Uplifting Books for Moms

At a recent gathering after the funeral of a beloved family friend, and with blotchy, tear-stained faces, some of my sisters, our parents and I had a long conversation about books.  We each pulled out our favorite list-making tools (phones for most, a random scrap of paper for one and my bullet journal ) and traded titles of what we’ve been reading […]

He is Risen Coloring Page (free download!)

I am delighted to share a new coloring page with you today.  Just in time for Easter, the inspiration from this page comes from the beautiful story of Christ’s resurrection in Matthew 28.

What I’ve Been Reading February 2016

Essentialism by Greg McKewon Love. Concrete, easy-to-follow examples for how to intentionally simplify your life.  Fascinating case studies about the power of focusing on a limited number of “things”, whether those things are work, service, community or family related.  Loved the insights into how and why to edit my life.  I believe wholeheartedly in it…the hard part is actually following […]

My First Month Bullet Journaling

If you’ve been reading here for any length of time, you know about my obsession with lists and goals. I’ve used many different planners over the years: everything from a blank notebook that I stamped the date in for each day, to the planners I designed myself, to attempting to go completely digital, using Evernote on my phone and more […]
