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

Counting down to summer

Another day

So these two crazy kids got married over the weekend. Maybe you heard about it. I think it was on T.V. (Side note: I have so many thoughts and feelings about the wedding and Sophie and I are recording a podcast all about it later today, so stay tuned for that.) We spent our weekend in College Station at a soccer tournament. It wasn't quite a royal wedding and there was nary a Read More

A post with a lot of information

Another day, Diary

Hello. It's me. I've been wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet. Someone should make that a song. I figured I better dust off the ol' blog and write some sort of something before I forgot my password to get into it. Especially since forgetting passwords is my specialty. The other night I kept getting all these notices that someone was trying to log into my Twitter Read More

Life in general: A not so brief retrospective of the last seven days

Another day

Listen. I don't know where the time goes. I just know that I look up and another week has gone by and a new one is starting, I feel like Caroline when she was a toddler and threw huge fits and then would look up at us after she calmed down and say, "Happen? Happen?" What happened was you lost your dang mind because the straw to your juice box broke. Kid, I'm sorry about your level 10 Read More

Book releases and ovens that won’t come clean

Another day, Books

Listen. I don't even know what to say about how y'all have supported Everyday Holy. It means the world to Richard and me. I mean, look what you made happen. I posted that picture on Instagram along with this caption about Richard wanting to rename the devotional book Richard Calling since Jesus Calling is pretty much the bestselling devotional book of all time. And then look Read More

For lack of a better title, here are five things I want to share

Another day, Diary

The good news is it rained last night and the oak pollen appears to be temporarily defeated because I can actually breathe and my eyes aren't watering. The bad news is the thunderstorm came through while we were sitting in metal bleachers at the high school watching a soccer playoff game. Not necessarily the place you want to be when a lightning storm hits. And we'd left Piper and Mabel in Read More
