Hey you,

Welcome to the blog. Here you’ll find daily dispatches and musings of our family’s life in a small town as we raise our kids, fix up our farm, and renovate houses. Thanks for stopping by! We’re so glad you’re here.

What Brings You Joy?

What Brings You Joy?

Loves, what brings you joy lately? We’re currently in a rather busy season of life, so I am choosing to focus on the moments of light (instead of what I want to focus on: the big feelings of overwhelmingness that we are experiencing over here), which means giving a little extra attention to the things that brighten my day.

Right now for me, it’s:

  • Seeing all the greenery that is popping up everywhere, especially on the farm and at our house in town.

  • Listening to Anna tell me about her day at school, always starting with “Guess what?”

  • Watching PJ water the plants on the back porch.

  • Drinking less during the week. I feel SO much better the next morning.

  • Hearing Allan talk about XYZ animal he learned about on The Discovery Channel.

  • The light in our bedroom this time of year.

  • When Riah wakes up before anyone else and makes his way down the stairs to spend a few minutes with me on the couch.

  • Waking up to a beautiful morning.

What about you? What has brought you joy lately (even if it’s something small)?
