Hi!

I'm Rebekah, a former copy editor who traded in my red pen to chase my kids around all day and share stories here at Write the Rough Draft. Wife of a woodworker and mom of two daughters, my hobbies include photography, reading too many books at a time, and forgetting to turn on the dryer. You can also find me at The Drafting Desk, an email newsletter for those longing for freedom over perfection.

She came into our world when we least expected and turned it upside down in the very best way. She is so many things—her big sister’s answered prayers, our breath of fresh air, the source of my gray hairs, a song of redemption. Happy four, baby girl.⠀ ⠀ #somuchjoy #rainbowbaby #mushymommoment

For the beauty of the earth,⠀ For the beauty of the skies,⠀ For the love which from our birth⠀ Over and around us lies,⠀ Lord of all, to thee we raise⠀ This our hymn of grateful praise⠀ 🎵⠀ #learningtopayattention #kidart #earthday

Metamorphosis: teaching me to nurture, to be still, to be patient, and to let go of control that was never mine anyway. #learningtopayattention

Soaking up these afternoon-in-the-backyard days.

I started these babies in a pot from seeds, not knowing exactly what kind of seeds they were—it was a packet that said something vague about bees and wildflowers. They sprouted up initially but looked dead as could be when I finally moved them out of the pot and into the ground. I pretty much dumped their remains into a patch of soil. Something made me keep watering them anyway though, and I’m so grateful! What a gift to discover teeny blooms. #keepwatering #turningmyblackthumbgreen #itssimplytuesday #iwentlookingforbeauty

Sisterhood can be complicated yet oh so simple. I love finding them like this on Saturday mornings, the recipients of each other’s sleepy cuddles. I hope they always know what a gift they are to each other. #mushymommoment #sixyearsapart #kindredmom #cuddleandkind #smallmomentliving
