I simply love this time of year! With all the burlap accents, pumpkin scents & flavors, cute boots and scarves,…it’s like an annual reminder of why God gave us eyes and noses. And necks to wrap things around. And the ability to pin hundreds of thousands of Fall inspirations without actually moving more than a […]
XES Audiobook Now Available

The Language of Empowerment {A Shameless Plug for our Favorite Parenting Series}
We’ve read lots of excellent parenting books over the years, but nothing has shifted our paradigms quite like Danny Silk’s Loving Our Kids On Purpose. It rocked our parenting world. It’s like Shepherding A Child’s Heart meets Parenting with Love and Logic, edited by Erma Bombeck. It’s brilliant and simple and biblical and fun. And […]
When Your Wings Are Weighed Down {plus Free Printable}
I have never been particularly business savvy. Partly because I just haven’t a clue what I’m doing. Most mostly because, if I’m honest, I’ve established really blurry boundary lines. If boundaries at all. I have always struggled to find balance between my firm belief in the importance of generously sharing your unique talents and giftings […]

Not many words today. Just a quick reminder that… YOU. ARE. ENOUGH. That nothing you do or say…or don’t do or don’t say…effects your worth. It’s a call to stop claiming your successes as luck, and your failures as confirmation of identity. A reminder that your inability to check every single thing off your daily […]
Lessons from Under the Bridge {plus a Hand-Doodled Printable}
I’ve been processing a lot over the summer – a lot of good, deep, heart stuff – and it’s been an incredibly liberating journey to say the least. Not always easy, but always good. As God has slowly been chipping away at the unsightly parts of my heart, dealing with misplaced priorities and my maternally-inspired […]
The Little Yellow Dresser Redo
I picked up this little dresser a few months ago when I was dropping things off at Salvation Army. I unloaded my bags and boxes, got back in my car and started to drive away, but as I headed past the delivery truck unloading things just ahead of me…this little delight popped into sight. It […]
It’s That Time Again…And I Barely Pulled It Off.
Yelp! How is it September already…and how did my babies suddenly turn into these fully grown miniature human beings with larger than life personalities with massive feet? This summer…if it can even be called that (for I can barely count the number of hot days on one hand) flew by like greased lightening. The leaves […]
The Camper Life For Us {Free Printable}
This summer has been a delicious whirlwind of family and friends, sunshine, travelling and fun. With very little else thrown in. Hence the silence on this blog. Oh, I suppose there’s been food. There’s always food. Good food. which explains the squishiness I’m pretending does not exist around my midsection. But but’s another post for […]
On Being Rooted: Confessions of an Approval Addict {plus Free Printable}
A funny thing happens when you feel called to pour out your heart and soul, raw and unfiltered, on paper and offer it up as a broken prayer to an equally fragile world. You feel brave and courageous. On a mission and absolutely determined to hit the target, no matter the cost. The euphoria that […]
