Happy International Women’s Day

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

On our recent visit to Washington DC we took a picture of this memorial of those women that served in the Vietnam War. Today seems to be the perfect day to celebrate them . May we always remember❤️

I am so thankful for the Women who have left a legacy of honor . Those that have sacrificed their safety and taken jobs to protect our country. Those that have been the anchor beside their husband. Those that are daily doing their best to be the very best they can be.

Here’s to you sweet sister whoever and wherever you are. You are unique and there is no one else like you. Happy International Women’s Day❤️

Gathered Thoughts

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

I have found this so true in my daily life. I often rush through moments or appointments just trying to get a moment of rest but as I have started to pause more and take in those around me , I have seen such a great opportunity to share kind words and a smile.
.
I found myself stepping into 2023 (on an adventure) but also contemplating my word of the year for my @cultivatewhatmatters planner. I chose Mary .
.
I am naturally geared at being a Martha , task oriented ,get the job done then we can relax . Mary’s have always intrigued me. How do you sit and chat when there’s work to do? And yet, I have found myself wanting and desiring to do this exact thing. This is the area where God is leading me and I am so wanting to grow in.
.
I want to let the dishes stay in the sink, stay up later to have a conversation with my little one or a friend ,engage in conversation with those around me .. on the plane, at the Dr office , at a museum and even the gym.
.
This quote reminds me of all of that and to treasure every moment with others that come my way ❤️

Gather 🍁

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Having an inviting table doesn’t have to be super fancy . You can take a few things to make a beautiful setting that is practical and inviting.
.
The memories , conversations , plans, school work and sharing of life that happens around a table is immeasurable. It is essentially the hub of a home. A place to gather , cry , work out life and laugh ❤️
.
I do wonder if every grain in the wood of this table could contain all of it. Would the grain lines of the wood be darker when there were years scorched by fire or hardships ,would the grain have lines wider in years being well watered and flourishing in love or have thinner lines in years of drought ? Interesting to think about what it would hold.
.
What ever season you are in , remember it’s just that a season. Take time to enjoy your family or a friend around your table. Invite them to linger and stay a little bit longer. Savor the grain lines that are forming 🍁

“she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Learning to Knit

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures


One of the reasons we ❤️homeschooling is how flexible we get to be in learning new things.
.
A sweet friend came over a few days ago to teach us to knit 🧶. She did a wonderful job of teaching us and we were all able to get a few rows completed. Yay!
.
I love that I get to learn right along with my littles. They are growing so quickly and the scales are tipping from I need a break to I want to cherish every moment 💜
