My friend Katie and I talk about how sometimes circumstances in our lives “kick the bucket” of our hearts and cause what’s already in there to spill out. It’s not that the ugly wasn’t there all along–it just hadn’t been exposed. I feel like the events of the last few weeks have kicked our nation’s collective bucket and our mess or racial disunity (which has been there so long) is spilled out in front of us. We can tiptoe...
Hello friends! There are many things marinating in my heart and my blog drafts folder, but none of them are quite ready to share, so today I’m simply sharing this coloring page with you. I illustrated this verse as the start of a Scripture card set on our value in Christ. What other verses would you include in that set? This printable Bible coloring page is from Ephesians 2:10. You can download yours in English HERE and in Spanish HERE (or...

I’m sure it’s happened since Adam and Eve. I imagine something like this: Adam: “Why are you letting little Evie play out in the rain without her buckskin slippers?” Eve: “Well, she hates shoes and I can’t keep them on her, so I gave up.” Adam: “You can’t just give up. We are the parents here, after all.” Eve: “What are you trying to say, dear husband? Do you think I’m unfit?” Adam: “I didn’t say you were a...
Hello friends! We are done with school and are busy playing the days away here! If my blogging gets somewhat inconsistent, you’ll know why. Every once in a while I like to do a “heard around here” blog post. I jot down funny things my kids say (most coming from my now-five-year-old Anna), so here they are along with some glimpses into our family life. Me: Anna, put on some socks! Anna: All I have is...
