Creating Peace and Joy Where it Matters Most
This time last year I was in Pennsylvania having fun (and also dying of nerves) at my first ever blogging conference. I decided not to go this year, although I would love to, and am a little sad to miss out, but also pleased to be here at home with my own little family. We [...]
Do you ever feel like everything is falling apart? That you could just curl up in a ball and cry? Do you have conversations with yourself that list all the things you are doing wrong? I think most of us do this from time to time. I discussed what to do when you find yourself [...]
Freesias in our sandy backyard. I‘ve been composing this post in my mind for over a month and I still don’t know what I want to say . . . I feel awkward talking about myself to in this way, but I know when a blogger I read stops writing very frequently, I wonder what [...]
Today I’m joining my friend Rebekah and sharing an hour by hour snapshot of my day through pictures. To see Rebekah’s day and the days of others, visit her Day in the Life post.

I love blogging. I also love getting to know you all through your comments, on facebook, twitter, and by reading your blogs too. Thank you so much for supporting this little blog over the past year! Blogging is a fun and fulfilling outlet for me. (Plus it doesn’t create another pile for me to clean [...]
I wrote yesterday about my messy tendencies and wanted to quickly share my clean living room: There are little bits on the floor that need vacuuming, the shelves are still overstuffed, but it’s not terrible, right? I don’t think so. I’m happy with it. It’s lived in. My desire is to make my home a [...]
I’m sitting at my computer drinking tea, and eating chocolate eggs. I’m trying to catch up on email and thought it might be a good time to pop in here and say hello again. This is how I have felt for the past month: Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Burnt Out. I thought it might be worth sharing [...]
