A Healing Birth

I want to share a little piece of this amazing journey with you. On Friday, I had my scheduled C-section, and with it, I got to meet my newest little one. This was my do-over. My reclaiming. My healing. For many, a planned C-section may not seem like the “right” choice, and I know some…

Two More Sleeps

It’s amazing. It’s frightening. And it’s absolutely exhilarating. In just two more sleeps, I’ll be holding this little soul in my arms — this tiny person I’ve been growing and loving for months. He’s a wild card, a whole new dynamic we can’t wait to meet. What will he be like? Who will he look…

A Quiet Day, A New Offering

I’ve always had goals and visions. Writing has been my first love, but I’ve also quietly harbored a dream of sharing curated pieces with others. They may not be magical to everyone, but to me they’re full of the joy of seasonal living – a way to carry reminders of the rhythms of the year…

Broken Shells and New Nests

I’m not sure what shifted in me recently, but something hit hard – an awareness that felt both like a wound and a gift. Life has changed, seasons have shifted, and new interactions have opened my eyes to something I can’t unsee. We are all, in some way, like a bird’s egg. At times, life…

A Day at the Railway Village

Lately, time has felt strange – like it’s racing ahead and standing still all at once. We had a whole list of things we wanted to do this summer, and yet the days have quietly filled themselves with other rhythms, other priorities. But there was one promise I was determined to keep before our family…

A Cauldron of Comfort: Crockpot Chicken Soup

It seems that as I enter this beautiful, magical nesting phase, I’ve also stepped into a season where nearly every meal I make begins in the crockpot. There’s something about it that feels so much more than functional – it’s like a modern-day cauldron, quietly bubbling away with nourishment, warmth, and love. Lately, I’ve been…

Rooted in the Shift

Hello friends! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I stepped away from blogging for a time, truthfully, because I lost myself for a while. I didn’t have a clear purpose or a steady rhythm. I hopped from theme to theme, never quite knowing why I felt drawn to share, only that something inside me wanted…
