Top Ten Posts of 2018 + Life Update

Hey, y'all! So, I usually do a "top 10 posts" post at the beginning of January, but here it is the first of February! Better late than never, I guess. But first, a quick-as-I-can little life update! I've been posting a lot this months but haven't given many personal deets so here we go. Last …

Content

I started doing some major purging in our home over a year ago, and every time I'd come to a stop and think, "This is pretty great! I'm nearly done!" I'd find more to get rid of very soon after that. What I've discovered is this whole "minimalism" thing is an ongoing process. It's a …

Gone Fishing

Earlier this week we went to a fishing pond near where we live. Cord has been itching to go ever since it warmed up but has had to wait for finals to be done. So, we finally got to go on Monday and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was cool in the …

Garden Update #4

I'm pretty sure it's high time for a little update on the garden. We had lots of rain in April and the past few days have been nice and sunny, so there has been a lot of growth in the garden! Here's a picture of the front of the garden, with the raised bed and …

If My Daughter Has a C-Section Someday

My two year-old has just recently been potty-trained, and although she does really well most of the time, we’re still working out the kinks here and there, when she gets distracted or nervous. She sometimes gets afraid all of a sudden and I have to reassure her that it isn’t scary. One day recently was …

Q&A Post: Homemaker Tag

A sweet friend of mine who blogs over at A Boy Mom recently tagged me in a "homemaker tag" post where tagged stay-at-home mom bloggers answer twenty questions and then tag two more friends when they're done (read her answers here). Stasia tagged me and I thought it sounded like fun, so here we go! …

A Laundry Prayer

I didn't expect to go out to the clothes line this morning and come back with a fresh load of thoughts. But as I gathered and hung each very small article of clothing, I got to thinking. All those tiny pieces of laundry belonging to a little girl I love dearly? Those are continuous reminders …

Easter Weekend Shenanigans

Last week Cord had Spring break, and we had the best weather. We did yard work, ran errands together, and Friday we had a long overdue date--which included thrifting and coffee (and uninterrupted conversations), our favorite kind of date. On Saturday we attended a local egg drop (it's exactly what it sounds like--an egg drop--where …

Garden Update #2

As planned, here is another update on our little garden. I don't have many pictures, but the garden spot is tilled up and coming along quite nicely! We finally had a dry spell long enough for the ground to be less muddy, so Cord got out there in it Saturday and tilled it up and …

Fun Places to Go with Your Toddler

Hey, friends! I hope you're having a great week! We had snow and some frrrrreezing temps last week but for now we're back to somewhat comfortable weather, so I'm really enjoying that! Since it was so nice today (raining, but not too cold), Eden and I got out of the house for a while to …
