Welcome to Light & Clay
Hey there, friend — welcome to Light & Clay!
I’m Shelby — a wife, mama, and small-town girl learning to navigate life with grace, purpose, and a whole lot of Jesus.
For the longest time, I felt a quiet nudge to start writing. Not because I have it all together (I really don’t), but because I needed a space where I could show up fully as I am — messy, learning, growing — and share the journey with others who might feel the same.
This blog was born out of two things:
💛 A desire to grow stronger in my faith, and
🤍 A hope to be real about the beautiful, chaotic seasons of motherhood and marriage.
I named it Light & Clay as a reminder that we’re all works in progress — being molded and refined, lit up by His grace even when we feel worn down or uncertain. Clay is messy, soft, and shaped with love. Light brings warmth, direction, and truth. And this space? It’s a little mix of both.
What You’ll Find Here
On this blog, I’ll be sharing content from my heart including:
🌿 Faith
Reflections from my growing walk with God — what He’s teaching me, where I’m struggling, and how I’m learning to trust Him more deeply.
🍼 Motherhood
The beautiful and chaotic parts of being a mom. You’ll find real talk, toddler life, activities, encouragement, and everything in between.
💍 Marriage
Lessons I’m learning as a wife, including faith-based insights, communication, and grace for the messy moments.
🛍 Lifestyle
Useful product finds, mom-friendly fashion, simple routines, recipes, and cozy homemaking things that make life a little lighter.
Why This Blog Matters to Me
I’m not an expert, an influencer, or anyone who has it all figured out.
But I am someone who wants to live more intentionally.
I want to create a life that’s meaningful — not picture-perfect, but purpose-filled.
And maybe… just maybe… you’re here because you’re craving that too.
So consider this blog a soft space to land. A cozy digital couch where you can breathe, be seen, and feel understood — no matter what season you’re in.
Let’s Do This Together 💛
