These are the days of: deciding to go to bed early rather than read a book slow sips of creamy, morning coffee (and reminding myself to measure my hard moments in small doses). tending my houseplants: wiping the leaves with a damp cloth, pruning leaves, watering the soil. noticing the stacks of books in our home,… [Read More]
Lightbulbs of encouragement.
A list of five things that have been like lightbulbs of encouragement (within the last 24 hours): This statement I shared on Facebook yesterday morning: “Yesterday I spent approx. 58 seconds on Instagram & my day was approx. 2000% BETTER.” Less scrolling, more enjoying MY current — that about sums it up.

A game of Evening Chase…
At the beginning of January, I wrote out my priorities. I shared them here, but I also physically wrote them out and taped them to the wall above my writing desk.

Life around here.
We’ve had a full, rich week. A week where most nights, Zack and I snuck a kiss in the kitchen before switching evening shifts; we’re passing parental ships in the night. One night in particular, I didn’t even make it home before his lids fell shut. I walked into our bedroom and then promptly turned… [Read More]
A Wednesday update: writing, soup, and a new notebook…
CLEARLY the Lord is working on something within me, because I’m still struggling with my writing. For weeks (months?) I felt like maybe it just wasn’t “in the cards” for me to continue as a writer.
