It’s the 6th day of December and here we are reading our family Christmas devotional for the first time.

The perfectionist in me is UNDONE that we are starting(!) on the sixth day, but it is what it is. I wanted to start on the first day but misplaced the cards. We did something different instead, then we got off track over the weekend, and poof yesterday they magically appeared again.

It takes almost out loud, literal reminding myself that advent isn’t more special if we start on the first day than if we start on the sixth day. The important part is very simply showing up. Stay the course faithfully. We missed a few days, and it’s ok. We picked up where we were and we’ll continue from there.

If your perfectionism, like mine, is shining extra bright this holiday season here’s a truth I continue to hang my heart on:

Being reminded of how inadequate I am is a actually a good thing. If I got everything right I’d be tempted to place my hope in myself. But hope isn’t found in this imperfect mama- it’s found only in the one who walked this life perfectly. The one who continues to reveal his goodness and faithfulness to me as I place all my hope in Him. He meets me in my mistakes, failures, and frustrations. He lavishly provides so much good in my life. When my heart is steadfast on Him I take my eyes off the imperfections and see His faithful work in my heart and home. 💗

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭31:24‬

It’s the first day of December✨

…and that means a new collection of themed activities are available for members and subscribers to download! There are currently 7 but I have a few surprises planned to add as we have time. All of them were created to give you ways to intentionally capture these December days and have fun while doing it!

BUT as your friend may I encourage you with something? Even though there are 7, you don’t HAVE to do all 7. Choose a few you genuinely enjoy most and just do those. Make plans to go gently through the next few weeks- have fun doing special things but also hold space for margin and soak in the beauty of simple, ordinary days. Not every day is going to be magical, but that isn’t our goal- faithfulness is. 💗

Don’t you just LOVE when your read aloud sparks

Don’t you just LOVE when your read aloud sparks the imagination?! We are allllmost finished with The Doll People and have absolutely enjoyed every chapter! Even better, it’s reignited a love for our dollhouse and imaginative play! My cute crew makes me laugh when I listen in to them playing and making up the dolls conversations. They can spend their entire room time rearranging rooms, pretending to make the dolls interact... What a golden childhood treasure! ✨

Anyhow, I’m always on the hunt for a good read aloud so when I discovered this gem I knew I had to share! 💗 The Doll People by Ann M. Martin (you know, the author of all the babysitter’s club books- totally different stories 😉)

unhurried.
happy hearted.
quiet at home.

Last week I took a break and absolutely loved it, almost didn’t want to come back. I cherish these days with my cute crew so much and, the truth is, we are in a season where they really need me. I don’t want to miss the good because I’m chasing down quiet time or bedtime. I want to soak in our days and enjoy every ounce of them. Gradually IG has absorbed more and more of my time and now I’m finding myself at a crossroad deciding whether to make writing my full time job or lay it down to love my family well. The choice isn’t hard- I will pick my family every time. 💗

The time has come to draw up boundary lines, chase down the BEST for us, and trust the Lord will lead and provide because, y’all, He does every. single. time.

He blessed and grew this little business of mine into something so special, bigger than I EVER imagined. I can trust Him to lead my next steps. I have no doubt He will come through in ways I can’t even imagine yet.

This is our story, but if you’re in a similar place where you feel Him calling you to step out in faith let me be your cheerleader. Trust Him. He is FOR you. He will never disappoint. 💗

“We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul”
Hebrews 6:19
