Life Lately

Happy birthday to this cutie! Someone please explain how my youngest is 11!!

This weekend’s family project: some new bookshelves for my bedroom alcove. I’m here to report that staining is harder than it looks and I never want to do it again. It took four of us applying stain at the same time to get these looking decent.

Making signs for Aunt Sarah as she gets out of the hospital today. We love you @sarebearlyons!

It’s perfectly warm. I have no idea why they decided to swim in wetsuits but they are getting along so whatever.

(We do need to be protesting. But it’s not this.)

My dear friend @JenHatmaker’s book launches today and I cannot say enough about it. Women . . . you want this book. It speaks to finding freedom from the pressures to conform, to shrink, to people-please, and to perform. It will inspire you, and push you in the best of ways. https://amzn.to/3eGYxu4 #FierceFreeFire

Karis, pretending to be me reading my audiobook. As overwhelming as it has been to record at home, it’s been cool for my kids to see what I do beyond “mommy typing on a computer all day.”

I’m recording my audiobook in a fort in my bedroom made of soundproofing blankets and that feels on-brand for this book and my whole life, really . . .
