“I just need some time away.” This was the thought that coursed through my mind after an exceptionally difficult afternoon of disrespect and unkindness. If I could just get away for a little bit, take a tiny break, have some time to think without 3 little voices chiming in, then – THEN – I would…

31 days of Life. Intentionally. // your feedback, pretty please?
Well, my friends, another 31 day series has come and gone. And although I’ve written 3 other 31 day series, this is the very first series I’ve done via video. Initially, I told you that my main feeling was fear. So how did it all end up? What did I learn from periscoping every single night in October?…

coffee chat
photo credit I thoroughly enjoyed Emily’s coffee chat last week. So much so that I decided to have my own coffee chat with you. Let’s pretend we’re at a nice coffee shop. Or better yet, at my house and cozy with a blanket. Make that 2 blankets. Let’s not get weird and share a blanket.…

for when you think God let go
The following post was originally written in September 2011. However, I recently came across this post & God used it to bless me all over again. And so I share it with you now with hope that God will use it in your heart just as He did in mine. This past weekend, my hubby…

Intentional Marriage
What’s the purpose behind marriage anyway? How does that purpose play out in day to day life? How do you resolve marriage conflicts? Are there topics that can just be off limits? Why is he so different from me? What about date nights? How do I even make time for that in my schedule? Or in…

Last week, I packed my bags, kissed my husband & babies goodbye, and headed to my first ever blogging conference. I’m definitely still in processing mode over here. Attending multiple sessions + meeting lots of new people + getting minimal sleep will do that to you. But there are a few lessons that keep rising to…

Life. Intentionally.
2 weeks ago I announced a 31 day series all about living life intentionally. Originally, it took me a while to even press publish on that post because I was so scared to 1) commit to a 31 day video series & 2) BE ON CAMERA. [CUE PANIC] Quite frankly, October 1st was a rather…

6 TIPS :: taking meals to others
As a new mama, one of the very biggest blessings was when someone would contact me and say, “I’m making you a meal. When can I stop by?” First of all, let me just kiss your feet because food has always been one of my big stress points after having babies. YOU MEAN I’M SUPPOSED TO…

DIY :: picture holder from a large frame
Several months ago, a friend of ours moved away to New Jersey. She was on her way to donate some home decor items and asked if I wanted to shop her car before she left. One of the things inside her lovely “car shop” was this large 2′ x 4′ picture. When she asked Jonathan…

31 day series: life. intentionally.
Sometimes you need to do something even when it’s scary. Especially when it’s scary. Introducing a 31 day series. Only not in writing. This series is on Periscope, which is basically a video streaming app where you can subscribe to someone’s video feed {my username is CThrelfall} and watch their live videos. An advantage to youtube…

on inviting yourself to someone’s home
Sometimes I invite myself over to other people’s homes. It has a lot of awkward potential, as I’m sure you can imagine. But there’s something about being in someone’s home that helps you get to know them better, you know? It’s like you see them in their place surrounded by their stuff and doing what they’re…
