January 2026

Little Things We're Enjoying:

  • The most elevated (yet ridiculously simple) salted brown butter rice krispy treats. Keep the ingredients on hand for a dessert that comes together in 5 minutes!

  • Learning we were the top podcast for 999 listeners on Spotify in 2025!

  • Snow days and walking to our neighborhood sledding hill. This is our last winter in Kentucky, and we are soaking it up before moving back to Texas in June. (Kimbo)

  • KOS Vegan Protein Powder Erythritol Free, Vanilla

  • The look of this inexpensive but stylish church coat! [Alternate option for Australia]

  • Niche, but for the easily overstimulated friends, these (pretty!) noise softening headphones are amazing.

  • Heard this was a great family game, so I ordered it for a white elephant gift swap. (Lauren)

Books and Resources We're Loving:

  • This amazing volume on biblical theology (which might be a hint about upcoming episodes…)

  • My kids can't get enough of this read aloud. It's the first in a beloved trilogy! (Lainee)

  • The Emma Lion series really is as great as everyone says.

  • Milton's Paradise Lost is on my list of classics to read this year, and I'm eyeing the beautiful version by our friends at Lithos Kids. (Lainee)

  • Speaking of classics, if you haven't read Middlemarch yet, you must. And then you must talk to me about it! (Lainee)
