I do my quiet times in the morning. I have bounced around a little and found different rhythms as time has marched on. In my first year of motherhood, I was so completely sleep deprived that I could only handle short snippets of scripture that I would mediate on all day long. My official “quietContinue reading “Making Room For Christ: One pure and Holy Passion”

Alignment and Holy Procrastination
Over the last couple years, I have gone through what I like to think of as a break-up with workout culture. I’m still actively pursuing my health and fitness but have been reframing my thought processes around it. I’ve seen so many young mothers struggling to breastfeed as they seek to “gain their bodies back”Continue reading “Alignment and Holy Procrastination”

Instant Pot Refried Beans
We have been making a conscious effort to eat less meat lately; in part for health, in part for the environment, and primarily for budget. I have been serving vegetarian proteins for 2-3 meals a week and loving it. I feel really good eating this way and the kids love when I make beans, theyContinue reading “Instant Pot Refried Beans”
Countertop Legacies
From the archives. Originally published February 26th 2019 We are currently building a new home and, because we live in a state that frequently sees sub zero temperatures, we are putting a large emphasis on square footage. It isn’t a huge home but we wanted a decent sized play area for kids toContinue reading “Countertop Legacies”
Humility: Preparation for the Journey
I’ve decided my official position on 2020 is “confused”. I’m confused about media coverage, confused about how to love people well from a distance, confused about mandates and regulations, laws and systems. I’m confused about the global stuff we are all facing. Then I’m dealing with sickness right now, two serious illnesses in two menContinue reading “Humility: Preparation for the Journey”
Lumberjack Stoves
Our art time usually takes a nose dive in the summer months, there is too much green to be played with and too many hills to climb. We don’t often make time to just sit still, and we always want to enjoy the sun when it comes out. Every once in awhile, though, there isContinue reading “Lumberjack Stoves”
Jalapeno Poppers with Pineapple
This recipe came together after I received a donation of food, there was an abundance of jalapenos and a large pineapple. I have done plain poppers before with great success and wanted to try a little variation. The sweetness of the pineapple did cut some of the spice in the jalapenos and it paired wellContinue reading “Jalapeno Poppers with Pineapple”
On Faith, Food, and Stewardship
This right here, friends, is a blessing stopping me in my tracks. I have just recently jumped into another area of service in my church. One that, honestly, I’ve been thinking I should be part of for ages and always found a reason not to. Our meal ministry fell aside awhile backContinue reading “On Faith, Food, and Stewardship”
Walking Worthy
I had the privilege of going to watch one of my best childhood friends in a movie this weekend. She stared in a local film a couple years ago and I was able to view it as part of a flashback cinema event. My husband gave up the evening of his father’s day so IContinue reading “Walking Worthy”
