Many times, at first glance, a grazing board seems intimidating. It may look perfectly thought out and put together meticulously. It may be a specific color scheme or particular cuisine. However, it doesn’t have to be like that. There is no reason for it to be overwhelming.

God gave us one body and it’s our responsibility to take care of it. Putting good stuff in our bodies is one of the biggest ways we can do that.

Raising kids is hard. By hard I don’t mean bad. It is a beautifully chaotic undertaking. It’s messy - literally and figuratively. It’s full of joy and celebration. It’s sprinkled with anxiety and fear. There’s pride and pure delight. It has touches of anger and disappointment - in our kids and in ourselves. But it’s so good.

I think in the last couple of years it’s been obvious how vital it is to live in community. God created us to live in relationship with Him first, then with the people around us. This is just one way we can support each other.

I can’t let myself drown in excuses for not being diligent in the most important work on the planet - managing our household, which includes being the wife and mom my family needs and God designed me to be.
