What we are loving: Cottrell family edition We're not quite as adventurous as Michael & Tami, but we still love a good tasty dish! I've learned a lot in the cooking department since getting married three years ago, one of those being how to compromise meals that Eli and I both enjoy. See, his tacos are compromised of a tortilla, taco meat, and cheese. The end. I'm usually halfway through preparing my taco toppings while he's on to ... Read More
The key struggle? To do it with grace. Honestly, as mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, and friends, we all have expectations. We expect our children to wake up at a certain time in the morning, we expect our husbands to come home at a certain time in the evening, we expect a certain holiday to go a certain way, we expect our mother's advice to work out perfectly, we expect a meal to taste a certain way, a date night to go well, and ...

To make peace with the old, while embracing the new. And each year, I like to choose a word that fits the season of life I’m in. I can take it with me throughout the year, reminding myself of my goals and keeping me focused even through the detours life ... Read More
As followers of Christ, we have both been on our journey of faith for over 5 years. To some, this seems like very little time. To us, we barely remember the time before we devoted our lives to the Lord. The everyday can become mundane, however. The fire and drive we felt as new followers of Christ is hard to continue with the same vigor and passion when diapers need to be changed, emails need to be answered, remodels take up ... Read More
We sit here and honestly do not have words to speak. What a time we live in. A time that we thought was long past, and now is resurrected 100 years later. Our hearts hurt for those who feel wronged. Our hearts hurt for those who have lost their entire life's work building their businesses only for them to get burned in the night.

How do you balance finances and your business, as Christian women? A question we have heard a lot over the years is how we handle our spiritual life while running a business. Does money and our christianity clash? Do we clash, as two followers of Jesus, over the topic of money, profit, and income?
