Did you know that gratitude is known to reduce stress and has a tremendous impact on our mental and physical health (fewer aches and pain, better sleep, etc.). Gratitude is good for us! God’s Word tells us so, and research confirms it. I should like to tell you that I’m a pro at giving thanks, […]

Need encouragement? Me too! We all do. Sometimes it’s easy enough to encourage or share a kind word and other times it’s trickier and it takes a deliberate effort. I want to share a few simple ways you can uplift, and check-in, on your sisters and friends. If you follow me on Instagram (that’s where […]

It’s no secret that I love books. I love to read them. I love to write them (although, currently I’m struggling at the writing bit–prayers welcome). I love to discuss them. I love to look at them. Books, to me, are like friends–guides and companions on life’s journey. Every so often I love to share with […]

Here’s what I’m la la loving this week . . . I should note that I’ve started doing La La Loving on my Instagram stories. It’s where I’ll give the most details, show you in person and possibly add in some extras. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for all the goodies (I also have a […]

Hello, Lovely Ones! I don’t want to point out that we are nearing the end of July or that school supplies are in stores everywhere (assaulting my eyes and my right to enjoy summer–mostly I get agitated because I know what is next. As soon as the school supplies are down, Halloween goes up and […]

Hi Lovely Friends! Happy Summer . . . I have a few things for YOU! Firstly, I want to offer you my FREE Summer Wonder Workbook. It’s for anyone who is tired. Anyone who has lost their wonder. Anyone who wants to get comfortable with being still. And anyone who wants to have a fun, […]

Dear Sister, Apologies for the silence. I went on a last minute (yet, long awaited) trip to The Netherlands last month (as you may have seen on Instagram), celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary (which was actually, nearly, two years ago) and in search of my heritage and inspiration. The fields of tulips did the trick. […]

You all know, I love beauty products. Give me all the creams, over clothes, any day. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve shared some of my favorite products, and if you are anything like me then you are always curious about what others are using and loving. So I thought I’d share what I’m currently […]
