Little Things We're Enjoying:
Our fireplace—because our heater could not keep up with the winter weather, but we are staying toasty with the fire going all day every day! (Lauren)
Pretending I'm the Emma M. Lion of Huntsville, Alabama with my daily afternoon London Fogs: Earl Grey tea, a bit of sweetener, and steamed milk. (Lainee)
This recipe box is super cute to use for Scripture memory notecards. We need to hide God's Word in our hearts just as we need daily sustenance for our bodies!
Preparing for an Army move back to Fort Hood, Texas, mid-year! (Kimbo)
Books and Resources We're Loving:
A biblical theology study Bible is so fun, especially in light of our upcoming series!
This book on identity really gets into theology and doctrine of union with Christ—it's not just a surface-level identity conversation. It digs really deep while still being completely accessible.
I can't get enough of Sarah Sparks' content…Her music (my favorite Narnia-inspired album—she has a song called “Puddleglum's Anthem” for crying out loud!), her poetry, etc. (Lainee)
Am I the only one begging God to make me a more grateful person and to cultivate a general countenance of thankfulness and joy rather than a critical and downcast spirit within me? Practicing Thankfulness by Sam Crabtree has been so helpful in this endeavor. (Lainee)

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 vegan protein powder
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)
