The days feel long, but man, the months are flying by. We are entering into our last week of April and I sit here asking myself the same question that my parents asked a couple of days ago, “What’s new Madeline?” When they asked me I sort of paused and then answered, nothing really – I’m…… Continue reading Tick Tock
Jazzy Monday
Today I discovered – That if I breath through my nose more while running then I will swallow less bugs. That my crock pot is worth way more than the $30 plus shipping that I spent on it when I came home to the most divine smell this evening. I ate dinner within 15 minutes of…… Continue reading Jazzy Monday
Birthday vs. Crockpot (Which is Better?)
Tuesday April 12th has been a kick ass day. Mostly because it’s my sister Anna’s birthday, and a little bit because I bought a crockpot. I’m currently taking suggestions for the best crockpot recipes you have because the possibilities are endless, and in case you were wondering… I’m drooling with anticipation. Most nights I don’t eat…… Continue reading Birthday vs. Crockpot (Which is Better?)
A Box of Chocolates
You know, “My Mama always said – Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get”. Except, who doesn’t love the boxes of chocolate that come with a little map to what kinds each are? One little lid holds all of the answers to life’s possible outcomes with locations…… Continue reading A Box of Chocolates
Freedom on a Saturday
My thoughts on this guilt-free Saturday – 1. I LOVE sleeping in. I lazily woke up at 11 am to hear my neighbors wind chime echoing in the breeze *magic* I walked to a local coffee shop, ordered a tea, and enjoyed the moment. There was an adorable puppy playing tricks, students studying, a new…… Continue reading Freedom on a Saturday
Green Thumb
“Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith” – Elisabeth Elliot Spring is a time of new; a time to rejoice in fresh growth. It’s a time when things wake up from their wintry slumber and burst forth into the world – “Helloooo I’m here”. If you take a moment to peruse my…… Continue reading Green Thumb
Big Spoon, Little Spoon
I have a confession to make. I’m in a blog writing slump. I’m 8 posts, 1 page, 10 comments, and 2 months along in this journey of finding grace within my everyday life and I’ve become stuck. Each week it takes me a little bit longer to decide on something to write about, and it takes…… Continue reading Big Spoon, Little Spoon
I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
– Rest – What does it mean to rest? What does it look like to take a moment to pause and slow down? These questions have been tugging at my heart the last few days as I headed into my weekend – the first weekend in a while that I didn’t have visitors or was…… Continue reading I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
So Worth Loving
3, 2, 1 Go – Four little words that cause my palms to sweat, my pulse to quicken, and my muscles to tense up. When the clock beeps it’s go time and I start moving towards the goal of the day – rounds, reps, time, or just plain finishing. Though I have many…… Continue reading So Worth Loving
The Bigger the Hoops
Whoever coined the term “Hotlanta” must have left right after August because as I was sitting in my living room writing this I was surrounded by a pile of all the blankets I own and the thermometer read 21 degrees. Not. Hot. It would probably help if the heater in my apartment wasn’t quite so old…… Continue reading The Bigger the Hoops
