Wishing You a Peaceful Thanksgiving
|
Hi friend, As Thanksgiving approaches, I wanted to pause for a moment and send you a simple note of gratitude. I’m so thankful you’re here, reading, learning, trying new things, caring for your home, and choosing a slower, more intentional way of living right alongside me. Whether you’ve been with me for years or just joined recently, your presence here truly matters. You’re the reason I get to share recipes, projects, and the heart behind living with less waste and more purpose. I hope your holiday preparations are coming together with ease (or at least with a warm drink in hand). I know this week can feel full of cooking, gathering, cleaning, and even a bit of chaos, but I also hope it’s full of meaning. May your table be abundant, may your home feel cozy, and may you find a few quiet moments to breathe and savor. Thank you for being part of this community. Thank you for showing up with curiosity and courage. I’m grateful for you in more ways than you know. Wishing you a truly beautiful Thanksgiving, P.S. I know I don't email much these days, but join me on Facebook as I share candid, real-time moments a bit more often. A few easy recipes that might be helpful this holiday: |

I wrote a deeper reflection on spring over on Substack this week. This is where I write more personally about home, intention, food, stewardship, and the deeper why behind this lifestyle. Here’s a small snippet from that post: As the days lengthen and the earth wakes from its winter retreat, the arrival of...
It's the equinox, friends! Are we ready for the shift? I am and sort of not. Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, and the equinox marks the start of it. So that's great. The darker mornings are a bit harder for me to get going, but the early evenings are the BEST! My husband doesn't understand me when I say that it should always be dark by 9 pm. Who is with me?? I love the way God designed the earth with these built-in rhythms. The darker and cooler season calls for cozy sweaters,...
