We have had a good week, and I’m thankful. How has your week been? Or rather, your month of January? January started off on a heavy note with sickness. Chills, the rawest sore-throat, and a hammering headache. Slowly (and thankfully), the germs left and we are back together, back as a family unit, back trying… [Read More]
The books I read in 2021, plus a reading tip for mothers
HI! HAPPY NEW YEAR… ten days later ;) I’m chuckling as I type this post. Last year was busier than I had anticipated, and in many ways, it was much better than I could have wished it to be. There were two big changes for our family: Zack accomplished his first year in business (he… [Read More]
In the evening.
It’s late, and I’ve just crawled into bed, thrilled to be between the soft flannel sheets. The cool of the night surrounds me, but I can feel the warmth coming. It builds like mid-day in the summer, when the backyard is quiet and the heat of the sun rests like a lightweight blanket. Calm, warm,… [Read More]
How do you handle change as a mother?
The last year has really caused me to stop and think about change. How do I adjust to change? How do other women adjust to it? Am I open to accepting change? What changes have been the hardest to accept; the easiest? Here’s how I handle change: History proves Zack and I are very open… [Read More]
Life around here!
Good afternoon! As I write to you I’m seated at a large table inside a library, and I’m happy to be spending time in this building once again. I really enjoy being surrounded by so many books and patrons interested in learning and growth. Zack and I are re-watching Downton Abbey, and in one recent… [Read More]

Breath prayers.
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]
