I’m Michelle and I am so happy that you are here. I hope you find inspiration, resources, and feel refreshed in your journey to the glory of God through this blog. My hope is that you can brew yourself a cup of coffee or tea and stay awhile. Pretend we are on my front porch chatting (if only I HAD a front porch…)

I’m an Oregon-bred, California-dwelling girl raising 5 kiddos with the love of my life. I love Jesus and am forever grateful to have a relationship with Him. His grace is my very breath. He is so faithful. Motherhood has been the biggest assignment He has used to mold me and shape me and grow me. I love spending time with my family, coffee, gardening, reading, taking pretty photos, being out in nature, pretending we have a large farm, cooking, practicing hospitality, and learning simplicity, to live simply, and to slow down. You’ll find encouragement, ideas, and real life happenings here.
