Coffee, Chaos, and Grace: A Season of Full Days

Some seasons arrive quietly - a slowing down, a letting go, a gentle reminder that you are no longer where you were. . .but not yet where you’re going.

God is teaching me that winter isn’t empty - it’s holy. He is at work beneath the surface. Roots grow deep. Faith stretches in the waiting.

A lyric keeps echoing in my heart::
“If you’re not done working, then God, I’m not done waiting.”

Waiting isn’t wasted. Stillness isn’t stuck. Spring is coming - and God has been preparing it all along.

Stay rooted. Stay faithful. Walk in grace while you wait. 🌿

I grew up with my traditional nativity scene - Mar

I grew up with my traditional nativity scene - Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus . . .and the wise men right there beside them. During a Biblical history class in graduate school, I learned something that completely reshaped that familiar scene for me: the wise men weren’t actually present the night Jesus was born.

The longer I reflected on that, the more it reminded me that the Christmas story has always been about God drawing people to Himself - right on time, and never a moment too late.

The wise men missed the manger, but they didn't miss the Messiah.

Some seasons are beautifully full - wedding plans, work deadlines, and endless to-do lists. But even in the busiest moments, God’s whisper reminds me: peace isn’t found in calm days, it’s found in Him.

☕️New on the blog: Coffee, Chaos & Grace
Coffee in hand. Chaos all around.
And somehow - grace in every bit of it.

The past several months have been a whirlwind - full of big changes, new beginnings, and so much grace in between. As life finally starts to slow down a bit, I've felt that gentle nudge to return to something that's always been a creative outlet for me - writing.

I'm so excited to share that my blog, Farmhouse by Design, will be relaunching very soon! This space has always been a reflection of my heart - a blend of faith and farmhouse charm. I'm especially looking forward to writing more about what God's been teaching me lately - those quiet reminders of His goodness in the midst of busy seasons and everyday life.

Stay tuned - I can't wait to invite you back into this space that's rooted in faith and designed with grace.

A winter ❄️ storm for the history books. But I could do without the sub zero wind chill! Aspen, however, loves it! ❤️❄️❤️After all, she is from Colorado! At least the sun ☀️ is out - and the snow is beautiful!!

Everyone, meet Aspen. 🐾 There is a deafening silence in a house after a pet crosses the rainbow bridge. Cocoa can never be replaced, but Aspen can carry on her legacy and is already helping the healing process.

This little one has already made the flight ✈️ from Colorado to her new home in Texas after spending a few days exploring Breckenridge with her new humans. She has already brought so much joy into the house. Her full name is Aspen Rose and she has her own Instagram @aspenroseoftexas. After only a few days with her, I am already convinced she found us when we needed her the most. ❤️🐾❤️

My sweet girl Cocoa crossed over the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge a week ago today. I didn’t know my heart could break into so many pieces. She was unwavering in her loyalty, loved fiercely and had the sweetest personality. She loved naps in the sun, barking at anything that moved, and watermelon 🍉 and never left my side!! The house is so quiet without her presence and I miss her every second of the day. She certainly had her little paws 🐾 wrapped tightly around my heart. I know she is running free and at peace. Rest easy sweet girl - you will be forever loved!! ❤️🐾❤️

Hello friends! 🌿 With the start of a new year I wa

Hello friends! 🌿 With the start of a new year I wanted to refresh the guest bedroom. I am so excited to add this gorgeous quilt and blanket from @kirklands to this space! I have never used blue in my decor, but I’m obsessed with the farmhouse touch it adds to this room. The quality of the quilt and shams is amazing and the blanket is as soft as it is beautiful. In fact, I might just have to steal this look for the master bedroom now, too!
.
Kirkland’s has introduced some incredible new products for the home and, as always, the price point is so affordable. If you’re looking to refresh a space in your home for the new year, or simply add a few new stylish pieces to your home, then be sure to check out Kirkland’s and the new items they have to offer.
