I’ve been working on other projects all day–finalizing my Etsy fall line, communicating with mentees, prepping our home for our friends who are visiting this weekend. When [Continue Reading…]

5 Things to Consider When You’re Deciding Where to Spend Holidays With Your Spouse
With the first day of September coming up this Thursday (what?), it’s time to start thinking about holiday travel and solidifying plans, flights, and reservations.

Listener Simplification: Living Without Modern Conveniences | EP23 Simplify Everything
Today I hosted my first guest on Simplify Everything! (Woo hoo!) I chatted with Hannah Olson from Just Bee Blog about living without modern conveniences.

My Updated Cleaning Routine + The One Change That Made It Click
If you’re wondering why I haven’t shared recipes or cleaning routines or any other kind of homemaking tip in a while, it’s because I completely fell off the homemaking bandwagon this summer.

Deeply Wounded and Deeply Effective
This is a repost from the archives. This post was originally published in March of 2016; it is one of my favorite posts of the past four years of blogging. We’re all wounded. We can hide behind staged photos and plastered smiles, but we all live with real hurt. We all have aches and bruises [Continue Reading…]
Go to Ikea for a Better Marriage
A theme central to marriage is refinement–learning to love selflessly through triumphant joy and hard challenges, resulting in becoming a “better person,” which in my world translates to becoming more like Jesus. This process is traditionally thought of as long-winded; over years of time, slow change, transformation, and refinement occurs as married couples learn to communicate, [Continue Reading…]

I published guest information last week in this blog post, but not every podcast listener is a blog reader (and vice versa)! Today, on my podcast, I’m explaining more about being a guest on my show–who I’d love to talk to, what I’d love to talk about, and why it’s important to me to host guests. If [Continue Reading…]
