Friday Favorites | February 6, 2015

Friday Favorites, February 6, 2015 | Faith and Composition

Today I’m excited to start a new series on the blog, something a bit more lighthearted that will give me an opportunity to share some of the things I’m loving right now. I’m dubbing it Friday Favorites, and today is the first installment. Every other week (or each Friday, if I’m ambitious), I’ll pop in to feature some of the lovely things that have caught my attention. They may include products I’m smitten with, books I’m reading, songs I’m loving, foods I’m craving, and more. So check back each week for recommendations that I think you’ll love as well.

Now for today’s first Friday Favorites: 

1) I love Lauren Daigle’s heart-moving song, “Let it Be.” I’ve had her station playing without interruption on Pandora for a week now. Go ahead and queue it up. It will bless your heart, promise!

2) I recently discovered Haute Hope via the Grit & Grace Instagram feed, and I was instantly smitten. Founded by Jess Puccinelli (who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!), Haute Hope curates a collection of breathtakingly beautiful gift boxes that give a portion of proceeds back to charities. I mean it when I say I haven’t seen a prettier collection of gift boxes anywhere. The contents, the packaging, the attention to detail are all impeccable. If you’re seeking a gift for a birthday, Valentine’s day, bridal shower, anniversary, or any other special event, be sure to check out the stunning collection at Haute Hope. You can also follow all the loveliness on Instagram.

3) Our weather is still a bit cold, but warmer days are on the way, and nothing puts me in the mood for spring like tulips. I picked up several pots of tulips at my local Trader Joe’s last week for a mere $2.99! That’s less than a latte, and the joy they will bring will last so much longer. If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, hop in and snag some!

4) This gorgeous print designed by Jenn Sprinkle features the theme verse for IF: Gathering 2015. At just $12, the gold-foil art piece is a lovely way to put scripture on your walls. And speaking of IF, are you going? I‘m so sad that I can’t attend the much-anticipated event this weekend (I mean … I’m really bummed). Some family circumstances have prevented that from happening. However, you can bet I’ll be following along on the Live Stream. You should too; With names like Jennie Allen, Lauren Chandler, Jen Hatmaker, Ann Voskamp, and more, you know there’s going to be some anointed teaching! 

That’s all for this first installment of F&C’s Friday Favorites. Have a blessed weekend, friends!

Hey friends! If you’re an audio book fan, “When Mo Hey friends! If you’re an audio book fan, “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” is available on Audible and Spotify! It’s a bit surreal to listen to your words being read out loud by someone else, but I can honestly say the narrator did a beautiful job! 

Go grab the audio book if that’s your jam and share with others who may prefer to listen to their books! ❤️❤️❤️

Get “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” wherever books and audiobooks are sold!

“When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” released “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” released into the world today. In the quiet of an average Tuesday. In the midst of dentist appointments and homework and Spring rains that fell onto the pavement and pooled before running off in rivulets. 

All these words that I’ve poured onto pages, this message I’ve lived for the past 18 years, the expression of abundant grace poured out to me that I now pour out to you slowly started to show up in mailboxes and on front porches across the nation. 

I saw some of your pics. Smiling faces with my cover in your hands. A real tangible book clasped between your fingers! Words can’t express what a privilege it is to see those pictures and to know that you will be cracking the spine, unpacking all I’ve packed into those pages. It’s an honor.

It’s also immensely humbling. I do not take this opportunity lightly. Your time is valuable. Your resources are limited. Your heart is precious. And the fact that you’ve chosen to give me just a bit of that, to sit with my words when you could choose to do something else is an immense gift. 

To all who’ve purchased the book, I hope you find hope and encouragement. I hope you feel seen and understood. I hope you walk away with a purposed vision of motherhood that is more beautiful than anything you could have ever imagined. But more than anything, I hope you come face to face with Jesus and find yourself undone at the depths of love He has for you. If you do that, then I’ve done my job well. 

If you haven’t purchased your copy yet (it makes a wonderful gift for all the moms in your life), the book is available wherever books are sold, including Amazon: https://a.co/d/03RnNGvn

Happy launch day, friends! It’s been an honor to share it with you!

I am convinced one of a mom’s greatest joys is the I am convinced one of a mom’s greatest joys is the chance to watch her children press into and express their giftings. Our middle daughter has always been our artist, and recently she has begun pencil sketching. Her creations are so beautiful, I commissioned her to make some drawings for our playroom. If you love her work as well, leave a comment and let me know! Perhaps she’ll show up here a bit more. 🖌️
