Kid Lit: A Few Books Charleston Has Loved Lately
It’s been quite a while since my last Kid Lit post, but not for a lack of research or delightful book discoveries to share. In addition to devouring the twenty or so books in our weekly library haul, Charleston has developed a renewed interest in all of our personal books now that they are housed… Continue Reading
Lately // September 2019
If this month had a theme, it would be “hurry up and wait.” At the start of September I was convinced that I was going to go into labor early, so we spent a lot of time getting everything in order for the babies’ arrival.

As you’ll see, I had my reservations about each of the less… Continue Reading
Doing What’s Mine to Do
If the internet is to be believed, I am utterly failing as a mother. I’m not serving my child homemade, organic foods cut into cute shapes at every meal. We’ve never taken him on a real vacation, let alone visited another country where he would be exposed to different cultures and languages and lifestyles. I… Continue Reading

September Verse of the Month // Psalm 25:4-5
Many Christians talk about how they regularly hear from God, sometimes even audibly. But even though I’ve had a personal relationship with Christ for most of my life, this direct hearing from God isn’t an area where I have a lot of experience.
