I ordered several pieces of clothing from ThredUp a couple weeks ago and was pretty excited when they showed up on my doorstep last week. Because I had such a grand time recording the opening of my StitchFix box with you, I decided to give it another go so you could see my first impressions of …

learning by paradox
I began this week learning that my Grammy went to be with Jesus Sunday night. This verse came to mind the next day: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Fullness of joy! Because my Grammy put her …
when you’re overwhelmed before you even begin
hey 2016, how’s it goin’ for ya? After spending time out of state & nursing sick family, I feel like I’ve launched into 2016 just a wee bit on the tired side. And by “a wee bit” I mean a lot. You know, it’s tough to have positive vision for the future when you’re tired. Partly …

two. four. six.
We’re in birthday season over here. These cuties now claim title to the ages of 2, 4, and 6. My sweet Miles is 2 and we might be in denial. I vividly remember the feeling of complete joy when he finally emerged. He loves talking (possibly even more than his sister), eating chicken (good thing because …
