When I think of what I thought Easter 2020 would look like, I never imagined it would involve dragging the dining room table and chairs into the living room so we could live stream our church worship service over the big screen while eating breakfast off our regular dishes and drinking out of water ...
“I’d Like to Come to Visit The New Baby”
Shortly after our third child was born a sweet neighbor friend called and arranged a visit. She said she’d bring her daughter and they wouldn’t stay long, she just wanted to meet the new baby and give me a chance to do any chores or errands I needed to get done. She even offered to watch the baby ...
I could’ve broken down and cried at the store…
I could've broken down and cried at the store on Wednesday. Not for myself, as much for the lack of compassion and empathy in the world today. Don't worry, on account of my disappointment and anger I held it in until much later in the day before the flood gates opened wide and I wept in the ...
Do I Really Need a Bathmat, Anyway?
Years ago my husband and I heard about a Bible study being offered through our church based on the movie Fireproof. As a woman who had a fierce childhood crush on Kirk Cameron, star of growing pains, I signed us right up. We were young, I think we’d been married less than two years. We had two ...
How to Make Rice in the Instant Pot
Making rice in the Instant Pot is just about the easiest thing you can make in a pressure cooker. I know I've shared this on my Facebook and Instagram stories, but I wanted to share it here on the blog too, so you have something to easily reference back to if you need it. The basics: Rice and ...
A Hymnal For Humming
Sunshine + Books + Beverages. It's a beautiful morning, friends. I picked up a hymnal in a box of free books at our homeschool co-op last week and I've enjoyed reading through it and humming/singing familiar tunes. I also quickly realized how many hymns I enjoy have verses I never really knew. ...
Gather The People
I made another new shirt tonight and I'm officially hooked on putting vinyl on my threads. 😍 I'll test this method out with several washes and wears on different materials first, then if all goes well, I'll add them to my shop page (which currently houses affiliate products and I'm ready to change ...
Ride out the Storm
Yesterday morning when I woke up I found out that one of our vehicles had a flat tire, another had a dead battery, and the third was working fine, thank you. There are three drivers in this house and we all three needed to be in different places. Crap. Things felt hard within the first two minutes ...
Achievements Don’t Equal Worth
I made a gluten-free + dairy-free mac and cheese for lunch today. I haven't made macaroni and cheese in years. I was feeling proud of myself as I stirred the golden goodness in my stainless steel pot, since this dish satisfied everyone's intolerances and was pretty healthy! No mom guilt! 🎉 I need ...
Life-Giving Plants
Yesterday was water day for the plants around here. After a trip to IKEA last fall, I gave each of the kids a snake plant for their rooms, and then I kind of forgot about them. Oops! According to my friends on Instagram, this is the best thing I could've done for them (the plants that is). Snake ...
