Sometimes, the moments we need most are the ones we don’t plan. Life has a way of keeping us busy. Between work, family, responsibilities, and all the little things that seem to need our attention, our days can fill up before we even realize it. We make lists, plan our weeks, and try to fit […]
Fall Festival Season is Here!
There is something about the first Fall festival of the season that makes Fall feel official. This weekend, we made our way to the Prairie Peddler Festival, an annual event tucked away in the woods with more than 200 vendors. Even the drive there feels like part of the experience.

The Seasons of Gathering
Good Sunday morning, friends. Fall is officially here, and with it comes that familiar transition from warm summer days to cooler mornings, cozy evenings, and a slower pace of life.

Sunday Chapter: Making Room for Fall
There’s something about this time of year that always makes me stop and take notice. Summer is my favorite season with Fall a close second. Summer isn’t quite over, but you can feel the change beginning. The kids are heading back to school, mornings are a little cooler and it’s already starting to get dark […]
