Gather On The Porch
But fall, it’s near perfect. With the earlier sunsets the days cool off quicker, the bugs disappear, and the season that’s symbolic for gathering together is just that, a time to come together. (Even if that means sitting on your front porch with your spouse and babies.)
Summer Party - Hosting Guide
Summer is here, and most of us have been spending time with family and friends outdoors; we all must embrace the good weather while it lasts!
Screen Time Ideas
In fact, our children can learn more about their parents by sharing time in front of the television, together.
Moving With Kids
Oftentimes we think that our children don't feel the weight of a move. Especially with little tiny kids and babies, ignorance is bliss right, but is it really? If mom and dad are under stress, so are the little ones, and this can't be taken lightly. While moves happen sometimes without expectation, and sometimes they're abrupt, there are things we can do to mitigate the emotional strain that weighs on our children.
Family Night Ideas
Establishing the tradition of having a "family night" is what matters more than what actually takes place. Make it exciting by honoring this time together, creating a sacred space for your own family to connect.
Eclectic Homes
Homes resonate who we are as human beings; our unique freckles, our unique piles of books, the freckles accumulate over the years, as do the books.
Protect Your Home From Water Damage
Taking preventative action against water damage is probably the most important part of home ownership.
On A Budget : Road Trips
This summer, instead of enrolling your children in endless extracurricular activity (like camps, lessons, etc.), why not take a few road trips? They are likely more memorable, and will be a time to create memories together as a family.
Outdoor Creative Play For Toddlers
A little shade, some water, and natural materials is all they really need.
Design Friendly Pet Ideas
We become accustomed to living with dog hair all over our furniture, slimy water bowls in the walkways, and giant cat trees that take over our living rooms. It doesn't have to be this way, and living with pets can contribute to the overall hygge of the home.
Buying Your First Home
I am thankful that we were able to purchase a home, but the topic of homeownership can be overwhelming, it has been for me. I still only know a little in regards to what mortgages are about, and thankfully my husband enjoys the topic, little by little I am learning, and already I see the benefit financial benefit in owning a home.
Giving Our Children An Active Childhood
An active childhood isn't something that we can tangibly hand to our children through a gym membership or a spot on the soccer team, it's something we do with them. An active childhood is created by making carefree memories together, through exploration, play, and adventure.
Self Care & Personal Healing
It's not until we offer up our own lives as a sacrifice that we find ourselves in a position for healing.
Five Ways to Sleep Better
Our daily rest begins with our evening rest, and if we're not able to sleep well, we're certainly going to struggle to find rest throughout the day.
A Guest-Ready Home
Hospitality is a beautiful way to offer the gospel, it's silent and powerful. What could be more important?
Vegetable Gardening - For Beginners
A garden is a beautiful thing, especially during the pleasant spring months. A garden is a wonderful place to relax and learn; it’s a place where you can immerse yourself in nature. It's rewarding to watch the bees buzz innocently in the long bloomers as they work hard to keep the planet alive.
Settling Into A New Home
Moving to a new place can be one of the most exciting things that a family will ever do. Starting over in a new home, discovering things about a new environment, and being blessed with a fresh start can be a beautiful season in life.
Make Home A Relaxing Space
Home should be a sanctuary, the place that we can shed our protective layers, and be uniquely who we are.
Finding Your Forever Home
The idea that there is a "forever home" out there for us is inspiring, but can also be burdensome. Finding a forever home is a process, and possibly one that will take a lifetime. A forever home should not be seen as something static and dead-ended, but rather something more elusive. A forever home is what we create for our families to come back to, both tangibly and nostalgically.
Enjoy the Summer - Summer Wellness
Summer is the carefree season, the season of spontaneity and playfulness, the season of fun. As with any season, we desire to maintain wellness and live each season beautifully.
