Read MoreI’ve already been browsing for cute shirts for the kids this year - so many stores are already “sold out” of a lot of their Valentine’s Day designs (I’m looking at you, Old Navy!), even though Valentine’s is still a month away.

Read MoreI have always loved receiving Christmas Cards! I love hanging them somewhere special in the house so that I can see the faces of friends and family and can intentionally pray over them.

Read MoreThese gifts were selected for babies from the ages of newborn to 12-18 months old. Mostly these are ideas for babies under the age of one, but some toys are for up to 18+ months, so I’m leaving them on the list in case you’re shopping for a baby that will “grow into” that toy or item over the following year! I hope this list gives you some great ideas for the babies on your list this year!

Read MoreI love the Advent season. The preparation for Christmas and the opportunity to focus my heart on the true reason for the season — Jesus! Several years ago, I purchased an Advent Bible Study from SheReadsTruth that came with these beautiful advent scripture ornaments that you could pop out and hang on your tree. This year I decided to use those scripture ornament cards as our Advent Calendar above our dining table so that we can read a verse every morning at breakfast as we prepare our hearts in this Christmas season.
I have rounded up several beautiful options for Advent Scripture Card Sets — most of them are from Etsy (which means they are handmade by small business creatives!). Some of these sets are printable downloads and others can be shipped.
Read MoreI wanted to share a few of my favorite Bible Verses about thanksgiving and a challenge for you to reflect over the next 10 days leading up to Thanksgiving. It is my hope that this brings great encouragement leading up to both the Thanksgiving holiday and the upcoming Christmas season, as you focus your heart on all that God has done for you and will continue to do in the future!

This is going to sound crazy but my new favorite thing is budgeting with YNAB and you have to try it! It completely changed the way I think about money, the way I spend money, and for the first time in—ever?—I'm not stressed. I have a plan. You will thank me later—don't pass Go, don't collect $200, just sign-up for YNAB!
