HI AND WELCOME!

I wish I could welcome you into my real home where we could talk face-to-face over coffee, but since you’re here, allow me to introduce myself and my blog.

I’m thrilled to be 59 years old. This has been my favorite decade so far.

I’ve been married to my best friend since 1987.

I’m “Mom” to three happily married adults and Mimi to Reid, Henry, and Mirren. (My children and their families are my favorite humans ever!)

I enjoy homemaking and creating a cozy haven for friends and family.

I love thrift stores, yard sales, and DIY projects.

I’m a homebody who loves a good road trip.

I want to care for my body(flaws and all!) with good food and moderate exercise.

I’m frugal to a fault.

I’m always reading something (non-fiction), and the Bible has always been my favorite book.

I have a Doctorate in Education, but joyful perseverance is my superpower.

I used to be a type-A, overachieving, people-pleaser, but now I live with joy, peace, and purpose.

I abhor “hustle culture”.

I love ordinary days.

MY GOAL with everything I share is to inspire and empower you to experience the abundant life in Christ as you:

  • GROW IN FAITH AND LEARN TO THINK BIBLICALLY
  • LOVE YOUR FAMILY WELL
  • CREATE A WELCOMING HOME
  • SHOW UP AND SHINE AS YOUR UNIQUE, GOD-CREATED SELF

I hope the words and pictures I share inspire you to create a life you love.
