Releaf Essentials

Hey readers! Check out my new website for Young Living Essential Oils, Releaf Essentials! I've really fallen in love with this product and would love to share my journey with you! Follow me on Instagram @releafessentials or subscribe to the oily blog for info, recipes, tips, and current craves. And if you want to know why I'm such a fan of Young Living, click here.

I promise I will get back to posting here soon! 2016 has been absolutely crazy with me being sick and pregnant... packing up and moving across the country... unpacking and organizing a new house... having a baby and adjusting to the newborn routine... and starting to homeschool! But posts are coming, including (hopefully) the long-awaited final posts in Our Love Story!

new look & a shameless plug

A little blog refresh this weekend.  It just feels like spring is the best time for that kind of stuff!

Gonna be honest and just go ahead and say that this is my most favoritest design I've ever done for any blog.  I guess it's good that it was for me! ;)

(But seriously, if anyone's in the market for a new blog design or any kind of graphic design whatsoever, head on over to tailormade designs and check out my portfolio!)

I've got some stuff in the works to go along with my new look, so keep checking back!  Or you could sign up to receive my posts straight to your inbox.  Handy, eh?  Just type your email into the little box  under "SUBSCRIBE" in my sidebar and click submit!  Now you never have to miss a post!

New Etsy Shop!

I'm super stoked to announce the opening of my Etsy shop!  WHEE!

There isn't much there yet, but I'm happily working away on some new designs!  Eventually I hope to have invitations and more, but for now it's just prints.

If you missed any of the free prints I've posted here since March, I have them listed in the shop at $5 each.  Going forward, all of the free prints posted at Sufficient Grace will be available for a month before I move them to the shop to be sold, so check back here at least once a month to see what I've got new for you! ;)

Exciting news!

Well, for me, at least! ;)

I have finally -- finally! -- opened my design business!


Check me out at tailormadedesigns.com!

I design party invitations, wedding invitations, quotes to frame, business cards, blogs, websites, you name it!  If you'd like to see samples of my work, please contact me via TAILORMADEdesigns and I'd be happy to show you.

My portfolio is still a work-in-progress, so for the entire month of November, I'm offering a 20% discount on all custom orders!

If you are getting married, throwing a birthday party or a shower, want to give your blog a refresh (or set up a new one), I'm your girl.  I'd love to work with you! :)

Hi there.

It's been a long time, I know.

Truthfully?  I haven't felt like I could write before now.  I've been so low on grace the past two months.  I've been hard on myself, hard on my husband, and hard on my kids.  There's just been so much going on with our family and with me emotionally and my fuse has been extra short.

I'd like to say I've turned a corner, but I can't really say that if I'm being honest (and I promised myself to always be honest here).  But I will say that I'm trying harder.

No, I'm not trying harder to stop losing my temper.  I'm not trying harder to be happy.  I'm not even trying harder to be a better wife/mom/person.

I'm not trying harder to do anything, other than go to the One who can make me better and happy and give me self-control.  Because I can't do it on my own.

Life updates soon, I promise! :)

In the mean time, check out Charlyn's Heart, a blog by a sweet woman I have known for many, many years.  I had the privilege of designing her blog a few weeks ago.  I know her heart will bless you like it has me!
