Big Little Update ✨

Something lovely is coming! This space is growing into something new—something that brings together the art I love to make, the words I love to write, and the home I love to build. 💛

It started with an idea, back in 2010 when I first opened my Etsy storefront. Then in 2017 I realized motherhood is the journey of a lifetime, and one I could not walk alone. I realized I could write my stories down, as life became blog fodder. For years I felt like I was just the lady next door. I was a mom, but was I really ONLY a mom?

Halfway Through Advent 2020

I’ve written about Advent resources before, and social media is full of things to buy and do this time of year, so I’m sure there’s no shortage of information being thrown at you from one avenue or another. This year has been full of all different kinds of challenges due largely to the coronavirus pandemic and the ways it has changed many facets of every day life. As I was lamenting with some friends about the ways that social distancing has robbed* me of some of the joy of this season, I got to thinking about Advent.

What’s the Mission?

Hi there, I’m Caitlin: mama bear, joy-seeker, daughter of the King, and wife! I’m from upstate NY, but now we live in NC. In addition to being a stay at home mom, I’m an avid DIY crafter, volunteer, disciple, and village-builder. My mission here is to bring you some encouragement along the journey of motherhood through my faith, foibles, and failures as I bumble and stumble along the path of life as a woman, wife, and mom of little kids.
