Have you seen the new Letterpress Blocks from DaySpring? They are so fun! letter blocks

I got to choose a few of my favorite words to display around my home. It was so hard to decide!

I ended up with STAY. Joel and I have been talking about how we want to make sure we keep inviting people into our home even during this crazy time in our lives. We are so tired and overwhelmed sometimes and it would be easy to become inward focused (especially for a hermit like me). So this is such a good reminder to have around our house. We want people to come into our home, feel loved and known, and STAY awhile. Who wants to come over? IMG_3472new

I had to get a 6 too. I love having numbers around our home to represent our growing family. A simple six is a way to include Cora…and I love that.

And JOY for Christmas. So thankful that we can have true JOY in Christ no matter what the circumstances this holiday season bring.

There are a few favorite words that you can purchase as a set if you are a bad decision maker. Haha. But I love the ‘build your own word’ interactive site. It allows you to choose your letters and letter size and see how they look together. I am such a visual person so I really needed this!
