A Moment of Christmas:
25 December Devotions for Moms
It’s my prayer that we moms will make room for the peace and fullness of joy this season is meant to exude. I want my children to see me making room for Him in my inn, even amidst the to-do list.
Whether it’s at the beginning of the day (before kids and life demand) or at the end of a long day before finally collapsing into bed – whenever you take a moment for yourself, I pray you allow the peace of the season to wash over you.
Pumpkin Spice For Your Soul:
25 Devotions for Autumn
Autumn is the perfect time to take back the reins of our self-care intentions. To pause and actually care for ourselves, spending time focusing on that which truly fills our hearts and cares for our souls.
Each day includes Scripture, devotions, prayer, reflection questions to ponder throughout your day, and an “extra shot” — inspiring quotes, recipes, and fun autumn ideas — like espresso for your soul! You'll also find lined pages for your own autumn reflections, nine of Anna's favorite autumn recipes, and and a bonus devotion for the start of Advent.
It's my prayer that the pause found on these pages would help you savor this fleeting and favored season.

on losing my way & remembering my voice & why our stories matter
I've been quiet around the fence lately. My heart hasn't been able to connect with the keyboard, and I've been feeling very small in the blog world. And so I share recipes and a giveaway, which brings me joy, but I know it's not my norm and I feel that. But here's the...
on a one-skillet supper: Ham & Potato Skillet from Gooseberry Patch
Every Easter, we'd get up at the crack of dawn and dress fancy. Since mom was the choir director at church, we had to be there early early. While it felt too early to eat breakfast (you know how your stomach feels kind of sour when you're up before dawn?), we managed...

on (in)courage today: guest post for Bloom book club
I go through dozens of Grandma’s collected pieces of china, each one delicate and fine. And my mom, she had a story for each one: “Oh, that was THE candy dish! If I snuck a piece, I had to lift the silver lid just right, so it wouldn’t make any noise.” “She set out...

on Building Benches: for the mom who needs a thank you
--this is the second letter in a non-regular 'series' of letters I felt compelled to write. Some will be on friendship, others encouragement in mothering, and all will be straight from my heart to yours.-- I wish I were a more selfless girl. But the truth is, I want...
