faith, Gathered thoughts, Goals


One of my favorite things this fall season 🍂 

This beautiful journal. It’s been a great addition to my quiet time . It invites me to write scripture, share my thoughts and write out a prayer each time I open it up. 

.

Journaling has always been a struggle to me , but there is something freeing when I do. It almost feels as though it empties all my thoughts and allows me to refresh. 

.

Ofcourse, the best part is being able to go back and read how God was working and moving in that season .

Welcome October


Hello October 🍁

.

It’s been a bit since I have posted . Life and everything inbetween has happened the last few months and I needed to  just focus on God and my Family.

.

One of the things I have learned over the last few months, is it’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to show I don’t have it together . There were moments of meeting with a friend , that my heart was so heavy I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes. I’m thankful,so thankful, for those friends who stopped to pray and didn’t push for answers . Sometimes,just sitting with a friend in their mess is exactly what they need. 

.

Another thing I learned was that I can only do so much. As much as I would love to be Wonder Woman and have eight arms to do everything ,I am not. Ofcourse , trying to reconcile that with my type A attitude was the hardest.To do what I can do to the fullest each day and let everything else fall away meant there where times the list didn’t get done. The dishes were left in the sink , we had cereal for dinner or the project got put on hold. It was uncomfortable but guess what it was OK. 

.

It did help me appreciate each new morning . New day , new opportunities. Appreciate the power of prayer and friends that have walked with my family . 

.

No matter where you find yourself on this October day .. I pray that you will be able to live today to the fullest, let go of what needs to be let go of and  connect with a friend. Life is so much better when we share it with others 🍁

Clamming Adventure

We recently met up with friends who taught us how to do clamming.
.
It’s pretty amazing that you can go out and use these suction rockets and find clams.
.
We lasted maybe 10 minutes in the wind and rain before we were ready to head back but bucket list item crossed off! Yay!!

Blue Rooster ~Buckley, Wa

You need to add the @blue_rooster_buckley to your must try list when passing through @explore_washington.state .

.

It is family owned and has some of the best small plates and wine slushies in the area.

Our favorites were the Bbq Brisket Flatbread and the Avocado Toast ..seriously some of the best small bites in Washington State.
.
We tried a little of everything and it was all amazing! The most unique item we tried was the watermelon fudge.It was a huge hit with our kids!

The cheesecake was well plated and sooo good! And the wine slushy was amazing and totally refreshing.


The owners have a love of Disney and you see it sprinkled throughout which is another reason we love @blue_rooster_buckley

.

This is the perfect date spot or to share a lunch with some girlfriends.
