Happy Christmas week, friends! As the pace finally slows and we soak up these cozy days with the people we love most, I wanted to pause and say thank you. For your encouragement, your thoughtful messages, and for showing up hereโIโm endlessly grateful you choose to spend a little of your time in my corner of the internet.
This community has carried me through more seasons than I can countโholding space for the hard moments and celebrating the joyful ones right alongside me. Youโve shown up with so much grace and kindness, and my mama heart will always be thankful for that. I hope you feel the same love and encouragement from me, and know that I pray for this community often.
I wish I could send each of you a handwritten card and the longest, most uncomfortably sincere hugโbut for now, please know how deeply appreciated and loved you are. From our home to yours, wishing you a Christmas filled with peace, warmth, and time well spent with the ones you love.



I love these precious people so much and am beyond proud of the strength, resilience, and growth they continue to show. I plan to soak in every moment of the break with them, and I hope your holiday is full of love, merriment, and magic! From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, lovebugs!




This post! Oh, what fun! Thank you SP’s for all the fun, cool, interesting, useful/helpful things you find for us.
May Sloan (Little Miss, -sorry!-) find great mentors in her nursing profession. Like my nurse neighbor, so sweet and kind and smart. She was born to be a nurse!
And Jackson, may he find great friends, and interesting work in his field. And to all the awesome SPs, Merry Christmas and a New Year full of good news, good times w/good friends! -XO.
