Hey everyone! I know I’ve been a bit quiet here on the blog. But believe me, I HAVE been communicating… it’s just been through email lately! (In a very tiny nutshell, my life has been “nuts,” (giggling because that’s a pun) and we’re moving back to my home town on Saturday). Hence why I haven’t been blogging quite as much. …SO, if you’re… Read more
I did something fun this week! I had the opportunity to partner with Luvs to throw a #whatuluv baby party with my friends!

It was beyond adorable. The concept was: set aside… Read more

Contentment is a daily discipline. It’s something I think about. After experiencing its fruit in my life, I’ve learned to love it –to make the choice. I’ve learned to seek it out. As Paul says in Philippians 4:12-13, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the… Read more
Sometimes I think about the end goals of my homemaking. In the midst of work that can easily feel endless, cyclical, and mundane, I wonder, “what am I actually trying to do here, and why?” As I think about it, I can actually get pretty excited! What am I trying to do through my homemaking? What does it mean to live… Read more
Today I’m giving you a peek into one way I parent my emotional child, who shall remain nameless… 😉 Let’s just say, feelings run high for this little one. But as she’s gotten older, we’ve uncovered two empowering truths to teach her. These truths have made a difference in her ability to cope with and overcome her own emotions (both rational and irrational). So, I’m… Read more
Creating a “stop doing list” can be a great way to rein ourselves back in when our lives don’t match our priorities. I’ve been slowly working my way through the Make Over Your Evenings Course, which has been great!

More on that below.… Read more

When I was a first-time mom, my husband and I shared a vehicle, a white 2006 Pontiac Vibe. It wasn’t a big deal because we could fit everything we needed for our one child, and we still had plenty of space. At the time, I remember our first conversations about “the dreaded minivan.” I said the words that so many other… Read more
