If you have read any of my sporadic posts in the months that have made up this year thus far, thank you for being a true friend. 🙂 I’ve done my best to take my one little word seriously this year and really identify what needs changed and what doesn’t in my life. It was […]
Grace on a Train Ride
Lately you’ve been telling me, “I’m feeling shy a little bit.” Even when you don’t admit it, there are occasions when I can see it written on your face in scenarios that you used to do nothing but smile through. It makes me sad, sometimes, to see it, especially on the day we prepared to […]
Grace and Speeding Tickets
Photo Source I recently read Grace for the Good Girl by Emily Freeman and immediately identified with the good girl Miss Freeman described. Over the past decade of my life, God’s given me one situation after another to force me to overcome the false security I’d spent a lifetime building up in my head by […]
Some Thoughts That Lead to a Crazy Idea
My one little word for this year is Identify. One thing I love about adopting a word for the year is that, no matter how much I know I need to focus on it over the course of several months with intention, I can’t even comprehend how greatly it will impact me. This word has […]
What I’ve Been Reading
While I’m busy not writing so much right now, I’ve been catching up with a long-lost love of mine – reading. I don’t know exactly what caused it, but I went through a several years’ long funk in the book reading department. This year, I was determined to change that since I knew I’d have […]
Letters to my Daughter: Let’s Talk About Beauty

That Ugly Post to Push me Over the Hump
I’ve been mulling over a great many things lately of the blogging kind. Nothing new, really, just trying to determine where to go from here. Before I come across as emo, please note that this post’s greatest purpose is to help me sort things out. I come up with my clearest answers by writing things […]
My Daily Dose of Exceptionally Average
It’s the peanut butter and jelly that I eat for lunch. It’s the holes that I punch in Tupperware so we can make a home for slugs we dig up under the guttering. It’s the Angry Bird battles I hear raging from his room. Did I mention that he’s decided every farm animal toy that […]
Those Little Things That Make Me Smile
My life is a blessed one. Deeply, richly, thoroughly blessed. I often enjoy sharing my heart about how God is working in my life to show me the beauty in the everyday with my sweet kids, husband, friends, and family. Today I plan to be anything but deep. Over the past week or two, I’ve […]
