Another day

It’s not the size of the dog, it’s the size of the heart

Another day, Dogs

I can't even tell you how many times I've started to write a blog post over the last few weeks and then I either decide I have nothing to say or I get distracted by Netflix or Caroline texts me from wherever she is at the time to tell me it's time for me to come pick her up. And all my good intentions go out the window. But here I am. Caroline is home which means she won't have to be picked Read More

This and that on a Tuesday

Another day

Happy Tuesday! Here are a few things I thought might be of interest. Please pay special attention to #5 because I would love nothing more than for you to leave your answer in the comments so we can all perhaps benefit. 1. Kindle edition of Everyday Holy The Kindle edition of Everyday Holy, my 100 day devotional for women is just $2.99 on Amazon right now. **Edited to add: I'm Read More

Catching up on life lately now that I looked up and it’s October

Another day

Well. I read something the other day (Don't ask me to quote a source because I cannot.) that said it really takes being six weeks into a new school year before it feels like a routine. And so I looked at my calendar and counted the weeks since school began and it was six weeks as of this past Friday. So that means I should be in a normal routine any day now. I can't wait for that to happen. Read More

Five things on a Thursday

Another day, Diary

I keep meaning to write an actual post but life has just been a combination of busy and uneventful. But here are a few things I thought I'd share in case you're interested. 1. Mary Poppins Trailer I saw this when it was released earlier this week and it made me get teary. I can't even imagine when I actually see the whole movie. I'm sure it will be fine. Also, I adore Emily Blunt and Read More

Back to the real world

Another day

We are officially in the middle of our first week back to school. And, honestly? It hasn't been too painful. Even the earlier mornings and packing the lunches doesn't bother me, although I'm going to need to come back here in mid-October and read that sentence back to myself so I can remember my kinder, gentler, most glass half full self when I'm rolling out of bed with the attitude of a troll Read More

A Fearless Faith playlist and some other things

Another day

1. Fearless Faith/Everyday Holy Playlist So I made us a playlist on Spotify to celebrate the one week birthday of Fearless Faith. These are songs I listen to when I feel scared or worried or just need to remember that God is in control and I am not. Some of them are new and some of them are old favorites, including an Amy Grant classic because Amy Grant is part of the fabric of my Read More

Some Summer Favorites

Another day

So as it turns out summertime hasn't necessarily been a season where I've found a lot of time to write on the blog. I've been very busy doing important things like relaxing and reading books and bingeing shows on Netflix and raising a teenager and trying to figure out things to cook for dinner that don't require much effort. Caroline spent the last four days at soccer camp at University of Read More

What’s cooking? Besides me. In this heat.

Another day, I'm cooking

So our summer is off to a good start. We've had a lot of doing nothing which is not a complaint. At some point I'm hoping I'll get bored enough to start cleaning out closets and such, but I'm not there yet. Right now I'm choosing to spend my down time watching Netflix and reading books. My people spent a few days fishing in Louisiana and they got back last night. I was so glad to see them Read More

No more pencils, no more books and no more lunches to pack

Another day

Hello and welcome to Summer 2018! I'm so happy that we are out of school that I will do my best to not even complain about how hot it already is for early June. Except it really is so very hot. But I don't have to pack a lunch for approximately the next 100 days and that feels like a victory. Caroline got out of school last Thursday and she celebrated by going shopping all day with Read More
