Meet Me At Hobby Lobby: My New Opportunity!!

Sweet Mamas… I have some exciting news to share! Remember that “opportunity” I teased back in March that I had to be all secretive about?

Well I can finally share what it is…

I’m working with Hobby Lobby! aka...my happy place

You all know how much I love creating a warm, God-honoring home, and Hobby Lobby has been my go-to for beautiful, intentional decor, seasonal inspiration, crafting, and even little treasures for my kids. They are such a wonderful Christian company with amazing values and a commitment to Christ. I’ve had such an amazing time and getting to know them better, as well as their additional ventures, like the Museum of the Bible which I was able to visit and Mamas, let me tell you, you have to go there some day, it was such an incredible and moving experience. I’m so amazed that they’ve taken on the incredible task of collecting and preserving these sacred Christian artifacts.

But this new chapter isn’t just about Bible Museums or shopping: it’s about increasing my reach in helping you turn your home into a place of beauty, faith, and joy, just like I do! So I’ll still be sharing my favorite finds, DIY tips, and ways to create corners in your home that honor God one intentional detail at a time, but I’ll also be hosting videos and lives and directly at stores!

So get ready, Sweet Mamas…we’re going to amp up our commitment to living our best, most creative lives by bringing a little more beauty and God-Glorifying inspiration at incredible prices into our homes.

at last it all falls into place

Live, Laugh, Listen: How God Guides Us through Signs

I know I said I was going to be posting every other week from now on but…I just couldn’t help myself this week. I simply felt so inspired! And whenever I feel a strong urge to post or share something, I listen: because more often than not, the inspiration is a sign from God that whatever I have to say needs to be bestowed upon the world. Inspiration is a Calling, and we all must answer God’s Calls! He will guide us if we’re willing to Listen. And sometimes that guidance can be surprising. 

I was walking through Hobby Lobby yesterday (surprise, surprise!), and I decided to take a quick browse through my favorite section: the decorative signs. 

You know the ones: the wooden frames with soft white backgrounds and hand-lettered phrases. “Be still.” “Choose joy.” “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” “Live, Laugh, Love.” The ones that feel like little quiet reminders of truth tucked into every corner. 

First of all- I’m obsessed with how organized Hobby Lobby’s wall decor sections are. They make it so easy to find exactly the kind of style or aesthetic you’re looking for! (and every section usually features its own thematically appropriate cow picture, which of course I adore. I love cows!). I’ve always thought that organization is probably why I feel so much peace when I wander the aisles at Hobby Lobby…it feels like a deep exhale for my soul. 

But as I read sign after sign (“you will be blessed when you come in and when you come out” “it was always you” “better together” “welcome” “may your journey always lead you home” “its the little things that matter most”...) I was struck with a powerful feeling. Maybe it isn’t just the excellently curated sections, or even the amazing trendy decor and craft items at affordable prices, that make me feel so close to the Lord when I visit Hobby Lobby. 

Maybe it’s something deeper.

Maybe it’s in the signs themselves.

Maybe the signs are signs from God.

Throughout Scripture, we are shown again and again that God communicates directly with His people…but it’s not always through booming voices or burning bushes, especially not to His daughters. Sometimes His message comes in small, quiet, gentle, meaningful ways. In the book of Job, we’re told, “For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it” (Job 33:14). How often are we rushing through life, missing the quiet ways He’s trying to get our attention? How often is God trying to reach us, but we simply aren’t stopping to perceive it?

Maybe sometimes, a sign isn’t just decor.

Maybe sometimes, a sign is a sign that He’s still speaking.

Now, I’m not saying every decorative sign is a direct message from heaven. But I am saying that God, in His kindness, uses the world around us to draw our hearts back to Him and our minds back to the Truth. Psalm 19:1 tells us, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” Creation itself is a testament to His voice, so why wouldn’t He also use the small, human-made things we encounter in our daily lives?

What I love most about bringing these signs into my home, or passing through them in Hobby Lobby, is that they don’t just exist to be pretty. They may be made of wood and paint, but the words they carry are eternal. They root us. They remind us. They guide us. They point us back to our purpose. They call us.

And we must always answer God’s Calls.

Making Space for God: A Natural Approach to Spring Cleaning

There’s something so sacred about the shift into spring. The light lingers a little longer in the evenings, the air feels softer, and I find myself opening the windows just to let the breeze move through our home. It’s in these small moments that I’m reminded: our homes are not just places we live - as I always say, they are the spaces we are called to steward. As wives and mothers, are homes are how we honor God.

And with that shift into spring and that reminder of stewardship, I find myself yearning to clean, the cleanse my home from top to bottom, to scrub every inch of its walls and floors and ceilings until it shines as brightly as Heaven, until it is pure enough to be a temple worthy of honoring our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Spring Cleaning time is here mamas - but it’s not just about cleaning. It’s about renewal. It’s about rebirth. It’s about cleansing the home to cleanse the soul. It’s about eliminating the clutter that corrodes our spiritual health and blocks us from seeing and fulfilling God’s true purpose for us. Cleaning is both cleaning and a calling to something Higher.

We must clean to clear the path for the Lord to speak to us, Amen.

And it doesn’t just matter that you clean - it matters how you clean.

A Natural Approach

Do you know how many chemicals are in traditional home cleaning products?

I’ll give you a hint: it’s a LOT.

These chemicals are extremely toxic for your home and your family, but beyond that…they are MAN MADE. It will always be better to use GOD CREATED natural products in your home. 

Shifting to more natural cleaning products is a gift in a million ways: not only do I feel better about what I’m using around my children, but it also brings a sense of simplicity and intentionality to the process…and it literally brings me closer to God. 

It means I’m honoring him in every crack of my counters, in every pore of my skin.

Some of my favorite go-to staples:

• White vinegar for glass and surfaces

• Baking soda for scrubbing sinks and tubs

• Lemon for freshening and gentle disinfecting

• Essential oils for a soft, uplifting scent (we love YoungLiving oils!)

  
  

There’s something deeply satisfying about caring for our home with simple, wholesome ingredients.

Creating Rhythms, Not Rush

Instead of trying to tackle everything in one overwhelming day, I’ve learned to break spring cleaning into gentle rhythms. One drawer. One closet. One corner at a time. You know my philosophy is to “find meaning in the little things.” Cleaning is no different. You will find more depth of meaning in the small steps than in big, grand, sweeping gestures.

I put on worship music, light a candle, and invite my children to join me in small ways. It becomes less about “getting it done” and more about building a home together.

A Heart Check Before the Home Check-

Before I pull out the baskets and the baking soda, I like to pause and pray. I ask God to help me release any clutter…not just the physical kind, but the mental and emotional weight I’ve been carrying too.

“Lord, help me to create a home that serves my family well and honors You. Help me to eliminate the filth that pollutes this floor and this body. Help me clear these halls and this heart of all things that are not You.”

Making Space for What Matters

At the end of the day, spring cleaning isn’t really about sparkling counters or perfectly organized shelves. It’s about making space (physically and spiritually) for what matters most:

More room for laughter around the table.

More peace in our daily routines.

More presence with the people right in front of us.

More commitment to Christ.

More purity.

More cleanliness.

More purging of the sinful spirit.

A clearer path to God.

As we step into this new season, my prayer is that our homes would be places of rest, warmth, and quiet joy.
