This year, I made a goal to live with more intention-—to find ways to spend my time, my money, and my gifts more wisely. It’s so easy for us to fill our lives with so much stuff that we leave little room to serve others, to dream our dreams, to make art, to love well. This [...]

Nobody tells you how hard it will be to love someone. Most of us have such a flimsy idea of what love means. You have no idea at the outset of this adventure that this relationship may cost you your life. The culture has taught us to grab what we need, to get our part, [...]

It’s shaping up to be a busy year so I’m extra thankful for the hunkering down we’ve been doing the past two months. One month from today, I’ll be in Dallas, Texas with all my Blissdom friends and I absolutely can’t wait. I’m reposting this because I love C.S. Lewis and his thoughts on this [...]

I love my dining table. Like LOVE it. It’s an Eye-talian made table that I bought at O.P. Jenkins after our house fire. (I can’t find any more specific information than that). This is one place I decided not to skimp. I’m all about a Goodwill rehab project but I wanted a good, sturdy table. [...]

We’re tired of homeschooling and gray skies and shin splints and complicated epic poems and dirty floors and cluttered counter tops and pilling yoga pants. But then that’s all a lie because we hope the [...]

Today, we begin our Lenten pilgrimage in a 40 day trek to the cross, where we remember the sufferings of Christ and His stubborn love toward us. The penitential season of Lent reminds us that we are not what we should be. It’s a time of stripping away, peeling back the layers that keep us [...]

In a nutshell, I’m crazy over decorating, cooking, cowboy boots and C.S.Lewis. And I homeschool, which might make me just plain crazy! This story of this pillow cracks me up. I bought [...]

This is a repost from last February {and the February before that!) and will explain Lent in further detail for the newcomer to the season.

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
