Finding a routine despite inconsistent schedules.
My breakfast
A late night snack with my sweet dh. May I remember to relish the moments he’s home!
I got an email from a sweet friend today asking if I had my own workspace. I started responding and realized that there were going to be pictures and bulleted lists — I should just make it a blog post!
When DH and I were looking to buy a house, we really wanted to each have [...]

When? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Is it organized or at a whim?
I am doing some personal research about prayer and while there’s tons of information about there to give me an intellectual understanding but I’m looking [...]
My dh has been gone all summer for training. It has been a quiet, reflective summer but I am so very thankful to have him back!
As I mentioned earlier, I read Dearest Friend and much of the first part of the book discusses their time apart due to the work required for [...]
