I went on a quick thrifting trip at the beginning of the summer, and I have been wearing some of these finds nonstop since then. It seemed like a good time to put together a few things I’ve learned about thrifting over the years. I’ve included brands of items even though I’m not much of… Read More A few thrift store finds

My journals, bibles, and bible study books tend to wind up all over the place, and when I want to sit down… Read More Quiet Time Basket

. . . and a warning that I’m awkward at sharing big news. The garden is just glorious. Glorious, I tell you! I still can’t believe things are growing out of the earth (you know, like they have for millions of years). Recent harvest. (Yes, it’s about half a serving.)
