Three things I love. Good books. Beauty. Inspiration. And I love it when all three combine. This #GraceLacedBook, it’s been that for me. This beautiful devotional is divided into seasons. The beginning finds us in the season of Winter, followed by Spring, Summer and ending with Fall. Each season also has a corresponding theme. Winter […]

Pages and Projects {GraceLaced}
GraceLaced. I can’t remember when I first saw that Ruth Chou Simons had a book coming out, but I promptly clicked over to Amazon and pre-ordered it. @gracelaced I knew without even needing to flip through it, I wanted to add it to my personal library. {Ahem. Personal library brings to mind those gorgeous English Manor […]
Beautiful Ordinary Extraordinary Commonplace
I’m beginning to see how the secret ways and deepest mysteries of God and His kingdom are often revealed off the beaten path of organized religion and frequently missed by the too-smart. Sometimes it’s not the professor or preacher leading you to divine truth but the commonplace people God sticks right in front of your […]

Ten Books I Want To Tell You About Today

Gifts That Keep On Giving and Summer Blessing 2017 Giveaway
One of the best things about gifts? They keep on giving. When I see the pillow from my sister, I think of her. When I drink out of the coffee mug Abbi gave me, I think of her. The gifts from friends and family bless me again and again. Often, I whisper a prayer for […]
Labels and Names
The world will label you all your life. Tall, short, smart, bossy, ugly, pretty, worth it, and not. But here is the only label that truly matters: “Now this is what the Lord says – the one who created you, Jacob, the one who formed you, Israel – Do not fear, for I have redeemed […]
An IDEA Gardener
Late winter, I proclaim a bit vehemently to my farmer husband man, that “I am not going to have a garden this year.” It takes time and work and thought and watering and wheat harvest is busy enough without added extras and I think it’s something I will CROSS OFF for this year. Winter […]

Pages and Projects {Church of the Small Things}
My daughter was stretched out on the living room floor gazing under the couch and she started laughing! “What’s The Kindness Challenge doing shoved under the couch?” she queried. My book had apparently fallen on the floor at some point and been bumped under the couch. It struck me funny and I joined her in […]
Ten Current Gift Idea Favorites
It’s fun to give gifts and equally as fun to have unique ideas or to gift someone with something you know they will love OR something you’ve loved and want to pass on the love! {Hmm. Quite a sentence, there.} Now, I’m aware that just because I love something doesn’t automatically mean everyone else will […]
