WHAT I LEARNED THIS WINTER

Technically, I missed the actual link up.  But Emily Freeman started a lovely trend of listing the things she has learned at the close of each season, and I wanted to share mine.  Since we transition to spring now, I thought I could still hop on the train.  Some of these links are affiliate links.

MY FAVORITE UPDATE ON THE BORING OLD GALLERY PICTURE WALL

Way back in our very first house, we had a long landing at the top of our stairs.  It ran the length of the opening and the wall was a big expanse of nothing.  Proving that a tiger can’t change its stripes, I had decorated the downstairs and left the upstairs with, let’s call it, […]

I’m sure we have all figured out that I love the idea of “go-to’s.”  Actually, not the idea but the reality of them.  They make my life so much easier.  Things like a lunch-packing formula, or side dishes that don’t require my brain, help me to do the necessary things so I can move on […]

TODAY WAS A HARD DAY

TODAY WAS A HARD DAY

Today was a hard day. I woke up to one of my little men kicking the wall between his bed and our room. I pray a little breath prayer, “Lord, help me today. Surely, I will need you.” I hear my husband walk down the hall, showered, dressed and post workout. Jerk. Kidding. Maybe. I […]

I’m Getting Better at Life and My Slow Start to the New Year

My hope for this space is that you leave here with a lot of truth and honesty about life, longing, faith and doubt, dirty houses and fit-throwing kids, mothering and “wifedom”, my failures and shortcomings, and still some successes.
