10 THINGS TO PROMOTE REST IN YOUR RHYTHM

What do you have in place to help ensure that you're taking the time to rest and recoup throughout the day?

As I get older, I'm realizing how important regular sleep and times of rest are for the well-being of my family. I'm notorious for pushing hard to get things done and at times burning the candle at both ends. The truth is, it really does catch up with you. And taking a few days to "catch up" on sleep really doesn't work like it used to.

THANKSGIVING ESSENTIALS

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of my blogs to help with your planning! Here are a few recipes and little things we’ve done to make this time of year intentional. Enjoy!

HOLIDAY SHORTBREAD THUMBPRINT COOKIES

One of our favorite family traditions is making cookies for our neighbors around the holidays. We’ve tried a handful of different cookies and recipes. These shortbread thumbprint cookies have stood out above the rest and have become our favorite! Over time, we’ve adjusted and tried different jams and fruits for the filling - so feel free to get creative.

DETAILS - THE ART OF ANTICIPATING NEEDS AND GETTING THINGS DONE

When I was in the process of designing my website and thinking through topics I could write about, the topics of this book became my first blog series. The blog series was intended to be simple and concise, but I had written more content than would be helpful for reading in a minute or two. So I had it in the back of my mind that I would put this together into an eBook of some sort in the future…

THE ALL NEW DAY PLANNER IS HERE

In addition to releasing a revised version of DETAILS, I’m also releasing a freshly redesign day planner printable on my resource page. It’s simple, it’s clean, and it’s designed to help you keep track of your thoughts and check tasks off your list.

A NEW RHYTHM - 2021

As we move from one season to the next, we've decided to once again revamp our family rhythm. Truth be told, our rhythm is an ongoing work in progress. As a family with two kids, our schedules are always in flux and so is what works for us at any given time. We're lucky that no two days ever seem the same…

5 CREATIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO OUTSIDE WITH YOUR KIDS

Now that the weather is warmer, the little ones prefer to be outside doing something fun. If you're looking for some inspiration to keep things fresh and exciting, here are 5 easy outdoor activities you can do with your little ones.

MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT

Each day is a clean slate. A fresh start. A reset.
We greet each day. And its endless possibilities.
We plan. We expect. We anticipate.
But life is unpredictable.
What will each day hold? We never really know…

MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT IN PARENTING - OBEDIENCE YEARS 1-5

One of the most important goals for the first 5 years of my boys' lives has been teaching them how to cultivate obedient hearts. This goal takes a high priority over everything else - school, creative time, and playing. We provide the boys with tons of opportunities to enjoy playing, exploring, and spending time together. But, when it's necessary, we'll stop and prioritize moments for instruction and development.

NEW GROWTH

Goals are a hot topic right now. Part of this is because it's the beginning of a new year, and it's customary to start the year by making resolutions and setting goals. Another reason goals are getting a lot of attention is because of 2020 and how so many of us were affected by it. Last year changed how many of us are thinking about goals in 2021, and now we're all very aware of how outside circumstances affect our ability to achieve them. For many people, goals feel unattainable, frustrating, and not worth the effort and disappointment that is sure to accompany them. This does not have to be the case…
