“just one tent away from a ….”

read a delightful book while at the beach

A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet  by Sophie Hudson

I HIGHLY recommend this cheerful yet touching quick read :O)

(order yours today from my sidebar)

by the way I wholeheartedly agree with the author

“Family is to be celebrated”

We’re living in a day where the term “family” can be defined in a variety of ways.  I will not be discussing the ups, downs, ins and outs of that soap box instead I’m going to share stories about the family I cherish. The good, bad and and even some ugly. Celebrating family, sharing a story a day the whole month of September. I assure you there’s plenty to tell..

Some will be funny, maybe wet-your-pants hilarious while others may just be just a smidge more than a little bit CRA-ZEE!

All will be true.

My hope is to share real stories and a bit more about the characters who have contributed to the sweet memories that I hold near and dear. Stories of how it became family tradition to dress as Pilgrims and Indians on Thanksgiving or why Cowboy Dan calls us “the singing idiots”.  Which I am more than certain he means in the most polite way possible (wink.wink.)

I hope you’ll make time to drop by because as I mentioned earlier, we’ve got lots to talk about..

and precisely why I’ve got to go for now..It’s time for our Sunday evening gather with momma & daddy and I haven’t boiled my corn!  They’ll be waitin’ on us at the table.

blessings to you and yours,

:O)k

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
