I got up at 5:20 a.m. to go for a walk/run through town this morning with Tanner. 👟
Tanner is finishing up his junior year at Coastal Christian High School next month.
Tanner is our fiercely independent, private , scholarly 📚, soccer-playing ⚽️ , always-surfing 🏄‍♂️, son. He is our middle skittle and he is cool.

If you know me, you know I don’t “do” 5:20 unless I am catching and early flight to somewhere wonderful ✈️ 🌎- and even then, I wish I had booked the 10:00 am instead and spent the extra money 💴.

If you have a teenaged boy (or two) you know that you will “do” 5:20 if one casually mentions his morning plan and says “do you wanna come?”-
you will at your husband, a little shocked and a tad confused, but you will say “yes” (for sure) and you will set your alarm for what feels like the middle of night for your particular algorithm. ⏰ 😴

You will hate getting up and then
you will enjoy every second of the time on the path in the dark, before the chickens even wake up in your tiny town. 🐓

You will do 5:20 and enjoy 5:20 because it won’t be long before he won’t ask you to tag along (and slow him down considerably!) at 5:20.
You might even come back and scramble eggs and toast some bread for him, while he is in the shower getting ready for school. 🍳

It will be a very good morning.

You’ll do 5:20 a.m because like me, with a teenaged boy (or two) who grew really fast and went from man cubs to grown when you blinked, you just know. ⌛️🌱

You’ll do 5:20 just because you will.

You’ll do 5:20 because IYKYK. 👦 🧑‍🎓

Happy Friday. Make it count. 💙

I love Fall 🍁 🍃 🍂 and Winter ❄️ ⛄️ but this year, in this place, in this new season of life, I am looking forward to wasting less, growing more, cultivating what we can, and living out here amongst what has been here for lifetimes before ours.

This is going to be good.

I cannot wait to see what God has planned.

I am not quite sure”here” yet, but I am trying to get there…if you are close to me, remind me of this when I talk about Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, Aerie, Alter’d State, Marshalls (again, twice in one week), Homegoods, or Amazon.
🙈🙉🚫🛍️🛒

I will get there - but it won’t be easy.
I want to be happier in my skin and nest, with a lot less! 🪺

What a blessing to love where you live. Everyone cannot say that, and I don’t take it for granted.

Happy Saturday! 🍂 🍁

If you hosted, prepared food, or traveled for Thanksgiving, chances are you are a little drained this weekend! I tagged Shea so you could get in on the products I am using to get through the holidays on less sleep, a slower metabolism, and well, my late forties! Grab some Fizz for cocktails and some protein for post game day celebration 🦃🎄🎉 🏈 🥂 🔔 🎁 recovery! 🍹 🥤 💧 🍊

Christmas time came quick this year, but we’ve got this!

Let’s Go!!! 💪 🎄 🎅

This is the Election Day Sermon 2024 and, three times today it was removed (and it is only 8:10 am).

It is not rude or divisive, but very insightful for many who are choosing to sit this one out.
Don’t.
