Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

A Friend’s Design Blog and How She Met Martha (THE Martha)

It’s been quiet over here throughout the past week and a half, so please forgive my absence! In addition to the general chaos that naturally occurs as part of life with three kids aged five and under, we’ve also had swimming lessons, VBS and the hubby out of town (he’s home now, yay!), so things have been busy. I’m in the process of trying to flesh out a regular posting schedule for my space here, but I wanted to pop in today and share some fun news from another blog.A Storied Style
My friend, Grace Mitchell, writes over at A Storied Style. She has a fantastic site full of intriguing, beautifully curated home designs, and she creates some truly inspiring home-decor tutorials. She’s also a partner at Gypsy Soul Interiors, a vintage furniture resale business. I purchased six vintage faux bois cane-back chairs from Gypsy Soul a while back, and I love them! If you’re in the DFW area, be sure to check them out.

Recently Grace traveled to the Altitude Design Summit in NYC, and while there she got the chance to meet Martha … yes, THAT Martha. She wrote a review of her experience here. So if you’re looking for a little design inspiration or a fun diversion for your Wednesday, hop over to A Storied Style. You’re likely to get immersed in her pages, so take a look, and tell her I said hello! In the meantime, I’ll be working on some original content to be posted here in a few days, so check back soon.

Until then … Have a blessed Wednesday!

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! ❤️❤️❤️

“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. 🖌️
