joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
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]

I’ve been making more of an effort to read more often, either during naptime or once the kids are in bed at night, during the quiet times of day when I really need a few minutes to myself :) After I read Jessica Turner’s The Fringe Hours (which I absolutely loved and highly recommend) I… [Read More]
