Take time to slow down. 🤍

Not every moment gives us that opportunity—but slowing down doesn’t always have to happen by accident. Sometimes we have to intentionally make space for it.

A quiet walk. A few deep breaths. Sitting outside without your phone. Watching the clouds move across the sky.

Rest doesn’t have to be earned. Sometimes slowing down is exactly what your mind, body, and soul need. 🌿

What’s one way you can create a little more space to slow down this week?

Have you tried the viral Boursin pasta yet? It’s super simple and great for those grape and cherry tomato plants that are over-producing in your garden.

As always I make changes to the original recipes - like adding some onions from a local farmer. These ones I picked up in the McQuay Family Farmstand on River Road.

I just popped this in the oven, the pasta water is almost up to a boil and I can’t wait for dinner!

The recipe link I used is in the comments ⬇️

Have you started using a foam roller yet?
I've used mine as a recommendation given years ago from Nauvoo Health & Chiropractic. I use it at least once a day and it has done wonders for my back, shoulders and my hips.
I even have a smaller one that I pack in my luggage whenever I go on a trip!

Sometimes the most beautiful reminders come from the simplest moments.

Watching these sheep peacefully grazing reminded me that we weren’t created to carry every burden on our own. Just as a shepherd lovingly watches over his flock, God watches over us—guiding us, protecting us, and never losing sight of us.

Maybe today is your reminder to slow down, take a deep breath, and trust the One who knows the way.

💚 Until next time… may you notice God’s goodness all around you.

What if improving your photography skills also helped you slow down, notice the beauty around you, and spend more time outdoors?

No fancy camera required—just bring your phone, comfortable shoes, and a sense of curiosity.

How does a wellness retreat in Nauvoo sound?

Recipe share! I tried this a few times and it's good enough to share with you 🥰 It's delicious and healthy.

I made a few adjustments the second time, but this recipe is such a great base! Don't be afraid to switch things up as needed.

If you can't eat lemon - try red wine vinegar instead.
If you don't have radishes - leave them out.
If you have a garden filled with other herbs - add them too (I added some fresh oregano and parsley along with the dill).
If you don't have dijon mustard - flavor it with something else (I added some Salt Sisters ranch seasoning).

This will be a repeat recipe for my family this summer!
