  • Layla is beyond the moon right now. She has been asking for years for rabbits. We told her after we settle into this house, then we could. The day has finally arrived! Today, she chose her first buck and doe. We still have a few weeks until her doe comes home with us.  But the buck has settled in. (She’s thinking to name him Goose to keep Chris from coming near him! 😂) They are from separate breeding pairs so she can breed and sell their babies. Thank you, Richard + Stacey for gifting her with them. We are truly blessed to have you as friends!
  • Day 2 of #intermittentfasting Those of you in the #if community, what are your best tips for this newbie?
  • Lord, today let me be as bold as Peter and John before the Sanhedrin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me speak out for You so that others are encouraged and see Your love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Give me the words to speak and proclaim Your greatness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Type AMEN if you are ready to boldly proclaim His goodness this week!
  • Last week we had some crazy events that caused some frantic 'put together' of meals that were not the greatest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For years, Chris served in the Army and worked 60+ hours/week. Couple that schedule with multiple deployments and weeks of training, and I was really left to run our home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many weeks and months all alone with small children was a challenge for me. I worked on my Masters in Education and ran a sewing business out of our home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I tried to keep our home in order. I failed a lot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I finally realized (somewhere in there) that creating a simple plan on Sundays kept dinner stress to a minimum for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, let's fast forward, Chris has retired and our roles have reversed. He is not a planner. He likes to cook what fits his mood. And that works for him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, but last week taught us a lesson. So, this week, we opted for a simple compromise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wrote out some meals for what the kids chose + what we have in the pantry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By numbering them instead of assigning them a day, he has some flexibility. So, if there's an emergency and I need to take over, we've got a plan in place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me, how does your family balance the menu with crazy work schedules? Do you write it out like this?
  • Happy Sunday, friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This weekend was spent cleaning up around our yard and preparing for winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The girls had a sleepover with their grandparents, and BoyWonder went to his best friend's birthday party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A N D ... after weeks of hunting, Chris FINALLY shot his first deer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are truly thankful for our home, family, and friends who've blessed us tremendously this weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel like social media has been such a negative space here lately. Anyone else? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you pausing to say thank you and to lift up gratitude? Are you saying, "Thank you" for all the blessings right in front of you? What's one thing that you are truly thankful for right now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
  • Making a special effort tonight to reset this space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then, snuggling in with my family and a book. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One way I deal with overwhelm is to refocus on what I can control: my mindset. For some reason, cleaning a space has always helped me clear my mind. So by taking 5 minutes here, I feel peaceful when I walk away from this space and wake up to a completely clean kitchen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am more relaxed and feel fully present with those around me when my home is in order. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My mind doesn’t keep wandering to what needs to be done. I feel like I have such a Martha heart that cries out to be more like Mary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is this crazy? Do you do this too?
