In my own personal effort to live more ethically, I've been introduced to so many people & brands that support living more slowly. It's through the Lady Farmer that I have been inspired to cultivate a more sustainable and simplistic home now. Earlier this year, I was approached by Mary from The Lady Farmer and [...]

Finished Reading: The White Devil’s Daughters by Julia Flynn Siler

Finished Reading: I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) a guide to grace-filled political conversations
I am guilty of not talking politics with those that disagree with my perspective. Mostly because my opinion on government and politics differs wildly from the people I hold most dear, my family. I admit to blocking and unfollowing A LOT of people since the election, and if we are being honest since before the [...]
Finished Reading: The Ministry of Ordinary Places by Shannan Martin
Shannan's book The Ministry of Ordinary Places shines a light on the unglamorous ministry of living life as a Christian where you are.
