections
“Hello! My name is Siobhan, and I am going to be your nurse today!” I cannot tell you all how surreal it felt to be able to say these words for the first time. Once I officially got my nursing license there was no more standing in the shadow of a preceptor or instructor. There…
August 6th
Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite. On August 6th, 2022, Brendan asked me to marry him. We got engaged at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens in a moment I will treasure for the rest of my life. When Brendan’s original photography plan fell through, he asked sweet Shaila to take our engagement…
