Hello again friends! As I explained in my last post, I took the month of December off in an attempt to celebrate the great event that is the birth of our Immanuel.And as best as we could, we did just that. We did most of the things I had hoped we’d do. We were able to read some of our advent devotional (ahem . . . some, but it was great). We crafted with friends. I made hot chocolate...
Eek! It’s been another year of blogging and I’m excited to share this last post! So I mentioned that I am taking December off. I did this last year on the advice of another business owner and it was such a blessing. We need the time to rest and fully celebrate this great thing that God has done for us (and all of humanity). I am not a baker and I don’t go all-out with Christmas decorating. My son...
I just love books and how God uses them to change me. I have to admit I’m not always great at finishing them, but I have great expectations! Here is a collection of books I’d like to read this coming year: A. The Green Ember by SD Smith (comes highly recommended by the Read-Aloud Revival’s Sarah Makenzie).

As soon as we bought our current home, I planned out what I would put on the walls. If I go to your house and you have blank walls, I will probably secretly plan out art to fill your space. I spend a lot...
If you’re an American like me and at all paying attention, you were probably up late last night watching the election results roll in–to your delight, dismay, or bewilderment depending on your point of view (and if you’re grieving today, I’m truly sorry, and please take your time processing). (This reminds me of how there is a massive construction project carving up a whole hill down the street from our house–a new “luxury living” university student housing development...
I hung up the phone with the boy I had been pursuing a relationship with for the past year. He admitted cheating on me, and I knew immediately that the dream of “us” was over. I was in grad school at the time and walked into the kitchen where my roommate was cooking. She looked at my blood-drained face and knew something was wrong. I told her the ugly story and curled up on the carpet in the living...
