create a peaceful place to rest
Hello there! We’re in the advent season and we are counting the days until Christmas. We are collecting treasure in an advent activity, ending with hot chocolate. Raegan gets reading practice explaining the advent treasure hunt clues. The tree is up, I have wrapped lights around the prickly fir branches, and plan to decorate it…

‘Tis the season…for hospitality
‘Tis the season to be jolly! It was the Annual Baking Day the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Several years ago, Brett went from student ministry to Chick-fil-A. He had to work the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week which was not usual. I decided to do something fun, so Linley and Ella Kate were small and we put…

cultivating connection
It’s the time of year for getting together with families and connecting with people we may not see all the time. We do not live near family, so we do a lot of FaceTime calls. Everyone longs to belong and everyone wants to feel wanted. Every preschooler wants to get in close to see the…

ways to reset the day
It’s my favorite month of the year! I hear it’s National Pumpkin Spice Day today – I suppose it is, so I’m here for it! I checked my coffee gift card and I had just enough with a few cents to spare, so I went for the iced pumpkin spice and got a few (four)…

organize it and simplify it
Hello! It’s open window season! Some days anyway…the cooler days are starting to appear more frequently and it makes me so excited! I love to open windows in a room I am working in, whether it be the kitchen or our front room. Our front room has served many different purposes over the years, and…

41 lessons
Hey! It’s birthday time! I always enjoy my birthday time because it means fall is right here! I celebrated by going to Hobby Lobby, getting my ear pierced with my youngest sister, and eating lunch at McDonald’s so children could play on the amazing playground! I always inevitably think back over my life up to…
