Ode to Denise

For years now my family has gone all out on Christmas cards. Whether it’s choosing a theme (Giants football, thrifted Christmas sweaters, USA) or just choosing a strategy (making a family pyramid, mimicking the Brady Bunch, designing a crossword puzzle) we try to create something that will both celebrate the year and make people smile.

September & October Favorites

Even though it hasn’t felt all the way like fall where I am, I’ve still been loving it!

The Tiny Grenade

First, a tiny reminder. At the beginning of every year, I find a word. It’s a theme of sorts. Something to pray on and learn from throughout the year. And come December, I reflect on all that it gave me. This year, the word is: wonder. . Now, a tiny time travel. Back in 2016, Continue reading

May & June Favorites

Nothing quite captures the mood of the newly arrived summer heat than the text I got from my sister the other day politely asking me to “prepare a funeral for the death of my sanity.” The triple digits really hit hard. So I hope you’re reading this somewhere with air conditioning and an ice cold Continue reading

My Best Day in June

I fell into a routine of doing these every other month, but then, some months just have a day you want to write about. Days you want to squeeze like a wet towel so you can wring out all the tiny details and get them down on paper so you can remember them for much Continue reading
