The Value of Making Small Changes

Today I'm over at Keeper of the Home sharing about the value of taking baby steps, making small changes that add up to big overall change in your life.  Please stop by and check it out! 

Here's a little excerpt from the post:

If there's anything you should know about me, it's that I'm all about taking baby steps.  Most of the changes that we have made in our lives and around our home, have been made by making small changes that add up to much bigger overall change in our lives.

Sometimes I wish I was one of those people that dove head first into something and went all out, changing everything seemingly overnight, but that's just not really practical or possible for me and my family in this season of life.  I’m thinking that’s probably true for many of you too.

What holds us back from making really big, quick changes?

Head on over to Keeper of the Home to read the rest!

And we're leaving tomorrow morning to spend an extended weekend with some great friends we haven't seen in a while.  We're super excited to get away, have a little family vacation, and have a good time with great friends.  Not so excited about the 6+ hour road trip with two little ones, but it's all good! So, I'll be back next week as we get ready for the big move! Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Questions to Ask at the Farmer's Market

Today I'm at Keeper of the Home talking about what kinds of questions to ask the farmers and vendors at your local farmer's market.

Here's an excerpt from the post:

I was a little overwhelmed the first time that I walked through. Which vendors are the best to buy from?  Why is there a booth with cheap sunglasses at the farmer’s market? Why does that produce stand have bananas? How do I know where and how these tomatoes, or corn, or apples, are grown?  And then my mom came to visit one weekend and I took her to the market with me and watched and listened and learned, all over again.

 So head on over to Keeper of the Home today and read my tips and ideas for getting the most out of the offerings at your local farmer's market.

Creating Routine with Little Ones

I am excited to share my first post as a contributing writer for Keeper of the Home - Creating Routines with Little Ones.  When Stephanie asked for contributing writers, I jumped at the chance to be able to be a part of this great blog! I so admire Stephanie and her desire to live naturally, glorify God, and serve her family.  Keeper of the Home was one of the first natural, frugal, "green" blogs that I began reading and has been a great inspiration for me on my journey.
