Happy Monday Friends!
This weekend was full of family time and that always makes my heart feel so full! We spent most of the day Saturday painting the Master Bedroom at Ocean Shade as we’re hoping to get that room looking 10x better come summer season! Sunday I went to church and we started a new series on marriage that was SUCH a good heart check. We then celebrated my grandmothers 80th birthday over at my Aunt’s house and the theme was casseroles since my grandmother LOVES casseroles; y’all, it was so dang tasty!


This blog world has changed A LOT over the years and I have seen the spirit of community start to fizzle out and it makes me a little sad. So today I wanted to share some recent blogs I’ve found, or ones I’ve been reading for years, to help you find some great new stories to read! Some blogs are faith based, lifestyle, fashion, home, etc….I love reading it all and getting small glimpses into the lives we each live!

ALSO I’m always on the hunt for new blogs to read so if you have some favorites please share them with me in the comments, seriously I want to read them! <3


PS – this is truly such a small list of blogs I read on the daily (I think I’m subscribed to over 100 blogs on Bloglovin). AND If you’re looking for an EASY WAY to follow all the blogs, or even mind, Bloglovin is such a user friendly platform and so organized!
You can follow mine here!


Within The Grove

I actually started following Elizabeth & Ryan on Instagram and then strolled over to their blog. Their feed / blog is full of beautiful home DIY inspiration that will just make you want to curl up on their couch (in a non-creepy way), or do ALL THE THINGS in your own home! I really loved their latest post on the DIY Plywood Desk (I was following along on Instagram) and I would LOVE to make it!


In Its Time

Kiki is such a beautiful soul.
I love her authentic posts that are full of daily joys, struggles, lessons, and challenges. The girl is grounded and I am so blessed to call her a friend. <3
PS – Her latest post on “Finding Joy” is such a good read!


Local Coastal

I can’t remember how I found Kelsey’s blog but I’m so happy I did! She has that New England vibe that I fell in love with when I lived in Kittery, Maine.


Sweet & Savage Life

I met Jennifer at a blog conference when I was living in San Diego. We sat next to each other and soaked in ALL THIS INFORMATION. She has such kind spirit and a passion for sharing her story! I also LOVE her Fit Friday series! <3


Cottonwood Shanty

I found Alyssa from one of her pet squirrel posts on instagram. YUP, Douglas Eliot is the cutest! She sells these stunning scrolls for your home and I want to buy them all. PLUS she is currently renovating a brick and mortar shop for her products and I’m LOVING the progress!


Oak & Oats

Beth is one of my besties via blog world! We’ve been in this space for many years and I am so happy to call her one of my good friends! I actually was able to go out to CO to visit her & Meg & Sam (who came too!) and we had a girls trip! I am HOPING to get back out to Colorado soon for sweet Megan’s wedding! <3 <3 <3

Instagram post 2197390776340968960_32408268 I've shared all my Christmas decorations on the blog today!
🌲
This time of year is always so cozy and brings a sense of nostalgia that makes my heart happy. ❤
I'm constantly reminded of the grace and mercy of Jesus during this season too. I want it to be a time where I focus on the good and not the overwhelming. .

Instagram post 2196721105837157974_32408268 This is Oliver. 👋🏻
He was in my grandmother's home (dads side) for many years and after she passed he went to my brothers house and now he resides with me!
💫
He is a homage to a Rembrandt portrait that was bought in Palo Alto California from an artist selling at a street market and he just makes perfect sense in our space.
🤗
What are some of favorite things that have been handed down through family?

Instagram post 2195874940329614162_32408268 If you've been wanting an honest and raw outlook of where I'm at in life right now...then my blog post is for you today. 👍🏻
Really the blog post was for me. I have been doing some reflection the last few days and have had a few AH-HA moments that have left me having to process a lot and recognize that I've got some changes to make. 🙃
In the past when change came for me I withered away into a "I don't want to face this" shell. Over the last few years I've seen how change is hard but it can bring so much good if we have the right perspective and pivot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Instagram post 2195171605100239492_32408268 I'm needing a little pick-me-up this Monday. I spent the weekend curled up on the couch attempting to rest and let my body get ahead (& recover) from this cold that came out of no where. 🙄
I also went to the doctor last week and I found out that this whole hip pain is actually Trochanteric Bursitis and the only thing I can do to work through it is rest, ice, anti inflammatories, and no hard workouts. It's going to be super hard for me to not workout like I am used to for the next 4-6 weeks. I am having to pause, pivot, and approach my fitness and weight loss journey a little differently during this season.
💫

Instagram post 2192945577606881892_32408268 Coffee + Books is the perfect morning routine (#ad).
☕
I've been spending my Saturday mornings in a slow routine of making some french press @officialmaxwellhouse coffee and sipping on that delicious warmth (y'all the smooth bold is my favorite right now!). I've also been reading through the newest illustrated HP book the husband got me for my birthday.
⚡
What is your winter weekend routine? I want to hear all about it.

Instagram post 2192362811714493448_32408268 This was 3 days before we packed up our entire house to move everything across the country last year.
🌲
It had been so long since I decorated for Christmas that I actually jumped for joy when I got my hands on this tiny baby tree to pretend like I was doing all the Christmas things.
🤷🏻‍♀️
What little things do you do during this season that brings you joy? This was definitely one of those joyful moments!

Instagram post 2191523655560054651_32408268 I can't wait for next year when Eddie & I are not only able to walk through an Advent devotional but can also light the weekly candles! 🕯
It's a tradition my family did growing up and I LOVED having that devotional time with my mom, dad, & brother around the kitchen table and lighting each candle while learning the reason for the season we're in. 🙏🏻
Seriously, I'm craving that married time where we can strengthen each other and pour into one another.

Instagram post 2190778557360554724_32408268 Dreaming of slow evenings snacking on some gingerbread with the glorious glow of Christmas lights. 🌲
I seriously love this time of the year. It's a mixture of slowing down and speeding up that brings this excitement you just can't predict. 💫
This week is full of lots of to-dos, multiple appointments, and trying to find balance between it all. What is your week looking like? .
