Did November fly by in a blur for anyone else? I looked at the calendar this morning and realized we are almost a week into December. Despite my best intentions to slow down and savor the season, and to be totally honest, I feel like I’m already playing catch-up! Between the shopping, the planning, and the regular day…

We are deep in the holiday spirit over here, which means it is time for one of my favorite annual traditions: The Wish List Post. If you know me, you know that Receiving Gifts is absolutely my love language. I love the thought, the wrapping paper, the surprise; all of it! But strangely enough, whenever my husband asks…

Let me set the scene for you... the sun has set, the start of your silent night. Your Christmas tree is twinkling with golden light that dances across glittering ornaments. The house is quiet, save for the faint crackle of a wood wick candle and the nostalgic croon of vintage holiday classics. You take a deep breath, …

One Christmas, thirteen years ago, we decorated in all gold and shades of brown. It makes me cringe just thinking about it now. While I've never gone full millennial gray, I did try the boring beige trend for a while and quickly decided I'd rather live in a cozy yet chaotic landscape than a dull, boring sea of…

"Move over, Mariah Carey, the Queen of Blogmas has arrived!" Just joking; I don’t fancy myself a Queen, but I do absolutely love participating in Blogmas each December. It’s a festive, fun way to end the year and usher in the next. This is it! 2025 will be my fourth year blogging through the most wonderful t…

The past few days have been a whirlwind. My planned low-key, restful weekend quickly turned into a bit of a scare and a two-night hospital stay. Usually, I dedicate my days off to writing, blogging my heart out over the weekend to schedule posts for the entire Blogtober challenge. But this week, everything stopped whe…

Today, we're throwing it back to one of our favorite fall adventures: our family pumpkin patch visits! The whole family had a blast playing games, exploring the farms, and, of course, scouting for the perfect pumpkins. We totally refueled with all the best seasonal treats—hello, apple cider and pumpkin everything!…

Autumn. It arrives with a whisper of crisp air, the scent of woodsmoke, and a dazzling display of color that makes you want to pull on a cozy sweater and sip something warm. For years, my autumn bucket list was a relentless pursuit of perfection: pumpkin patches, apple orchards, elaborate fall baking, perfectly curate…

Ready to trade in the chaos of back-to-school for the organized calm of Autumn? While fall brings fun holidays and beautiful scenery, it also brings busy schedules! We're juggling everything from holiday preparations to end-of-year work pushes. That's why having a planner layout that is both beautiful and func…

Before I plunge back into the daily grind of the Blogtober challenge, I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to reflect on the content that truly stood out. While looking at the most viewed posts is one thing, sometimes the posts that mean the most are the ones that represent moments where I pushed myself cr…

The best part about the Blogtober challenge isn't just the fact that I manage to publish every single day, but sometimes I surprise myself with new and unique post ideas! Other times, I come down with a case of writer's block or, like this year, have more responsibilities that take up my free time and leave me…

As the trees around us burst into a final, glorious display of reds, oranges, and golds, it's impossible to ignore the sheer artistry of our Creator. To end this week of Blogtober, we're pausing to reflect on God's Beauty and Creation, letting the natural world speak volumes about His character. Our focus …

As we enter the final quarter of the year, we often shift our focus from big projects to maintenance and preparation. This is the heart of stewardship: diligently managing what we have while we wait for what's next. Our focus verse today is a powerful reminder that our efforts, though quiet and often unseen, are n…

Today's devotional is tackling one of the hardest acts of the Christian life: Letting Go and Trusting God. Whether it’s letting go of a past mistake, a dream that died, or control over a situation, the urge to grasp tightly is human nature. But our focus verses today offer a radical vision of what happens when w…

While the autumn leaves signal a beautiful, visible change in nature, this week we're focusing on the quiet, profound transformation God seeks to do in us. Change can be scary, but when we partner with God, it leads to glorious abundance. Our focus verses give us a clear blueprint for initiating this transformatio…

Welcome back to Blogtober! As the autumn takes us from the season of sowing to the season of seeing, we are met with the fruits of the year's labor. It's a time to reflect not just on what we've gathered, but on the faithfulness of the One who makes all growth possible. Our journey begins right after the G…

There's just something about autumn that makes me feel nostalgic! I love looking back at old photos and remembering what life was like in previous seasons. For today's Flashback Friday post, I'm digging deep into those warm memories that bring a smile to my face. Let's travel back to 2015, when Daniel …

As the days shorten, the air crisps, and nature paints the world in hues of amber and gold, there's an undeniable pull towards all things warm, comforting, and utterly cozy. This isn't just about decorating for the season; it's about crafting an experience that nourishes your soul and transforms your home …
