joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
I’m beginning to prepare my heart for a big upcoming trip to Dallas later this month. It’s been a while (18 months?) since I last traveled to a blog conference, and even though it’s a little scary for me to think about leaving my little boy at home for the weekend, I’m also really looking… [Read More]
Are you ready for Spring? I know so many of you have snow piled up at your home taller than your mailboxes. My parents said the snow behind their garage will probably be there until June ;) So, let’s bring a little bit of that fresh, blooming Spring season into our homes with the help… [Read More]
We had such a lovely weekend fully of relaxing and relaxing and naps and relaxing. It was glorious, and just what I needed after a crazy couple of weeks preparing for Caroline-made to launch.

Remember that one time I wrote a post about how to be brave? Well, if I’m totally honest, writing a blog post on being brave doesn’t make you (me) brave. There’s something a little bit scary with following through with an idea, but on the flip side, not following through is just a tad bit… [Read More]
You know what’s amazing? When you have the grand idea to book a babysitter on the eve of a hallmark holiday so you can go out with your hubby for a fun Valentine’s Date, and then you also make plans to celebrate the actual hallmark holiday with a fancy dinner served on your well-loved kitchen… [Read More]
One of the sweetest holidays (in my book at least -wink) will be here on Friday and I looooove any excuse to eat chocolate. Just ask my husband! It’s always fun to receive a couple additional gifts to make a lady feel even more appreciated, right? Which is exactly why I’ve put together these super… [Read More]
