It’s Fall Y’all!

October 1, 2013 Comments : 2

I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off…what’s new? Where did September go? I mean seriously time is not slowing down…but it really is the best time of year.
I snuck out early this morning to walk the dogs while hubs and baby were fast asleep (note to do this more often). It was nice. I just breathed in the crisp cold air and watched the high schoolers get on their buses. I haven’t had much time to just “be” so this was a really good start. Do you feel like that sometimes? I’m an introvert at heart so being and doing and going exhaust me after some time. From working a full day (and simultaneously working on blog posts, ideas, and focusing on what’s infront of me) to jumping right into the best part of my day – family time. Then after little one falls asleep I’m up working on orders and posts! So lately bedtime has been 1-2am. 
I’m not old…but pulling regular “all-nighters” was for my undergrad years. I’ve been running low on fuel so this morning was much needed. Did I mention I went outside in my plaid pj pants and an old sweater? Yeah…fashion don’t haha. Good thing it was 6AM! 
So did I share that in all of this I’m really happy it’s fall and I’ve been making caramel apples, put up a new wreath, and bought the cool glitter pumpkins from Target (they were too cute to pass up). 
And with it being fall I’m working my little hands on new things…let’s just hope I can work fast enough! 
What are your ways to get into the season?

If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

Staying intentionally present and less annoyed at the little things. Also taking out my Nikon more this month 📷

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry
