joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
Exciting announcement: we are working on our Summer giveaway bundle which will publish later this month. One area blogging has blessed me with is a strong community of handmade makers, mamas, and women of creativity/inspiration. I’ve always love this, being a blogger. If you are a shop owner and would like to join us for… [Read More]
Yesterday we spent the entire day at home. It rained on & off, so I went outside only to rotate our clothes drying on the laundry rack. I didn’t get to run, and it absolutely did not surprise me how much I missed my run. (I have a healthy addiction.) A sparkly highlight from yesterday… [Read More]
Our seventh wedding anniversary was yesterday and we celebrated all weekend long, hooray! We booked our favorite babysitter on Saturday and hopped around to a couple different restaurants, then spent Sunday together as a family. Something I very much appreciate about Zack is how selfless he is, which in turn makes it easier for me… [Read More]

Each of these events are like hearts of gold to me. The women in our lives, the ones… [Read More]
Where have I been the last thirteen days? Oh, not any one place really, but also everywhere. (Yes, that makes total sense.) + I hadn’t been running much, so Monday of this week I re-dedicated myself and it feels so good. I’ve been running to a park that has a HUGE hill. Every day I… [Read More]
It’s time for a little “life around here” post, yeah? :) So I’ve got a new beauty secret for my curly hair. Wanna know what it is? A shower cap. You can stop laughing, I’m for real. On days 2 (and 3) of no shampooing I use a shower cap to preserve my volume. To… [Read More]
