Homestead Mini-update

Posted on by Eden

I'm cutting back to the bare essentials! Here's the condensed version of what is happening with us in this season. We have a baby due in 15 more weeks, which means (based on history/experience) we have a baby coming in 12 weeks. I've been struggling through some depression and anxiety, some of it warranted, some … Continue reading Homestead Mini-update

Thoughts on a Season of Floundering

Posted on by Eden

This is and has been a weird and floundering season for our family. By floundering, I mean metaphorically flopping about in everything we're doing, trying to gain sure footing and stability. These seasons, so I'm told, come and go. I have been blessed to see evidence of this abound recently as many of the voices … Continue reading Thoughts on a Season of Floundering

Homestead Update: Big Changes!

Posted on by Eden

I have been praying for a long time about what I'm about to share, and it finally seems the time to move forward with it. We're moving!!! The blog, that is.

And "thank goodness … Continue reading Pre-Baby Inventory/ Mom-ing Goals

Quick Projects

Posted on by Eden

So my pre-baby checklist includes a lot of things my husband will probably deem frivolous and unnecessary, so I'm doing them myself. In fact, they are neither frivolous, nor unnecessary, but rather multifunctional in saving my sanity as well as bringing order and beauty to various spaces in our home. First up was cleaning out … Continue reading Quick Projects

Padding: A Remedy for Disorganization

Posted on by Eden

I was reading an article on the New England Patriot's "secret art of padding" (though I caren't one iota for the Patriots, or the NFL) today, and it suddenly occurred to me how little I know about what's going on in my home, when it needs to get done, and who needs to do it. … Continue reading Padding: A Remedy for Disorganization
