Since the beginning of this year, I’ve not only been off social media but I’m basically off my phone, I haven’t picked up a book or listened to many podcasts. It’s a year of no traveling for our little fam and I’m not producing a whole lot either — very few blog posts and podcast episodes have been written and released (as in this is my first blog post since January and I actually published it in July). My word for 2024 is peace. And instead of filling my days researching and reading about the meaning and history of the word peace, I’ve simply been experiencing peace in my day-to-day. We’re truly living the “slow” life I know we were created to live.
Life outside of our home seems like it’s passing by, and not in a we’re-missing-out-on-everything kind of way, but in a “this is right where we’re meant to be” kind of way. We’ve been falling in love with our home again as we continue to do simple updates and renovations, we have continued hosting family members and friends, we’re keeping up with homeschool and we started prepping for Spring — wrapping up homeschool and gardening. Here are lotsa photos of what we’ve been up to, enjoy the scroll!
