Yesterday, I was doing the daily readings when Psalm 139–one I’ve read/heard literally hundreds of times before–stopped me in my tracks. “O Lord, you have probed me and you know me; you know when I sit and when I stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize, with all […]

Inspiration boards used to be a Something Pretty staple. You can still find all of the wedding boards I created on this page, in fact! I love looking through them from time to time and remembering the late nights I spent in my college apartment, scrolling the pre-Pinterest internet for images to include. While I […]

I keep coming across quotes from Saints that hit me straight in the heart. One that felt so relevant to me, it almost made me laugh out loud when I read it, was this: “It is far better to do a few things well than undertake many good works and leave them half-done.” St. Francis […]

As you might have noticed, I did not even attempt to set goals for August.

This week has been full of very ordinary things: deadlines, appointments (why we scheduled five appointments in one week, I do not know!), some procrastinated chores, and, perhaps most monumentally, my first trip to Target with two kids, ha! While I don’t have anything too interesting to report to open up this post, I did […]
