5 of my favorite fun, feel-good books.

Today I want to focus on feel-good books. Books that you read when you’re down, tired, needing a laugh. There are so many great books out there, but there are a few I come back…

Late harvest goodness. Late harvest goodness.
Two weeks with my sweet baby girl. Two weeks with my sweet baby girl.
Little Miss Miriel came into our world on Friday e Little Miss Miriel came into our world on Friday evening, August 12. She is perfect and beautiful, and we are so excited to have our daughter. We are soaking in all the cuddles and loving the time adjusting to be a family of 3.
Sweet husband. I could brag on him all day. This Sweet husband. I could brag on him all day. This photo is from a few weeks ago, helping me clear the garden of weeds and dead hail-flattened plants. Then re-planting my peppers as I sat in a chair nearby, too tired to do it myself. Later, helping me finish more projects that had been started in a long-gone energetic mood. Slow dancing with me in the kitchen. Singing to our child in my belly. This man who has held me through every day of morning sickness. Who carried me from room to room when I was too weak to walk. Who spreads lotion on my stretching skin every night. Who supports me, encourages me, and makes me laugh every step of the way. Not just in this new phase, but through each phase of life together. There's so much more I could say, about all the ways Caleb shows love every day. Happy birthday sweetheart. Thank you for all you do for me, and for our family. I can't wait to see you holding our little one in your arms.
So excited and so close to meeting our little one. So excited and so close to meeting our little one. It's baby month!
We were up half the night moving things away from We were up half the night moving things away from broken windows and cleaning up the water on the floor. We wanted to get as much cleaned up as was possible the next day. Instead, exhausted, we fell asleep on the couch. By the end of the day, even though we had cleaned up the loose glass, swept inside, and sealed the windows that had broken all the way through, it still feels like there's too much to do, so where do we "start"? We had just gotten to a point where our house was mostly put together and we were starting to work on new projects - namely, the nursery. Now, it feels as if our house is turned upside down again. Every window on the back of our house is broken, and a couple of side windows. Thankfully, only two of them broke all the way through. The others, only the outside pane of glass is shattered. I can't even look at our once-thriving garden. What was supposed to be our first garden, carefully tilled and planted this spring, now completely obliterated. And yet, our glass patio table that we just got last week (and that Caleb ran out and covered with a rug after miraculously not breaking from the first round of hail) is unbroken. Our big picture window and stained glass windows on the front of the house were safe from the worst of the storm, and are undamaged. Our strong roof and siding, much newer than the windows, held firmly and although there is damage, we have no leaks and no shingles or siding missing. And my herb garden on the front porch is safe and will still thrive, even with minor hail damage. ❤️ A reminder that we are not in control. But the one who is keeps us safe.
This is the summer for growing All The Things. This is the summer for growing All The Things.
