Day 3 // "social distancing" There are two poems again because Ant is getting a feel for the way I write my haikus and I don't think he's a fan. "It feels like a giant scattered thought. I feel confident in saying that now because it's the second one like this and it's only Day … Continue reading Story Behind the Poem // day 3

Story Behind the Poem // day 2
Day 2 // "moment to myself" My moment to myself this morning was writing this poem. I slept in until 7:40am and started my Sunday morning much like I'd started yesterday's: next to Ant while he read. I miss Sunday Morning Bible class, but something I'm thankful for that has come out of quarantines and … Continue reading Story Behind the Poem // day 2
Story Behind the Poem // day 1
Day 1 // "through the window" We spent yesterday morning on the couch before heading down to my parents' house. Ant was...reading and I was scrolling through different things on my phone when I remembered that it was August 1st. (How?!)

I’m a Book Dragon! (Or, My TBR-shelf)

Managing this blog and the behind-the-scene layouts and customization . . . it is all very overwhelming. BUT! I finally prevailed and designed the new … Continue reading The Books We Own
Day 2 // Laundry
Dear Laundry, I have loved you as long as I can remember. Well, I've loved the washing and drying and the sorting prior to washing. I have never loved the putting away. When Ant and I got married, I was so excited to sit on the couch and fold laundry while watching a movie or … Continue reading Day 2 // Laundry

Margin Notes: My Journey Through the Bible in 2020 // Weeks 2 + 3
This year one of my goals is to read my Bible everyday. I've always thought a chronological Bible would be cool to read and I've been curious to try the Christian Standard Bible (CSB version), so November-ish of last year, I bought one. For the beginning of 2020, I'm starting in EXODUS. And while, 16 … Continue reading Margin Notes: My Journey Through the Bible in 2020 // Weeks 2 + 3
On This Is Us, Hoarding, and Story
I watched the 5-1/2 minute discussion video they have after every episode and then scrolled up and down hoping Episode 10's teaser trailer would be up. Nope. Not yet. So then I felt empty. Just a bit. But this story--You guys! I LOVE story. Story. With a capital S.
