In high school, I spent a summer traveling in a retired school bus through the pacific northwest, working with a group of teenagers to encourage churches from one state to the next. Whatever they needed, we did, whether it was painting a youth room, or doing balloon art at a park for neighborhood kids. But before… Keep Reading
“A-B-C” Gluten-Free Grilled Sandwich
Lunch is such an easy meal to welcome guests. Having a mama-friend and her kiddo over to play, or a neighbor, is easy when there’s a no-fuss meal option. I love salads for easy, light, healthy meals, but when we created this sandwich idea, I felt like a kid again myself… with all my grown-up… Keep Reading
Geometric Pallet Wall Art
I love, love, love the high ceilings and the gorgeous natural light that streams into our family room. I’ve been beyond happy with the warm grey walls, the golden-toned floors and my orange chair. But this giant wall loomed even more giant in my design lack, and I hated staring at its vast expanse and… Keep Reading
Cassava (Yuca) Fries with Sriracha Drizzle
Yuca fries have to be the strangest addiction I’ve picked up. But like carrot fries, they’ve become a favorite side or a snack (and I love to serve unusual snacks that are nourishing and fun). We’ve got a little neighbor whose parents are foodies, and he’s always willing to try any new creation we have,… Keep Reading
Italian-Inspired Gazpacho
Last week, my daughter and I welcomed a house full of the sweetest girls to spend the day with us. We took them out on a photo adventure/nature hike. We played board games. We talked about sweet life lessons… and we ATE. The girls have been serving at a beautiful camp all summer, and their… Keep Reading
Creating a Welcome Guest Basket
A few weeks ago, I spent the afternoon with a good friend, painting her newly converted guest room and preparing it for a busy summer of visitors. We had such a sweet time, listening to worship music, sipping on switchel, and anticipating the memories to be made in her home. In anticipation of the in-laws,… Keep Reading
Creating a Welcoming Guest Room {Facebook Live}
This week I ventured into Facebook Live, and I think I might be hooked! I’m always wishing I could actually invite you here, to tuck up our feet on the couch, to sip something warm, to nibble on a treat (are you baking, or am I?), and talk life. I think video might get… Keep Reading
Office Reveal {DIY Home Office and Painted Subfloor}
Our home came with a walk-out attic space, and we knew immediately that we wanted to spruce it up for use. It’s not technically considered a bedroom, but it’s a great little spot to work, craft alongside my kiddos, curl up to read a book, and invite a guest to stay for a while. From… Keep Reading
Dark Chocolate Cherry Protein Smoothie
I’m forever trying to “up” the value of our breakfasts, and while I tend to crave a savory, meaty meal first thing, sometimes we create a sweet treat. There’s something that makes the morning feel special about having chocolate first thing. And when we have lots of guests, it’s fun sometimes to spoil “just our… Keep Reading
Curry Lime Carrot Fries
Vegetable “fries” are an easy snack to share with friends and family, and using ingredients like carrots to make these curry lime carrot fries can elevate both the flavors and the nutritional value. When we host friends, I like to keep the meal simple but hearty, even though my tendency is to complicate everything. … Keep Reading
Free Watercolor Scripture Printable
I have a little inspiration corner in my office where I put up quotes, artwork, and scripture that inspires me. This morning I was feeling artsy and created this watercolor scripture printable piece to welcome spring. I love that we can take a few moments (and with the help of amazing artists) and create something… Keep Reading
How to Build a Pallet Wall (Without Losing Your Mind)
Before we moved into our home, our second and fourth kiddos fought over who got a pallet wall. The second won (at least first), because his room is bigger, and because he’s flying the nest sooner. (Thoughts on this parenting moment to follow.) I thought after our rapid-fire experience at building ours, others might benefit… Keep Reading
