Today feels like a great day to share with you some “breath prayer” art made by my real-life friend, Lisa! Her shop, My Little Buffalo, features beautiful and perfectly simplistic illustrations (family portraits & wall art). I was first introduced to the concept of a breath prayer through the writings of the late Shelly Miller…. [Read More]
The battle, the war, and the sign in the shadow.
You may remember me sharing that last summer, Zack and I began waking up at 4:30 in the morning to read scripture, worship, and pray. It was such an enriching time for us, especially as we were navigating his job loss in March and we suddenly found ourselves with an abundance of time at home…. [Read More]
One of my favorite songs
Last summer, Zack and I began waking up at 4:30 am to worship, read scripture, and pray. This song quickly became one of my favorite songs. As the months passed, I had stored even more of God’s wisdom in my heart, and as I listened to the words sang in the song, it was a… [Read More]
An assortment of good things happening…
HAPPY MONDAY to you! This month brought a handful of fun surprises, delights and a few laughing snorts. I’d love to share them with you… The first is our new couch arrived! It’s light gray, tufted, a sectional (glory!) and Mid-Century Modern in design. We all love it so much! Max told me today, “I don’t… [Read More]
The joy is what remains
I’m writing to you in the evening which generally is not when I write, but tonight IT IS when I’m writing. Normally at this time of day I have very little comprehendible thoughts. Let’s see what I’m able to put together… The day is coming to an end for our four young children. They’re being… [Read More]
Thirteen thoughts in March…
Feeling very, very grateful for some of the personal changes I’ve made since November of last year, which I’ve mentioned briefly. Here’s what’s been transformative for my mental health: vitamins, caffeine awareness, an increase of sleep, and “doing” something when I feel my anxiety flare. Last month I added to the mix, “step back from… [Read More]
An update on my reading list!
Back in January I shared a list of books already on my bookshelf that I hope to read this year. I’m happy to share I’ve read three of them, which brings my reading total for the year to seven books! Of course there are many books I don’t own that I want to read (I… [Read More]
Winter walks in Michigan
Before winter “officially” ends for the season I wanted to share these photos from a family walk we took one morning. Zack had been out of town for a whole week and we missed him dearly, so our next full day back together as a family we loaded our basket of winter gear and went… [Read More]
A homeschool resource as you prepare to celebrate spring
Hi, friends! Well, we jumped back into homeschool this morning, at precisely 9:37am, after taking a week off for “mid-winter break”. Before we gathered at the table to learn we feasted on bacon, eggs and buttermilk pancakes. I definitely know how to lure them in ;) But in all seriousness, sometimes “having something to look… [Read More]
