how a smidget grows.
This little person right here went and turned four while I was on my small hiatus. It simultaneously rips my heart seams and overwhelms me with joy. If you think for a minute that that face-right up there?-is not true to his forever energy and ham-ishness then I would love to have you over around, [...]
celebrate His rest.
Today? There is a place prepared for you. A place of rest. That little Baby? Born on Christmas? He’s promised rest for your weary walk. Celebrate Him by offering your heart to be His Bethlehem.
this jubilee.
Mary was a ponderer. She gathered up the truths of who her little fresh born son was. She sheltered the good news of his birth. She nuzzled all the things of who He was right down in her heart and she thought on them. Pondering is an important reaction. To think on God. His ways. [...]
marking advent.
Hi. Oh, I hope your weekend was lovely. We’ve finally got the tree up. Only lights right now but I’m slowly making my way to having some festiveness around our house. I’m going to be sharing some crafty type things with you this week. But. Before I do that, I’d like to speak to comparison [...]

Look what I noticed outside my window this weekend. Fall is on its way. Makes me so happy. What about you? What small joy did you find this weekend?
small joy: family field trip
We took a little trip to the apple farm this weekend. I’ve got four of those very full bags of apples. Yes. That big thing belongs to me. He’s nine. His hair is mussed. He’s got on a baseball shirt. He won’t pose for photos. All is right in his world. When you’ve pulled two [...]

small joy: everyday moments
If there’s one thing I know it’s my family’s food love language. And my people love to have breakfast for dinner. I can’t do it in the summer. Because making pancakes equals grumpy me. It’s so much standing and flipping and you can’t multi task or those pancakes are burnt. So when it’s hot as [...]
small joy: friday night drives
Well. School started back yesterday. And I am going to try to get back to my normal routine. I’m not going to lie and say that we were loathe for school to start. We were ready for some outside activity. But. I did have a moment of missing this morning. Thankfully I have a three [...]
an everyday update
The tooth didn’t make it. It turns out the root was cracked and it began to look very, well, unnatural. We now have a three-year-old snaggletooth. I’m sorry it happened but it’s so cute. We took off for the beach last Thursday. One day I spent 12 hours in my bathing suit. It was glorious. [...]
