• Welcome to this fresh new week, friend. So encouraged by these words: “If God calls this day into existence with us drawing breath by morning, He’s faithful to sustain us in it. Gladness is the overflow of a heart that recognizes that our cries and victories are not overlooked by a Holy God- neither is our groaning in the toils of the every day. Our Holy God is already there, going before us in the steps He’s planned for us. This day is Holy because He makes nothing without purpose and plan- in this we can truly rejoice.” @ruthchousimons #holy #thisday #mondaytruth #cozykitchen #hygge #hyggehome #island #subwaytile #cottagestyle #vintage #cottagekitchen #countryliving #countrylife #smallspaces

  • My favorite story to share, is the one that led us to her... it was long, it was brutal, but like all things surrendered He brings light to the dark... she is a daily reminder to us, of how powerful the love of our Father, is. She’s a walking miracle, that shines so brightly ...her joy tells us of a God that delights in His children... her tears remind us that this world is not our home... and we bask in all of it... we are so deeply aware of the honor it is to belong to her and to each other. We will for sure make a mess of this daily living and fail one another... but, we will also keep fighting , we will walk the trenches together and we will journey towards growth and joy. I’m careful how much I share of her story, on this platform... I never want to give something I can’t take back, it’s an ever present concern... but, I can’t stay silent when it comes to the miracle of her life and our families becoming. We love you, Norah. Some of you have been here and journeyed with me as we waited for our sweet girl... and some of you are still in that season of waiting ... sending love to you all and grateful you’re a part of my story. #lovemadeus #ourstory #storyteller #beautifulmomentsoftheeveryday #grateful #motheranddaughter

I’m looking for some new ideas that are both cozy and healthy... what’s your favorite go to meals? #fallvibes #fallnesting #fall #pumpkin #pumpkinseason #pumpkins #rustic #vintage

  • When you think of home, what do you think of? What feels restful and restorative? What feels cozy? Aside from my family and pets, here are a few things on my list... 1. Old things mixed with new things 2. Books 3. Pillows, Blankets and Mugs 4. Lots of texturing and layers 5. A space that I can spill things in- I hate feeling afraid of making a mess 6. Memories scattered on the walls 7. Candles 8. Baskets for days 9. Music 10. Little shoes by the front door Just to name a few... What about you friend, what’s on your list? Notice, I didn’t say top of the line spaces with trend setting vignettes... we put so much pressure on curating our homes, when really, it should be what makes you feel like... well... home... #fallfrontporch #fallfrontdoor #pumpkins #puremichigan #rusticfrontporch #cozyfrontporch #homesweethome #cozyhome #cozyhomes #pumpkinseason #allthepumpkins

  • In case, you need to hear this as much as I did, take a deep breath. Relax your shoulders, take a breath and still... remind yourself of what’s truth and turn away from the noise that seeks to distract... Time here is short, and moments are so fleeting... so, take a deep breath, pause and start again... we can do this, with Him as our anchor. #farmhousesink #kitchensink #weatheredandwonderful #cottagecharm #farmhouseliving #farmhousecharm #myvintagecottagestyle #cottagestyle #cottagesandbungalows #betterhomesandgardens
