Stack the Stones
Over the summer we took a trip up to Albuquerque to see the Naturopath that helped us get pregnant with Emmy years ago. It was a strange experience, being back in that place. The first time we went we had a... "memorable" experience to say the least, something we...
Global Handmade
I often wonder what it would be like to go back in time and tell my old self to calm the heck down. All the things I worried about, knowing how they've resolved and turned out now, I wonder if it would help or not. I've been a little MIA on the blog this past year, I...
Rats + Seeds
I've mentioned before that I don't quite know how to write about infertility. I've tried a million times, but it always comes across super bitter, angry, or way too medical. It's a difficult thing to wrap your head around, let alone invite others into the process with...
Beauty in the Breaking
Nathan is Best Man material. I say this because he has been in two weddings so far, and has been the Best Man in each. He's also the Best Man for a wedding this upcoming June. So, Best Man x 3. He's not the type to have a thousand acquaintances; he has a few...
Stitching
I have no problem in admitting that I struggle with contentment. NONE. I feel like, why deny the facts? Contentment is a struggle for practically every person I know, so why not just come clean about it? This contentment struggle goes deep, into every area of my life...
33 Things
Last year, I wrote this post on 32 things I was thankful for, and I've been thinking about it lately. I may have accidentally created a birthday tradition that is deeply meaningful to me, so why not carry it on? 2018 was... rough for us. There were some really low...
Eight Down
Nathan and I got married on a snowy day eight years ago... yesterday. It was crazy that it was snowing- we maybe get one snow day a year on the reg down here. And that year, it just happened to be our day. It was special, but like we weren't prepared AT ALL, and my...
Joyful & Triumphant
Oh, Christmas. You beautiful/stressful/joyful/memory making time, you. We're 7 days away from Christmas today, and I know that because Ella has been overly attentive to her "countdown chain" since December 1st. Somehow my house is quiet, and the stars aligned for me...
You’re Going To Win
I should mention that I wrote this about a year and a half ago. But since my brain is mush lately, when I found it I was like, "YAAAS. Thank you, old Erica, for saving my lazy BEhind today." Psalm 27:13-14 (NLT) Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s...
Thankful Tree Craft Day
There are few things that bring my soul joy like Craft Day. For the past few years, my tribe and I have gathered for treats and fellowship in my living room, to create and laugh together. IT'S THE BEST. We recently gathered to make Thankful Tree centerpieces, and I...
