Well, dear readers, we’ve spent the better part of the last three months breaking down my goals into actionable steps, and we’ve finally made it to the last goal: self care. I’ve posted about self-care before, you can read that post here. And I’m happy to report that the foot surgery referenced in that postContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Self-Care”

From Goal to Action: Home Life
Housekeeping. Besides ironing and grocery shopping, it’s probably my least favorite chore. And for years, I’ve had loads of help with this area of my life: assigned weekly chores for my children to help complete. But now that they are older and have their own lives, it doesn’t quite work to have a chore chartContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Home Life”
From Goal to Action: Life Rhythms
The needles click-clack in rhythm with Murder, She Wrote, and I sit at her feet, mesmerized by the sound, the way her fingers deftly throw the yarn for each new stitch, the way the blanket seems to magically unfurl with each new row. I learned the art of yarn craft, first knitting and later crochet,Continue reading “From Goal to Action: Life Rhythms”
From Goal to Action: Finances
Like most people I know, talking about money is not my favorite subject. In fact, I’ll often go to great lengths to avoid conversations about money. As someone who can be a bit of a perfectionist, handling money, saving for retirement, and making wise financial decisions in midst of a “keeping up with the Joneses”Continue reading “From Goal to Action: Finances”
From Goal to Action: Relationships
I recently shared my 2023 goals and what worked and what didn’t in 2022. Starting this week, I’m breaking down each goal into specific action steps to help me make progress on my goals. As I break down each goal, it’s important to take the long view. This goal-setting process isn’t a sprint, it’s aContinue reading “From Goal to Action: Relationships”
Traditions: Christmas Movie Nights
There’s no denying it: my family loves a good movie. One of our most cherished Christmas traditions is revisiting our favorite holiday movies every year. Sometimes we’ll make a special treat to go along with it (Sticky Popcorn is always a favorite) but often we just pile into the living room and hit play. Here’sContinue reading “Traditions: Christmas Movie Nights”
Traditions: Soup Sunday
The house is still quiet when I rise from my bed. Most mornings, the smell of brewed coffee greets me, but today I am the first to tread the creaking floorboards. After the normal Friday rituals— Bible, coffee, Instagram— I find myself in the kitchen, mixing flour and water together in anticipation of crusty bread.Continue reading “Traditions: Soup Sunday”
Menu Monday 8.16.21
Happy #menumonday, friends! As you probably saw in my post from last week, I had foot surgery a week ago. I’m recovering well, and even was able to make dinner on Thursday (it was a quick and easy one, I promise). True to form, my biggest struggle so far is remembering to take it easyContinue reading “Menu Monday 8.16.21”
{Menu Monday 12.21.20}
Happy #menumonday, friends! Can you believe it? Christmas week is here!! I’m excited, but it is a bit bittersweet. In a “normal” year, we’d be packing up this week and heading to Montana to visit family, but this year… Well, we are staying home. I’m a little relieved to not be traveling the passes thisContinue reading “{Menu Monday 12.21.20}”
{Menu Monday 12.14.20}
Happy #menumonday, friends! It’s the last week of school before Winter Break, and I’m so ready! Things will be a little different this year (who’s soooo tired of saying that?) but it will be lovely to have some down time, some relaxation, and some family time. I love that we get the full two weeksContinue reading “{Menu Monday 12.14.20}”
