Last Friday we celebrated ten years married. A sa Last Friday we celebrated ten years married.

A sacred vow, not taken lightly. One we’ve had to fight for — not against each other, but for us. We’ve had high highs and deep lows. Joy and exhaustion. Times where love overflowed, and times where it felt distant. And through it all, God has held us.

I found a post from our 5 year anniversary where I wrote, “I can’t wait to see what the next five years hold.” I couldn’t have imagined it: we’ve welcomed our son (after loss), moved from all we knew on the West Coast to the Great Plains, and our third daughter, and walked through seasons that stretched and refined us more than we expected. We’ve carried low blows and inner expectations. Shattered dreams and delighted in things we never knew we needed. We’re softer, we’ve aged, the stress and joy simultaneously show in the lines on my face and the grays in his hair.

We’ve learned a lot in these ten years (not to mention the many years together prior to marriage). Our top lessons learned, to be applied in any season of married life:

To keep Christ at the center, because we quite literally can’t do this on our own. To remember we’re on the same team — it’s us against the problem, not each other. To communicate clearly, to ask clarifying questions, to speak gently. To choose love even when we don’t feel it, because covenant love is about faithfulness, not just feelings. To pursue emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy because connection takes intention. To close the gap quickly… small distances grow fast when ignored. To have solid relationships in our life with godly friends. To not compare our marriage to others or even to past seasons — contentment and gratitude grow when we stay present. To not take what’s felt in middle of the night nursing sessions too seriously, and remember that forgiveness is grace freely given. To outserve one another, because pride and selfishness destroy what humility can heal. To laugh often! Joy softens the edges of the hardest days. And to keep choosing one another, day after day. Because that’s what builds forever.

Here’s to the next ten! May we continue to grow, forgive, serve, and glorify the One who brought us together. 💛
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
John 14:27

We are created to need the help of the Holy Spirit! We simply need to let go of pride in the form of perfectionism or idealistic expectations founded on comparison or unbiblical truths — then, we can allow for a more peaceful heart, thus a more peaceful life, and home for us and our loved ones. Through Christ, we find contentment in all circumstances. We easily over-complicate, and idolize the wrong things. Our home can be a haven, or it can be a peril. We first must take inventory of what’s taking up space in our mind, heart, and home… and purge what’s not meant to be. It’s time to let go of idealism, comparison, and make room for joy, hospitality, and enjoying the home and family you have in front of you.

Entitlement breeds discontentment, but with the Lord as our guiding light, we can find joy and contentment despite our circumstances.

Pray, journal, and talk with the Lord, asking Him to teach you how to be not simply “okay with” what your right now looks like, but to learn how to fully embrace and enjoy each bit. Learn how to be thankful with your plans being different than the Lord’s plans, or even simply his timing.

I’ve been deeply reflective lately. Maybe it’s I’ve been deeply reflective lately. Maybe it’s because my body knows I’d be holding a baby in my arms around this time, or because it’s been three years since we walked through one of the most painful seasons of our lives.

Over half a year of unemployment, just after moving across the country on a leap of faith. Doors slammed shut. Paths we thought we were faithfully following disappeared beneath us, swallowed up in confusion. We felt forgotten by God, convinced we had made a terrible mistake.

And yet, He held us.

Through every kind of loss. Grief has come in waves. I’ve been angry with myself for mourning a life I was never meant to live. Ease, comfort, and relief haven’t often been part of our story.

I’ve never known the grief of losing a grandparent or close loved one to death, but I’ve known the ache of other losses. The loss of relationships. The weight of financial strain. The sting of physical distance from those we love. The quiet heartbreak of life lost in the womb. The confusion of feeling like we misheard God.

Still, He has held us.

We didn’t know what was ahead when we eagerly rolled into a new state three winters ago, the snow falling hard around us. We couldn’t see the trials that were coming. And honestly, if we had, we may never have come.

But He held us.

And He still does. As we continue to walk through uncertainty, face fear of rejection or failure, and carry burdens heavier than we can manage alone, He carries us. Every step. Every trial. Every deep water.

He walks with us as we make our pilgrimage to the cross.

So I gather up the anxieties, the ache, the unknown… and place them once again in the hands of the One who has never failed to hold us.

Getting this vulnerable isn’t my usual M.O. here, but I felt led to share, in hopes that it might meet someone else in their own lonely, hidden, and weary stretch of the road. You are not alone in your pilgrimage. 💛
From one mother to another 💌
Please don’t c From one mother to another 💌
Please don’t carry the weight of doing it all perfectly.
You don’t need to match anyone else’s pace.
Your children were given to you for a reason.
Set the phone down. Look into their eyes.
Watch their tricks. Listen to their stories.
Let them help, even if it takes longer.
Pick them up when they’re sad. Hug them often.
Let them slow you down.
Be kind. Be patient.
Nurture gently. Hold them while they’re little.
Kiss them every chance you get. Tell them you love them.
Let them dress like pirates or princesses.
Read their favorite book again. And again, and again.
Smile at them. Bake the cookies.
Don’t complain when they want your attention.
Give it freely. You won’t regret it.
Listen. Really listen.
They’re only little for a little while.
You are living the dream.
Being a mother is the dream.
These little ones are a treasure —
And God entrusted them to you.
So don’t squander the gift.
Love them well. Nourish your soul in the process.
He gives grace for the day… and joy in the giving. 🕊️
Last year, I created these (in different forms) be Last year, I created these (in different forms) because I couldn’t find anything that truly fit the way I live and mother — something all-encompassing yet peaceful, to help reduce the overwhelming endless tasks in my head.

As a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, homemaker, mother and home manager, I longed for a tool that held all the parts of my day in one place. With four children ranging from 2 to 9, I needed visual plans I could laminate and post around our home — rhythms that supported both me and them in the roles we’re in, and a purposeful way to utilize our paper tools every day.

🧺 The Solace Companion is for the mother keeping rhythms of home and heart. It holds everything from Scripture and priorities to homeschool lessons, timetables, meals, term breakdowns, habits, fitness and wellness, mother culture, and quiet reflections — with structure that supports your needs without adding overwhelm.

📚 The Gentle Companion is for your children — a beautiful mix of planner, rhythm-keeper, chore + routine checklists, homeschool tools, notebooking and narration pages, exams, recitation, nature, and more. A tool they can grow with from the early years through independence.

🪴 While my earlier versions offered the heart of these ideas, this launch is a complete redesign! With improved layouts, added functionality, and an even more intentional flow. They’re built to be versatile and to meet you where you are, whether you’re just beginning, or established in your rhythms.

💡 You can use them however fits your family: printed at home, professionally bound, laminated for reuse, tucked into a portfolio, or hung on the wall. In our home, we mix it all — bound pages for planning, laminated routines by the door, and a seasonal portfolio we swap out for enrichment and co-op.

Each is available as either a Canva Pro editable template or a printable PDF (with full printing instructions included).

They’ve been thoughtfully redesigned in collaboration with @thoroughfaredesign and are now live in my shop!

✨ Which one fits your season: Solace, Gentle, or both? ✨
One year ago, we were touring this teeny two-bedro One year ago, we were touring this teeny two-bedroom rental, wondering how we could possibly make it work for our family of six. The only way it made sense? This converted attic.

It’s quirky and oddly shaped, with sloped ceilings and awkward corners… but it was full of potential. And somehow, over the last months, it’s become one of the most special spaces in our home.

All four of our kids share this attic, and after lots of creativity (and rearranging it more times than I can count), it’s finally settled into something that works.

Tucked into the center is a quiet little space that belongs to our son, Rudy. He’ll be 5 in just a few weeks 🤠 (I’ll cry when he’s a whole-hand-years-old 🖐🏻). I’ve focused on making it feel classic, timeless, and perfectly boyishly him while being mostly fitted with thrifted or secondhand items. 

There’s also the tiniest little cutout space we call the play nook — small but so sweet, and full of imagination. The kids create plays of Peter Pan, play “family,” and choreograph ballet recitals. These imperfect corners are becoming the backdrop of their childhood memories.

This house hasn’t been without its challenges 🤪 mice, issues left by previous tenants, odd neighbors, and plumbing issues galore… but it’s been a haven. A gentle landing place. A perfectly imperfect transition home that we’ve been so thankful for.

I can’t believe it’s already been a year. So much life has been lived here already. 🥹 I‘ve been in my feels reminiscing this past year in this home. 

Do your kids share a room or have a favorite little space of their own? I’d love to hear about the unexpected spots in your home that have become meaningful over time 🥹
