Today, I wanted to share a simple, comforting meal inspired by foods that would have been common in Jesus’ time — not bread, not lentils, but fish, olives, herbs, figs, and honey. Foods from the Sea of Galilee region. Foods of everyday life.

There’s something about cold weather that makes us crave food that feels like a hug. Not a polite side hug… but a full, blanket-and-socks-and-you-don’t-have-to-talk kind of hug. Enter: chili. Faithful. Reliable. Always shows up when things get chilly — kind of like God, honestly. Whether you’ve had a long day, a long week, or a long season (you know the kind), this is the kind of meal that says: sit down, breathe, and let something warm you from the inside out.

Yes! They appear in Scripture more than once. The most famous moment? Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of lentils. Genesis 25. Imagine being SO hungry you give away your family destiny for soup! (I get it… lentils are good, but Esau—buddy, choose a sandwich or something.)

There’s something so sacred about food shared after a long day’s work — especially when it’s cooked with love and served with purpose. I often think about one of my favorite Bible moments found in John 21:1–14 — the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection. They had gone back to what they knew — fishing. The waves lapped against the boat, the sun rising slowly as their nets came up empty again and again. These were seasoned fishermen, weary in both

When I picture Jesus sharing meals with His disciples, I think of the simple, wholesome foods of the land — fresh fish from the Sea of Galilee, figs picked from the tree, olives just pressed into oil… and always, always bread.

There’s just something timeless and special about a handmade dress for a little girl. Whether it's for a picnic, a birthday, or just because—there’s so much love stitched into each seam. And if you're like me, you want simple projects that don’t take forever but still have that "oh my goodness, did you make that?" charm.

Let’s be honest—closets can get overwhelming. All the colors, the trends, the "I might wear this someday" items... and yet most of us end up wearing the same handful of things over and over again. And you know what? That’s not a bad thing. In fact, I think it’s beautiful. I've been leaning into a slower, gentler approach to getting dressed—one rooted in comfort, simplicity, and ease. The kind of closet where everything goes together, everything feels like you.

Have you ever noticed how the world seems to spin a little too fast some days? Between the news, the hustle, the expectations, and the constant pinging of phones—our minds can start to feel like they’re running a never-ending race. But there’s something magical that happens when you pick up a crochet hook and a soft skein of cotton yarn.

I’ve come to believe that a cozy, well-loved home isn’t about how much we own—it’s about the few things that truly serve us, spark joy, and make life a little smoother (and a lot more peaceful). So today, I’m opening the door to my everyday life and sharing 10 items I use every single day in my home—and why they’ve become part of what I call my Cozy Home Capsule.
