So I feel like sometimes I try to change so much at once that I basically change nothing because I am overwhelmed. But I wanted to share one thing that has changed for us as a family and I’m very excited. We have started to go to church regularly! If you know me, this is a struggle that I’m embarrassed to admit. With my husband only home one full day a week, we selfishly have stopped going to church because we were craving the extra time together. In my heart this was not working. I homeschool Christian based learning, and my youngest has been begging me to get baptized. I felt like in order to do that we really needed to be in a church where he was learning more and not just from me but from others. So, we did it! We decided to go back to church and he is getting baptized this weekend! Going back to church has made my life feel more peaceful and I’m so grateful for that. This week I plan to be more realistic and only try work on one new habit.

Welcome to The Contentment Project (TCP, for short)! I’m so glad you’re here!

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to go deeper, I’m so excited to walk this journey alongside you. As you settle in and look around the community, I’d love for you to introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us your name, where you’re joining from, and what brought you to The Contentment Project community. What are you hoping will feel different in your home or life as you begin this journey with us? Please feel free to connect & encourage with each other in the comments, like only the "farmhouse family" does! This is how we build our community! ❤️🏡❤️

Using the materials that go along with our Weekly Check-In Membership Calls, I’ve planned my first official week of summer break! I still work through the summer, but it is usually a time of wrapping up last school year, planning for next school year, and renewing my love of education! Less pressure than I typically feel August-April! Our weekly menu is planned, groceries are ordered, and I’m getting ready to head out the door for a visitation, a retirement party, and a graduation celebration! What do you have going on this weekend? Sending so much love from the farmhouse, friends! ❤️🏡❤️
