It’s time for a family chat. You know, those times when you just have to pull everyone into a huddle and update them on certain things? Yep. Consider yourself pulled into this huddle.

real life hope.
I’ve been pondering Hebrews 6:19 this weekend: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” For those who believe in Christ, we can claim Him as our complete hope for eternal life. Without Him, we are lost. But what about now? What about the daily struggles, heartaches, and perplexing situations…

our {picture heavy!} weekend
Hi there! How was your Easter weekend? I don’t know about y’all, but our weather here in the south was a-ma-zing. Rather windy + chilly on Saturday, but really amazing other than that! On Friday, it was so gorgeous outside that I decided to just eat in our front yard. About 15 minutes into preparing…

dwelling richly
On Monday, I shared my burden about the most important thing a mom {or anyone} can do. Those thoughts were taken from my meditations in Colossians 3 – specifically verse 16. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” Dwell richly. What does that even mean? I thought it might be helpful to dig a…

the most important thing a mom can do
As moms, there are a lot of demands on our time. And if you have small children like I do, then you have a lot of moments when the urgent overtakes the important. And sometimes there are two {or more!} urgent things happening at the same time. As in, dinner may be burning in the oven, but if…

why what you treasure has nothing to do with how much you spend
Treasure. It can equal riches, but it doesn’t have to. I can treasure expensive things. But I can also treasure things that are free. This truth hit me full force after I bought my $6 chair. One of my happy thoughts in buying the chair was that it was only $6 – less than a combo…

that time I almost died
“It will be fun,” they said. “You will love it,” they said. But I almost died. Really, truly died. This is the story of how something almost killed me. It’s also a story illustrating the importance of using correct names for things. FOR EXAMPLE: Something should never be called a ‘pal’ if it truly is…

Friday Faves
Hey there! Happy weekend!! How about some awesome links for your perusal? This cornbread is the best I’ve ever tried. I literally had a moment of silence when I tasted my first bite. With my eyes closed. And a few repeated mumblings that went something like, “mmm…best…mmm…moist…mmm…” Jonathan was confused. Needless to say, there were no guests…

let’s review, shall we? :: february 2015
Happy almost-March! February has been a good, full month. I’m really working to enjoy the cold weather, even though a part of me can’t wait for WARM! But the whole snuggling under blankets, drinking hot tea (#6 is my fave!), and enjoying moments like this? Priceless. Let’s do a review from February, shall we? We…

4 TIPS :: get awesome clothes at cheap prices
Several months ago, I wrote about my desire to have an intentional closet. One of the obvious keys to an intentional closet is getting rid of clothes that don’t fit and replacing them with pieces that fit well. This takes time and money. And usually a lot of time in the fitting room. With 3 kids. Awesome.…
