  • Overwhelmed. Over-Booked. Blessed.

    Sometimes I stop and think about what I actually do in a day. At the core of it, my main goal is to keep VJ alive, happy, and occupied, hopefully making as little mess as possible, and to keep up with all the things I’ve taken on. That’s the simple version, but the truth is,…

  • The Story of Smalltown Market Days

    Three years ago, I had a simple idea: to take the little cow pasture beside my family’s small sporting goods store and transform it into something more. A space where people could gather, where small businesses could shine, and where our community could celebrate all it has to offer. I wanted to create a market…

  • I’m not who I used to be & neither are you!

    If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’ve probably noticed that a lot of what I write about comes straight from church. Honestly, I’m just so thankful that my family and I finally found a church home that feels like home. Every Sunday I walk away with something…whether it’s encouragement to share God’s word,…

  • Living the Life I Once Prayed for!

    Have you ever stopped in the middle of an ordinary moment and thought, “Wow…this is the life I once prayed for”? That happened to me today, sitting on the beach with sand between my toes and the sound of waves crashing in the background. I looked up from my chair to see my husband bent…

  • Don’t Expect You From Other People

    There’s a saying I’ve been holding onto lately: “Don’t expect you from other people.” Simple words, but wow they’ve been sitting heavy on my heart these past few weeks. Life has been full of changes recently, and with changes come new situations, new challenges, and sometimes new disappointments. What’s really caught me off guard, though,…

  • The Woman I Was vs. The Woman I Am Becoming

    Have you ever stopped to think about how the decisions you make today ripple into tomorrow? Or how the choices you made ten years ago somehow landed you right here? I know there’s a plan, His plan, but let’s be honest…sometimes I wonder if God looks at me and thinks, “Girl, that was NOT on…

  • The Kind of Spouse I’m Learning to Be

    Are you the one who helps with the farm work, even though you’ve got a mile-long to-do list of your own, just so you can get some quality time and maybe learn something new? Are you the one who complains that dinner is cold because that “last task” outside took way longer than he said…

  • Making Time for Us… Before We Forget Who ‘Us’ Is

    ⸻ Do you ever feel like you’re always in motion…constantly heading to and from an event, a trip, or just running errands that somehow turn into an all-day adventure? You blink, look at the clock, and think, “If I had just one more hour, I could… probably still not get it all done.” That’s exactly…

  • Finding Fullness in an Imperfect Day

    Life’s messy. Plans change. Toddlers lose their minds. But even on the wildest days, there’s still good to be found. ☕🐄🩰 Whether your glass feels half full or half empty lately, this one’s for you. 🫶 So friend—how’s your glass today?

  • You’re Worth is Priceless

    Have you ever really stopped to think about what it means to know your value? To truly understand your worth—not just in one area, but in every aspect of your life? We tend to ask the question when applying for a job: What am I worth per hour? What should my salary be? But our…
