Meet christa sterkenWelcome, I’m Christa.  If you need encouragement finding joy in your everyday, ordinary life? This is a place to find hope.

I’ll help you to live on purpose, and embrace every delight and challenge of what some consider mundane in our home, faith, and family.

As a perspective advocate, I’ll be your mentor as you reclaim peace! Because girl, I’ve been there too. BUT, I’ve learned tools along the way to share with you.

We’re not “getting there”, we ARE here. Right now! This is our adventure, not someday, when we imagine having it all together. This is a perfect day to celebrate the moments that make up a contented, joyful life.

I love a vintage aesthetic, nesting, being outdoors, riding my beach cruiser, photography, exploring unknown roads, and dreaming of living in the country. But most of all? I enjoy people!

 

Let’s get started

Where to begin? Here is how to kickstart your time here (and a few post suggestions to get you started)  :

Need short reflections on thriving with imperfect faith? Start here.

Homemaking is where you’ll find all things hospitality, making ends meet, holidays, DIY tutorials, menu planning, and household helps.  You’ll find the drop-down menu for those here. While I’ve written about a vast array of topics over the years…you’ll find a purposeful narrowing of focus toward homemaking. I am old enough to see the power of our sphere of influence, and have a driving passion to restore hope to this important art form.

Check out the Family tab to find reflections hope for ordinary days, and encouragement specific to motherhood, marriage, friendship, homeschooling, wellness, and chronic illness. Click here for those topics, there is a drop-down menu to find what you are looking for.

Simple Living is full of helpful tools to find more margin, a slower living guide to help you breathe a bit deeper. Peace isn’t found in the busy-ness, am I right? Head here for those posts.

Lastly, we don’t all have the time or money for physical vacations. Enjoy a 5-minute armchair adventure to refresh your mind and senses under Photography.  I have a passion for abandoned architecture, yet if nature or road trips are more your speed, you’ll find them all here.
