Most of you have probably heard about Stitch Fix by now, but if you haven’t here’s a nice 30-second video that summarizes how this affordable personal styling service works. Since my last fix was in July, I was extra excited to receive my fifth fix earlier this month. Kudos to my rock star stylist, Arielle, who selected another five items that… Read more →
Giving Up Negativity for Lent
For Lent this year, I’m giving up negativity. “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT I’m not one to typically give up… Read more →
God Provides
Earlier this week my husband dropped off my car for routine maintenance, and he ended up leaving a couple grand lighter. This, of course, is the same week we had to call the vet to schedule a couple pricey procedures for our dear, aging pup. Oh, and did I mention I just went to the eye doctor to stock up on… Read more →
Patient Endurance
2015 was a challenging year for our little family, and deep down I think we knew it would be—we just didn’t know all the reasons why. So when I was challenged to come up with a guiding word or phrase for 2016, I really wanted to pick something like “joy,” but after prayerful consideration God led me to “patient endurance.”… Read more →

Our First (and Last) Time Traveling with Two Under Two
While we enjoyed our time at our destinations, we learned an important lesson over the past week: My husband and I aren’t cut out for road trips with two under two. For the sake of our marriage, sanity and preserving the joy in family vacations to come, we decided to change our plans for an upcoming vacation later this summer based on what we… Read more →
Little Artist’s Gallery Wall
In my post about Levi’s Toddler Room I mentioned that we were planning a little artist’s gallery wall to showcase our son’s artwork. Well, we finally have it up. We decided to place it on the only wall in his room that was completely blank at a height just high enough that he can’t pull everything down right now. Thanks, Honeybee Vintage, for… Read more →
Lovingly Handcrafted Baby Blankets
Just like her mother and grandmother did before her, my mom quilts. Over the years she has lovingly crafted quilts to welcome new babies. She made baby blankets for me and my sisters and now has made gorgeous quilts for both my children. She’s currently planning one for my sister, Kayla, and her husband’s, Dylan, firstborn, due in September. My mom—known to my kids… Read more →
