I deleted instagram this week. It had been a long time coming since I hadn't posted for a couple of months, and I felt like a "break" wasn't cutting it. I have been taking stock of so much in my life with this in mind: where your attention goes, energy flows. How...
I know you won't be surprised that I know absolutely zilch about the big game tonight - but I am deeply looking forward to Jon's famous pizza, and Grey's face when he realizes they're heart-shaped. This age is so fun seeing their excitement for holidays, and the...
Nearly a year ago to the week, we had a history-making snow storm that took out our power for three days, and while they tell us "it never snows in Texas"...oops, it did it again. However, this time was much more (dare I say) fun, since our heat stayed on and we...
We had a big week in casa de Nixon Pack celebrating six years of loving sweet Grey the Great. All the cliches are true about how fast it goes, and I would give anything to slow it down just a little. More on how we celebrated after we get to today's Scrolls: the...
I read the most beautiful passage this week, referring to a day as a precious, unrepeatable gift. It gave me such pause to think about it that way. Of course we know it to be true, but when we stop and take that in, it feels so heavy. Also, immeasurably grateful,...
We so look forward to spending this time with you each Sunday! Especially after a long week of puppy sickness, Grey's first stint back to school, Jon's hand still out of commission - I am very much feeling that January pull to restore cleanliness and organization...
Before we start, I want you to know that as I wrote Scrolls this week, I thought of you, and sent healthy, warm, hopeful thoughts your way. I pray this New Year brings all of us exactly what we need, and an abundance of love to boot. I didn't do a big resolution...
I hope this Christmas brought you the peace, joy, and love we crave so deeply this season. Ours was a quiet one - together at home, just the three of us. Part of that is cozy and calm for two introverted homebodies 😆, but the other part gets a little sad and lonely...
We're so happy to see you here! As we ramp up for a magical, stressful, rejuvenating, depleting, joy-filled, grief-inducing emotional rollercoaster of a week, I feel so thankful you took time out of your day to be with us for a few minutes 💙. We're whipping up one...
I had to call 911 yesterday. It was terrifying, and also, one of the most eye-opening experiences we've had in some time. Jon had an incident with the hedge trimmer, walked calmly into the kitchen with his Nixon Pack sweatshirt as a tourniquet and said "I think I...
