Happy Girl Day 2024!

Every May 11 our family celebrates It’s a Girl! Day. This is the day I found out via my ultrasound we were having a girl. We had prayed for many years for a baby and, specifically, a daughter.

I’ve written other posts about Girl Day including the origin of the holiday and this one from 2021 that includes many pictures from over the years – Celebrating Our 15th “It’s a Girl! Day” (Lots of pictures!).




Do you have pictures of your child from when she (or he) was much younger that seem to perfectly encapsulate some aspect of her personality as she’s grown older? This is one of those for me. My dad took this one when they were visiting. Caroline has an excellent sense of humor and a strong appreciation for laughing at the ridiculous.

We’re so thankful for Caroline. She is a life-changing blessing to us and many others. We are deeply grateful to the Lord to be able to celebrate this answer to prayer each year.

    Yes, we have a picture of our highly-verbal oldest child when she was a baby, very confidently telling us all about something in baby talk.

    God bless your family!

For more than 20 years, I’ve written about following Jesus Christ, thinking for yourself, and building a home life rooted in what is true, beautiful, and eternal.

At A Quiet Simple Life, I share thoughtful essays, relaxed homeschooling encouragement, gifted/2e resources, free printables, and reflections on faith, home, education, culture, and simple living.

This is a place for Christian women and families seeking substance, beauty, discernment, and a quieter way to live. Welcome.
