I like these things. I also meant to post this last week! Whoops. Started listening to Christmas music this week! It all started on a nasty, cold, rainy day. Whit and I came home from church, ate lunch while listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas album, and then snuggled on the couch. It was perfect. … Continue reading Friday Things

Packing Clothing for a Long Trip
So, I promised I would share about how I packed my clothing for our six-week trip to Australia and New Zealand. 1. Start early. I started thinking about what clothes I would bring months beforehand. This was important because if I wanted any new clothing for Australia's winter in July, I would need to buy … Continue reading Packing Clothing for a Long Trip
Christmas Books
What are your favorite books to read at Christmastime? I love the story of Skipping Christmas (John Grisham) - it's a shame I didn't like the movie very much. But I don't want to read the same book every year. What's another great story to cozy up with when Christmas is approaching? I would like … Continue reading Christmas Books
Faint
No, this post title was not alluding to some theological teaching about what to do when you're faint of heart or something like that. It's about how I fainted today. So original, right? 🙂 I am getting an allergy test done to check for 200 different possible foods that I might be sensitive to. I … Continue reading Faint

I like these things A dorky pun. I'm studying for the GRE right now so this is extra meaningful to me. It's just true. This Gospel Coalition article that put my thoughts about French parenting into an accurate analogy of our own relationship with God the Father. This perfect picture by Katelyn James. A picture … Continue reading Friday Things
Feelings
Okay, I have been neglecting my blog the past couple of weeks, after I was through with the pressure to try to post as often as possible in October, because my life has been cuh-razy lately! And by lately I mean since March!! I had one of those moments a couple nights ago where I … Continue reading Feelings

I like these thingsThis post by Oh Dear Drea that expresses a lot of my thoughts (which I didn't necessarily know I had) about online connectedness and FOMO. The first two paragraphs are the most relevant - I don't make money or have tons of readers on my blog, and I haven't stepped back from … Continue reading Friday Things
FOUR
Today, Whit and I have been married for FOUR years!! I've kind of been itching to get to this anniversary... it feels like it's been a long time coming. After our third anni last year, I kept thinking we had been married for four years, not three - felt like we had been married longer … Continue reading FOUR
A Chilling, Thrilling Halloween
Have you ever heard of Walt Disney's 1964 album, Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House? Me neither. Apparently it was THE album of Halloween for many people growing up. It inspired the ride at Disney World, and I assume the movie as well. A trip to Mars, a shipwreck, a bridge - not exactly … Continue reading A Chilling, Thrilling Halloween
