Each fall and winter I try to put my garden “to bed” before the weeds get too bad. I was late getting to it this year, but it doesn’t matter that much as we don’t have to rush to beat snow. Here’s how I do it. Here’s how the east part of our garden looked…
I started officially tracking habits in 2014 in my very first bullet journal. Since that time, I’ve been tracking habits just about every month (but that doesn’t mean I’ve been DOING the habits, just planning them, hoping I can mostly do them) because I know how much better I do at staying on top of…
This year I purchased a Hobonichi Techo Mega Weeks planner to use as my garden planner/journal. It’s a spendy planner, but I really like how they’re laid out. I’ve been using a Hobonichi Cousin planner for 3 years now and love it, so I thought I’d give the Weeks planner a try too. (There are…
As I said in my previous post, this year will have some twists and turns as we care for my mother-in-law as she heads home to be with her Savior. We don’t have a estimated timeline, it could be a ways out there still, and that is why I am holding these goals loosely. If…
I am working on my 2025 goals and will share them next week, but thought first we might need to catch up a bit. 2024 was a good but hard year and I was pretty quiet here on the blog. In January 2024 my father-in-law died and my mother-in-law was a widow for the second…
Happy New Year! I’ve decided to continue the prayer booklet printables this year, and have your January one ready! As I make these, I’m tweaking them a little to make them even more useful. Each half page printable includes areas for gratitude, specific prayer categories, and self examination questions from an old book from the…
I’m late, but I got a December prayer printable worked up for you! This month’s printable combines a prayer journal with a self-examination focus. The Sunday challenge on the back is different this month too, with a weekly check-in! You can print your file off for free by clicking the picture above. I hope you…
I had such good feedback from you about the October prayer printable, so I made a November one for you and will make a December one too! The front of this printable has a self-examination question on the front (from an 1800’s book) and a lot of space for tracking what you are thankful for….
Marginalia: plural noun: notes or embellishments in the margin of a book. I’m still slowly reading through Susan Allibone’s memoir. This time through I’m color coding specific topics that she writes about (self-examination is purple). I absolutely love this excerpt in a letter to her dear friend and had to share it with you. Susan…
I’ve been discipling a college student for the last few years and we were discussing our morning routines. She had been doing great for several months, but when she got sick, she wasn’t able to keep up on her full morning routine and she felt like a failure. We talked about how that happens to…
