Bravo… you’re here! Welcome to my cottage. xoxo
I’m Kristy- owner + editor of the blog you’re reading right now.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Quick introduction:
I’m a pastor’s wife + homeschooling mom. I live with my husband + five kids (+ a very spoiled Australian Shepherd) on a two-acre hobby farm in North Texas.
When I’m not homeschooling my kids or trying to keep my house clean, you’ll usually find me lost in a pile of books or typing a million-words-per-hour (I do loving blogging).
In 2007, I launched this lifestyle blog and began writing about things like
parenting + modern homemaking,
cultivating a growth mindset + tips for dressing well.

I love people but I’m a huge introvert. (An INTJ female… say no more.)
My love language is acts of service so I’m at my best when I can serve well behind the scenes… or behind a computer screen. xoxo
I like creating things + solving problems, so you’ll find lots of freebies on this blog. –>
Usually some sort of list or guide.

I’ll send you my 7 Surprising Habits of Productive Women. Plus you’ll have access to subscriber-only content throughout the year via my weekly-ish newsletter, Weekend Reads. xoxo
Inspiring other women to live well is my passion. I hope that something you find here encourages you to read a little more, dress up just a bit, and embrace excellence as a friend.
I’ve adopted a Scripture as a blogging mantra:
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”
Philippians 1:9-11, ESV
Thanks for being here + for being open to a lifestyle of growth + learning.
I look forward to getting to know you better!
Here’s to living well- xoxo, Kristy
