I have always been someone who runs on full throttle. I am always multitasking and checking things off my list. Sometimes that type-A mindset even spills over into my devotion time with God. There’s just always more things to do than I have time to get it done.  I have been doing my devotional time/Bible...

If you ask me for two words that define my professional career, I would probably tell you Curious and Connections. I have centered my work life around these two words for almost 11 years.

I love decorating with quilts in my home. I have our family quilts saved and displayed in my vintage pie safe. Each of these has special memories and gets rotated around on our beds and couch. Quilts are meant to be enjoyed, not just stored in totes in the basement, don’t you think? This post...

You know how sometimes the best discoveries happen when you’re not even looking for them?

Others are small details you don’t think...

There’s nothing quite like giving a thoughtful gift, especially one that is handmade. I’m always looking for easy and meaningful gifts for the people in my life. And for the book lovers like teachers, friends in a book club or Sunday School, or just the folks who love a good story—these simple bookmarks are absolutely...
