We will feature a new guest host every other Friday (starting back in the New Year!), and will share a few other favorites in our stories who’ve been using the hashtag. Enjoy your coffee today, mama! Whether you’re lucky to drink it hot, or after 4 hours of it sitting out. Happy Friday! 💛
Instagram post 2198084128314024396_7624293127 Happy Friday, friends!! What are your plans for the weekend? My parents are coming to town and we are going to make gingerbread houses, and maybe cookies, too. So pray for me because that is a lot of sugar and a lot of kids😳🤪 You can shop my squares 2 ways:
1️⃣ follow me @mamainthemidst in the free @liketoknow.it app
2️⃣ use them link in my bio to go directly to my shop page http://liketk.it/2I7il #liketkit
Instagram post 2197358518344274728_7624293127 Maybe just maybe, we can see all the things and not take on the expectation to be all the things. We can remind ourselves that we are not less because we do less. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We are not required to do or excel at it all. We can stay in our lane and stick to our strengths and capabilities. We can appreciate other’s skills without diminishing our own. We can enjoy more and impose expectations on ourselves less.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I wrote these words last week in my blog post Laying Down the Pressure to Do and Be it All this Season. If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to check it out. Link in bio👉🏼⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Also, sharing a bit of my mess in stories today to remind us all that no one has it all together. What’s one area of your life that is your accepted mess?
Instagram post 2196639791226080223_7624293127 Who needs an app or side for your holiday gatherings??? Welp, stop what you’re doing and make these sausage stuffing balls...they are so crispy and savory. And even my husband, who is less than thrilled with stuffing approves!⠀

Would you believe I snapped this pic on Thanksgiving day?📸 Who else is a master multitasker🙋🏼‍♀️

Instagram post 2195951441147253670_7624293127 Wanna know what a dog looks like right before she destroys your decor? This girl is bound and determined to keep my porch decor minimal!

How would you describe your decorating style? Minimal or extravagant? (FYI, I would call mine a hot mess because I still have a few pumpkins I spied that I forgot to put away and need to take Christmas boxes back down to the basement💁🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ You can shop my squares 2 ways: 
1️⃣ follow me @mamainthemidst in the free @liketoknow.it app.

Instagram post 2192990186472108726_7624293127 Are you a baker? I tend to prefer more rustic dishes because true baking often requires precision, and to be quite honest, I am more a little of this; a little of that kinda girl. ⠀
⠀
I think it’s good to remind myself of who I really am instead of trying to fit myself into a box that wasn’t really made for me in the first place. For far too long I did things more because I thought I should and less because it was actually for me. ⠀
⠀
So here’s to be completely, unashamedly, boldly ourselves this holiday season💃💃 What’s one holiday tradition that is not you?⠀
⠀
In other news, ya’ll, this baker is $9 for cyber week at Lifeway.com. $9!!! #LifeWayCyberWeek is killing it! Getcha one!! I love how you can display it when you’re not using it, too! Head on up to my stories to see how I styled it on my open shelves. ⠀

Instagram post 2190873837176314415_7624293127 When your original plan is to do an ultimate leggings round up and review blog post talking all things leggings (because I am an expert at leggings, you know💁🏼‍♀️), but your child is sick, you throw it back to an old pic and put it out there that the post is coming soon.

Because hair done, bed made, and leaving Emry’s side has not been accomplished in days. But I have been living in leggings this past week, so the research continues!☺️ (Clearly I am a highly dedicated and sophisticated journalist committed to my work  over here🤣) So tell me, are you a leggings or jeans girl?

Instagram post 2190074547872801928_7624293127 Do you ever feel like you are just barely hanging on during the holiday seasons? Have you ever lost yourself in the hustle and bustle? Accidentally found yourself trying to do all the things someone else’s way? Somehow taken on a societal or self imposed pressure to be all the things you’re not? ⠀
⠀
As we enter December, here’s our reminder that this season we can see all the things and not take on the expectation to be all the things. We can remind ourselves that we are not less because we do less. We are not required to do or excel at it all. We can lay down some of those pressures and enjoy.⠀
⠀
If this resonates with you, check out my newest blog post on laying down the expectations and pressures of the season. I would be so honored if you checked it out! Link in bio👉🏼
Instagram post 2187920968391244643_7624293127 Grace upon grace. I recently had two different friends tell me how much they appreciated times when I’ve told them to give themselves grace....if I have to be honest that advice is so easy for me to give, but not always to take. I am hard on myself. I critique and find fault. But, you guys, His grace is sufficient. More than enough. Abundant. ⠀
⠀
And so, I am reminded to purposefully rest in His grace. To remember that we are worthy because He calls us worthy. His power is made perfect in our very weaknesses. ⠀
⠀
Wear it on your shirt. Put it on a post it. Write it on your mirror, but remember, to give grace. To yourself and to others. We all need it. ⠀
⠀
Do you Black Friday shop from online or in store? I am an online shopper through and through! This cozy grace upon grace sweatshirt [#ad ] is just one of the many sale items in the Black Friday Weekend sale going on at Lifeway.com ⠀
