Friends, my heart is heavy as we make our way towards a new school year starting and so many uncertainties still left up in the air. We have twenty-nine days left until the first day of school here in New England, and I know there are other parts of the country who have already begun or will begin in the next couple of weeks. With so much still to decide on it seems that the only thing as of lately that brings me solitude is spending time in our yard with my hands in the dirt, which is exactly what I was doing before I came in to write this down to share with you. I know I don’t always talk about mom stuff or family life, but right now this is what is weighing heavy on my heart, so today I’m sharing some of my thoughts with you as we navigate through these uncharted territories, putting words to feelings I’ve been mulling over, because maybe you too have similar feelings. I know for myself, the moment I am able to put words to exactly what it is that I’m wrestling with, I can think clearer and find peace. So if you are a momma who has been worrying about what this upcoming school year holds, todays post is for you!
5 Ways to Refresh for Mom
Happy weekend friends! Mother’s Day is tomorrow, can you believe it, and as I type this there is currently snow falling as I look outside our dining room window. Not quite the Mother’s Day weather I was hoping for, especially since I ask for plants every year for Mother’s Day, and love to do some gardening, but thankfully it will melt fast. With it being Mother’s Day this weekend, I wanted to share 5 ways to refresh as a mom, because I think now more than ever, we all are in need of a little pampering.
Farmhouse Breakfast Excerpt from The Gift of Gathering & a GIVEAWAY!
Hello friends!! Happy Spring to you all!! In the midst of all that is going on in the world today, my publishers, Harvest House, are offering an amazing deal on my book “The Gift of Gathering”. Right now they are offering it for 40% OFF + free shipping, for the month of April!! Yes, you read that right. So to celebrate, I wanted to share an excerpt from one of the Spring gatherings in the book, and a special GIVEAWAY as well! It’s going to be so much fun!
Finding the Meaning in the Mundane
Hello friends!! And Happy Friday!! I can hardly believe that the weekend is here already. I feel like I blinked and this past week went by, but I have to tell you I am so excited, because tomorrow we are getting outside to start our spring cleanup, and I am itching to get it started! My wheels have already been turning on what new plants I want to add this year, and some landscaping goals I want to tackle. If you’ve never seen the outside of our house I shared some views of it in last years landscaping plan post, HERE. But today I wanted to pop in really quick and share with you a recent post I wrote for the Christian Mommy blog.
Our Story
I realize it would have been more appropriate to share this post on Valentine’s Day, however the flu hit our house last week, and I’ve been taking care of everyone, so I’m just now getting around to sharing. Thankfully everyone is just about fully recovered, and we are looking forward to a nice low-key weekend to help get ourselves back to 100%. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about where I want to expand in my blog, and as much as I love sharing my passion for home decor, there are definitely other areas that I’m passionate about too. While home decor will still be my main focus, I also want to share things that are more on a personal level with you. Because after all, it’s one thing to have the same taste in decor, but I think we have more in common than just that! I remember in my early blogging days feeling “unprofessional” to share personal things, but in doing so I’ve left out a very important part of blogging that I enjoy – being relational. Sure we have connected on other things, but part of growing in a friendship is learning about each other, and I want to know more about you too! I mean we are friends after all right? So after sharing a little glimpse of how I met my husband in a post this past week on Instagram, I thought I would start off by sharing Our Story!
We Got Chickens!
Ummm yes, you are reading that correctly! We got chickens. Well technically we’ve had them, but they’ve never made an official appearance on the blog or Instagram for that matter. You may remember in my previous post I mentioned we made an addition to our family, and by addition I mean 5 tiny, fluffy, cuddly chickens. We always talked about having chickens, but I never thought we would actually take the plunge, but after having them for a few months I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner.
