hi friend

If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your heart longs for more peace, more purpose, and more joy—you’re in the right place. I’m a wife and mom of five, learning to simplify life at home so that the things that truly matter have room to flourish.

Around here, we talk about homemaking rhythms, faith-filled motherhood, simple meals, and little shifts that make home feel lighter and life feel more joyful. Not because I have it all figured out (far from it!), but because I believe we don’t have to do this alone.

Think of this as your cozy corner of the internet—a place to exhale, grab some encouragement, and walk away with practical tools you can use right away. My hope is that when you leave here, you’ll feel inspired, equipped, and reminded that joy is possible in every season.

with joy,

DIY Chunky Blanket

I've always wanted to go to one of those chunky blanket classes. I mean is there any such thing as too many blankets? Let me answer that for you... NOPE!

A friend of mine was going through a tough time and I thought it would be a perfect craft to get her mind off of the circumstances surrounding her. So, I grabbed some yarn for myself, for her and my sister and we got to blanket making.

Let me warn you, this does take several hours, but it's so worth it. It's worth the memories, it's worth the bonding, the time together and the friendship blankets we have as a reminder that we don't have to look far, that we can find peace and comfort in our friends, the people who God places in our lives at just the right time.
