Month: December 2025

So cheers to building stronger support systems. Cheers to supporting those loved ones around you. Cheers to letting go. Cheers to being brave. Cheers to 2026!  

I just want to give a well-deserved thank you to American farmers and ranchers.

Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus, born in a barn. It was a humble beginning.

As I sit down at the end of a very long day, 

I decided to let Santa know what this ranch wife had to say. 

We are blessed to live this way. We are blessed to see the Lord all around us. And I hope we all never lose sight of all that we are given 364 days a year, in addition to Christmas day! 

Just knowing that we have made the turn and are headed towards longer days, even if it is for a mere few minutes a day is just the physiological boost we need. 

Maybe it is my sentimental heart or my longing to hold tight to past traditions, but I still love the idea of baking Christmas cookies to share with those we love and adore.

Lately, I have felt the pull to become more grounded and settled, which with four busy kids under my roof, seems like this would be a pretty unlikely time to slow down.
