I am so excited that it’s April. This really is a month to celebrate, friends. We made it through another winter. Aside from a few cold snaps here and there we have warm days, flowers, sunshine, and late nights outdoors in our future.

Salt Dough, Dried Oranges, & Unforeseen Traditions
My friend, Summer, wrote on a recent instagram post about how in the early years of parenting we do our best to “make Christmas happen”. Squeezing in activities and traditions until we are tired, burdened, and can’t even bear the thought of having one more thing we have to do. In the early years of my … Read More about Salt Dough, Dried Oranges, & Unforeseen Traditions
Seasonal Wellness | Our Winter Medicine Cabinet
Winter is rapidly approaching. In fact, this week it made a hasty welcome into our hometown. Yesterday we were greeted with our first snowfall of the season and the remainder of the week we are supposed to have steady freezing temperatures; a rather uncommon thing for Arkansas in November. While I am always excited to … Read More about Seasonal Wellness | Our Winter Medicine Cabinet

Yesterday the sun finally peeked out from behind the gray clouds that seem to have taken a permanent place in our small corner of Northwest Arkansas this winter. It was nice, even a bit warm, so I stepped outside just to soak up it’s rays and take it all in. As I stood there warming … Read More about A Simple Guide to Morning Time | March 2019
Making a Home Binder & Committing To ‘Empty Time’
This month I am working through January’s task in The Simple Home of creating a home binder. I have to admit that this chapter hasn’t been as inspiring to me as making handmade dryer balls, re-organizing our laundry room, or pulling together our winter medicine cabinet but even so I do recognize its value.

On Simple Living
There is much talk lately about simple living. Oftentimes, especially on social media, this idea is presented to us with pretty pictures of thrifted home décor, a cup of coffee, or a bouquet of dahlias freshly purchased from the farmers market.

When Motherhood Doesn’t Feel Like Enough
Tending to projects around the house this summer has given me an abundance of time to think. As a mother, I have found that my mind tends to be in this constant state of wandering quickly from one topic to another: remember to add this to our grocery list, don’t forget to do this, call … Read More about When Motherhood Doesn’t Feel Like Enough
