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. They have popped up in conversations and situations, and it hasn’t felt coincidental. In the midst of divided communities and difficult situations,Continue reading “WWJD: Biblical Perspectives on How to Treat Others”

Valentine’s Day Thumbprint Magnet DIY
I wanted to share this little DIY I did with my kiddos tonight. I created three of these heart magnets – one for our house, my parents’ house, and my in-laws’ house. They’ll serve as Valentines from my three boys to their grandparents. If you’re looking for a non-edible Valentines gift from your child, thisContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Thumbprint Magnet DIY “
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”
Extra Chocolate Cookies
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. While I gave him the recipe and managed the oven aspects, he did all of the other steps of baking delicious cookies to takeContinue reading “Extra Chocolate Cookies”
Ladybug, A Poem
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. In May of 2023, one of the most important people of my childhood committed suicide. My cousin Rachel was one ofContinue reading “Ladybug, A Poem”
Pizza Quesadillas
Dinner tonight sure was good! Pizza quesadillas are a new fave in the Miller house! I figured I should give this recipe a spot on the blog so it’s permanently posted for anyone who wants to give it a shot. Here’s what you’ll need: I heated my electric griddle, but you could just as easilyContinue reading “Pizza Quesadillas”
Treating Others As You Wish to Be Treated
Bear with me, as today’s post is one I felt called to share, but is not my usual home decor hacks, recipes, or parenting tips. This is not about your politics; this is about your humanity. You cannot claim to support “family values” (however you may define that) and then laugh in the face ofContinue reading “Treating Others As You Wish to Be Treated”
Theological Ramblings on Philippians 1 & 2
I’ve been reading Philippians daily with one of my youth group members, and Paul has a lot to say about how to treat one another and a lot to say about joy despite circumstance. When I scroll through social media, I see an awful lot of complaining. What’s interesting is that it seems that wellContinue reading “Theological Ramblings on Philippians 1 & 2”
