Cost-Effective Gender Reveal Gift for Baby
Someone close to me is expecting, and they had a small gender reveal with their closest community. There wasn’t a formal printed invite for the reveal or any expectation for guests to bring something – it was just a small, in-home gathering to share the gender of baby-to-be. However, I wanted to show some supportContinue reading “Cost-Effective Gender Reveal Gift for Baby “
Garden Produce Markers
I won’t pretend to be a professional gardener, or even a hobbyist, really. But each year we’ve been at this house, we’ve tried our hand at some garden produce to see what grows for us. This year, we are limiting mostly to the things we have had previous success with. And, because I was cravingContinue reading “Garden Produce Markers”
WWJD: Biblical Perspectives on How to Treat Others
This is a different kind of blog post… Admittedly, I don’t have a lot of perspective to offer – just scripture to share. I have been praying over and reading these passages lately.

Favorite Books Read in 2024
I realized, at 4 AM today whilst nursing my youngest baby, that I hadn’t yet shared my 2024 reading list or favorite books. I read 14 books in 2024 that I recorded in my virtual shelf on my bookshelf app. However, I also taught a few Bible studies that are paired with books, and IContinue reading “Favorite Books Read in 2024”

So proud of my eldest son, AJ (6), who made these cookies! We love being in the kitchen together, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to build memories one-on-one with him.

It’s World Suicide Prevention Day, and September is Suicide Prevention Month. I can’t let this day slide by without acknowledging the terrible void that suicide has left in my life and in my family.
