Quick Lit: What I’ve Been Reading Lately

I’m joining Anne Bogel from Modern Mrs. Darcy to share what I’ve been reading lately. Girl Waits with Gun I was delighted to learn when I was about 75% finished with this book that it is based on a true story.  I loved the spunky, full of life Kopp sisters, the bravery they found in the face of danger and […]

What’s saving my life right now

Winter months are hard.  Especially for homeschool families, those with new babies and those who live in the frigid North where many days the temperature doesn’t reach double digits.  We fall into all of those categories. So in order for me to keep my sanity, I’m doing the following things.  Maybe not every day, but as often as I can. […]

Peek Into my Art Journal

My Creative Habit for 2017 is very simple.  I’m just setting aside time to do some painting or drawing every day.  Usually this looks like a completed page in my sketchbook, but not always.  Sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 days to finish a sketchbook spread because time is limited in my life right now.  Between a new baby […]

Don’t You Quit Free Quote Poster

One of the most meaningful and inspiring talks I’ve ever heard is Good Things to Come by Jeffrey R. Holland.  It was made into the beautiful Mormon Message video below, and I’ve watched it countless times. Especially during our trials of infertility and adoption it’s brought me tremendous comfort. I can’t make it through this video without tearing up (and some days sobbing). It’s such […]

FREE Pray Always Printable

Friends, I’m feeling discouraged today. It seems like there is so much hate in the world.  More than I ever remember witnessing.  I look at my beautiful children and pray that they feel safe and loved. That they will not face hatred because of their races (though I know that they will).  I pray that my anxious heart will be […]

Swirly Snowman Free Embroidery Pattern

      I received a request from a sweet customer who purchased both my swirly heart pattern and my swirly pumpkin pattern from my Etsy shop.  She loved the style of both patterns and was hoping I could design a snowman version. I loved the suggestion, but with the busy-ness of my life right now it took me a while […]

Winter Term Morning Time Plans

Over the past couple of days we’ve been absolutely slammed by a huge snowstorm. The view above is what it currently looks like out our back door.  There are probably 14 inches of snow on our table out there, and we’ve got drifts multiple feet high around every walkway and on either side of the driveway. We’ve been snowed in […]

Cross Stitch Initials Ornaments

One of my favorite traditions at Christmas time is to make an ornament for each of my children.  Originally we purchased ornaments each year, but over the last couple of years I’ve switched to giving them handmade ornaments, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back.  I love the idea of these little bits of love moving on with my […]

Simple Thank You Cards

In the days leading up to Christmas, I try to have a fun activity planned for each day.  It helps build up the anticipation, while also releasing a little of the excitement that threatens to overwhelm my kids at each and every moment. One of my favorite ways to spend time before the big day is making Thank You cards […]
