today

What we planned for Mother’s Day: church, 1st service, where I would watch a touching slideshow honoring the moms who had babies this year (including me) brunch at my favorite local spot, Swami’s Cafe a walk by the beach, or if nice enough, an afternoon at the beach a delicious dinner of rotisserie chicken (from [...]

A tool for satisfying the ultimate craving…

This is what real community looks like…

by gidget gratitude

I’m working my way through a shoulder injury. It’s really hard to “rest” a shoulder when you have a nursing 10-month old and a beefy 2-year old. That little injury has done some good though. It has enabled me to receive some amazing little (and not-so-little) gifts and glimpses of what real community looks like. [...]

From Organic to Homemade and more…

by gidget writing & blogging

I’m so excited to announce that Simple Organic is now Simple Homemade! The new branding is such a good fit for me as editor and although we won’t be veering away from green/natural living at all, we’ll be adding more of the DIY/crafty/homemade stuff that I love. I spoke about this a bit in the [...]

I have this friend. She lives a half a country away now, although she used to be just a few minutes away. And we were never that close when she lived here, although I’ve always admired her as a mama and been encouraged by her faith. She is the type of person that you can’t [...]

Can I Get an Amen?

by gidget faith

A friend posted this quote on Facebook that she found in her BSF Bible study on Acts. Boy did I need to read it. “Let us not pray for easier lives but for greater power to bring blessing out of every pressure and trial.” Add to that this verse in Isaiah (40:11)…. He will tend [...]

Lately… {on simplifying in the New Year}

by gidget family

We’ve been struggling a lot with Gigi the last couple of months. Mainly through the hustle, bustle and excitement of the holidays, but even since then, we’ve been seeing some behavioral and anger issues in her that we want to start working though now, so as to hopefully prevent the development of a pattern in [...]

Taking a Breath Before Christmas

by gidget faith

Just wanted to share one of my current favorite passages. On the rare morning, like this one, where after a rough night with little sleep, the babies are sleeping in {thank you, Lord}. I open my Bible and I consider reading ahead in John, the book I’m studying in CBS and at church… but then, [...]
