This picture is me. Yes, you heard that right, I am this picture. Ok, technically I am in the reflection of the window, you got me there, but I am claiming that the stripped down, emptied out, vulnerable room you see, is in fact a very raw look into my life. The Room. Before I go off, spilling out my heart and what I am
This week holds the very first official day of Fall and to celebrate I am sipping on a latte, wearing one of my favorite fall jackets and sitting in the corner of a coffee shop with my favorite guy. Even though fall technically starts this week, I have been embracing and anticipating this fall season now for several weeks. Yes, I am keenly aware that
It was 6:10 and I was standing in the Olsen’s kitchen making dinner. (We are staying with their 3 little munchkins this weekend so mommy and daddy can get some MUCH deserved R&R) so there I was trying to spell the word Michigan out to Emme, as she wanted to surprise Mr. Chase with a U of M flag on her coloring page…my phone began
Hello! Welcome friend, come on in, sit down and get cozy…it sure is a winter wonderland out there! Today I just needed to write. About anything really. In fact I opened up this page a few different times, but after pondering and debating what post from (the hundreds) mixing about in my head, I busied myself with other household tasks.

Overflowing,
Life just doesn’t slow down, does it? The concept of time has always been a fascination of mine. How can something so consistent, often feel like it speeds up or slows down at a moments notice?

One of the things that I absolutely Love, and look forward to, as a Michigander is the changing seasons. There is just something about knowing that a new season will come (sometimes slower than expected) that lifts my spirits and gives me the gumption to push through the winter blahs.

Today is one of those days… I don’t mean the kind of day when everything seems to be going wrong, or one of those days when I am OVER joyed about some special event coming up. No, today is one of those days where I am thankful. As I sit here in our humble cozy home reflecting on so many of the things God has
Yes, we are fully into that time of year again, when the stores are filled with tinsel, ornaments, candy canes, Christmas trees, wreaths, and the Jolly music to boot! I do LOVE this time of year, and all of the traditions that come along with it, but a part of me dreads it when the season begins again…I am not here to point fingers at
