This week I ramble about clutter, the consumption of housekeeping, and home decor. Wow! It was a full week! Church on Sunday like normal. It was so nice to have a day of rest. I think we all needed it. (Here’s what I do for Sabbath Prep in case you missed it.) On Monday I…
Is homemaking a necessary accomplishment? Does it have space in the life of the modern woman? One of my favorite sets of books is written by Louisa May Alcott. Eight Cousins and its sequel, Rose in Bloom, are sweeter and more romantic, I think, than the Little Women trilogy. In Eight Cousins, a young heiress…
Well, that week flew by. Wow. What did I even do? The calendar certainly had stuff on it, but some things got switched up so the week was chill and it just flew by. I guess that’s good. I was supposed to drive to Santa Clarita today to see my mom and sister, but I…
How my preparation for Sundays and a true sabbath is evolving and why I prioritize and look forward to Rest Day Prep. I didn’t grow up observing a sabbath. My dad was a workaholic, and my mom did the best she could to solo parent five kids. She took us to church and made an…
I read Spacemaker: How to Unplug, Unwind, and Think Clearly in the Digital Age by Daniel Sih earlier this year. Here are some thoughts.

Hello, Hi, How are you? We’re rolling into the end of the month. That went fast, didn’t it? Since we’re all ladies here (Men, this is your warning to click away), I am taking the opp to suggest that there may be a lot about menopause and God’s design for The Change that people haven’t…
I read God Rest Ye Merry earlier this year. Here are some thoughts. I admit it’s an odd thing to be reading an Advent book not in December, but I honestly recommend this practice whole heartedly. Let’s be real. You start an Advent book in late November or early December with high hopes that you…
My life as a homemaker has me excited and energized for the days ahead. While I love my work as a writer and I’ve loved homeschooling my kids, I’m looking forward to leaning into my homemaker life. I’ve always been a homemaker. I believe any woman with a home is. But there have been seasons…
Is it Saturday already? The week just flew by! Isn’t that lovely? FishChick15 and I went to a baby shower this morning. My friend Emily is the most welcoming of hostesses, and dang, she makes it all beautiful, too! Isn’t that gorgeous?! She had a cutie theme thread throughout along with custom cookies, fresh local…
