A Dinner Table Conversation

I love “family” meals.
I love “family” meals.
I may sound like a broken record, but I really feel God calling us to live a simpler life. Not only that, but have conversations with people about living a more simple life. I feel a great way to start that conversation is here. It is easy to get overwhelmed with the direction Americans are going – with…
Call me strange, but I love the idea of moving. Granted this is coming from someone who has this odd love for organizing, purging, and living a simple life. And moving helps feed into all 3 of those passions. Over the past two weeks, I have started to scan our home and take a mental…
Real. Real homes. Real people. Real kids. Real moments. Real everything. You with me? So I love Instagram. Maybe it’s kinda weird, but I find that there are some pretty “real” people on the Insta. Can I just thank you, from the bottom of my heart? Our souls long for people like you. I’m not…
This post is sponsored by Wayfair. Our dream has always been to create a place of respite, relaxation, and refreshment in our backyard. With having a pool, we knew right away when we knew we got this house, that we wanted to use it as an oasis for other people to enjoy. Living within our…

It was a marriage tester I must say, but when we were finished, it is the thing we are most proud of. I love your perspective Mary and thank you for yet again, sharing your words of wisdom :)!
