The Lord has been teaching me about seasons — seasons of the year and seasons of life. In this post, I’m sharing a little of what He has been showing me about rhythms, overlapping responsibilities, encouragement between women, and finding peace in the season He has placed us in.

THE SABBATH GIFT The Sabbath has been, without a doubt, one of the best gifts I have ever been given — probably second only to the free gift of salvation through Jesus. I know that is a bold claim, but don't knock it until you've tried it! :) Truly, though, if you have never tried resting on the Sabbath, I beg you to at least give it a shot.

The cute Pinterest homeschool spaces are dreamy! But what if you don’t have a designated space to spare? Don’t worry, neither do I! This will be our fourth year of homeschooling and it’s always at the kitchen table or in the living room. We generally keep one end of the table for eating while the other is used for schooling. I keep our school decor minimal because I still enjoy having our dining room feel like it’s a dining room and not overtaken by homeschool. Our pencil sha
