Welcome

Well, hello there! I’m so glad you stopped by to check out my site.

I just love home, don’t you? While I love learning to care for and decorate our home I know it’s not really the space but the people I love that truly make it home.

Come learn with me on how to cultivate a home that brings glory to God and grace to everyone who visits.

Today I want to be present where I am. You know, like actually pay attention when people are talking to me. To play with my boy instead of scrolling through social media. To focus when I'm reading God's Word so I'm not just habitually scanning a book. This quote by missionary martyr Jim Elliot is one of my absolute favorite quotes of all time. I need the reminder to be all there, not just bodily there. A pinable version is on the blog. #jimelliot #missionary #quotes #thehomeandhearthblog #quotestoliveby #beallthere

"... Maybe you've scrolled through Instagram and noticed someone's perfectly curated feed with photos of their home. It may be minimalistic. It could be farmhouse whites. Or maybe one main theme color. Sometimes I feel like we get the false idea that their home looks like that all the time because that's what they portray on social media. But it doesn't or if it does then they aren't home very much. Personally, I feel a little uncomfortable in a perfectly decorated and cleaned house. I like a clean house. PLEASE, don't invite me over if you haven't cleaned your bathroom in a month. What I'm saying is I love a home that's taken care of but lived in, not just a pretty, decorated house."

HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS! I just finished sewing this top together and thought about presenting it as a giveaway once its finished. Originally I intended it to be a little girls babydoll quilt and was just doing some #stashbusting . But now that its together I realized it would be a really cute tabletop quilted center piece for SPRING!!! It would be the cutest with a bouquet of daffodils or other spring flowers. Anyone interested in a giveaway? #springiscoming #quiltinglove #possiblegiveaway #springdecor #pinkandyellow #johndeere #justaddflowers P.s. you could let your girlie have it during the off season for her babies. [Think baby doll tea party😉]

Sickness. It comes to all of us at some point and it's even worse when it's your little ones. We've gone through two different rounds of sickness with Jack this month and so I wanted to share some remedies we found that really helped. The hardest for me is that he can't talk yet and communicate what hurts or how he feels. But we found 6 things that alleviated some discomfort and were easy accomplish.

I've finally done something I've been talking about to my sister @missouri_lark94 for years. I created a cheat-sheet master list of our favorite meals to reference when I meal plan each week. Please don't tell me I'm the only one who gets in a meal planning rut. I can already tell this is going to be SUCH AN INSPIRATION. I've been cleaning out drawers and such and pulled out my notepads with meal plans from the past SEVEN years. I went through them, copied down the meals and tossed the notepads out. Now I have a master list and a clean & free desk drawer. Do you meal plan? Or want to meal plan but get in a rut? #housewifelife #mealplanning #frugalliving #savingmoney #homecooking #homemaking #mealplanner #mastermeallist #favoriterecipes #declutter

I read this quote a few weeks ago and I can't get it off my mind. It reminds me of James 3:11 "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?". The context James is talking about is controlling the tongue. And Proverbs 20:11 speaks of a foolish man spewing out everything that enters his head, while the wise man thinks before speaking. When my "cup" is jolted, what words come out of my mouth? Words of bitterness that I will regret? Or words of sweetness? I want it to be sweetness, forgiveness, and graciousness. How do I guarantee that will happen? "...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Matt. 12:34 FOCUS ON THE HEART. What I put into my heart settles what comes out of my mouth. Fill your heart and mind with the Word of God, so the next time your cup is jolted sweetness will spill out. #devotionalthoughts #sweetwords #quotes #focusontheheart #words #theheartofthematter Ps.
