You can even listen right here on the blog. And 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

This isn’t a podcast or a fashion post

Another day

Well. I hope you all had a lovely Easter with your friends, family and various loved ones. Personally, I have no desire to ever see another egg in any given form for at least a few weeks. We have had boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg casserole and egg kabobs. Not really on the egg kabobs but I felt like Bubba from Forrest Gump and so I went with it. Last week went by pretty fast because I Read More

The day the deep freeze died

Another day, Diary

Let me tell you a little story. I think it was last Friday afternoon, after a week of Spring Break and moving into a weekend where we had no plans at all, that I wondered if maybe I'd been a little overly dramatic about how busy we are these days. Not that I would ever be overly dramatic in a million, billion years, but it was just a thought. I felt relaxed. I was caught up on laundry. The Read More

Just a few random things

Another day, Diary

Before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you for all the sweet comments and kind words. Just getting all my thoughts out made me feel so much better and to read everything you wrote was an unexpected bonus. I honestly read a lot of it with tears in my eyes at how awesome this little corner of the internet is and that's because of you. We are thoroughly enjoying our Spring Break Read More
