Habits That Hold Us

Gentle practices for regulation, rest, and return.

There are seasons when life feels full in the best way—and seasons when it feels full in the heavy way.
Motherhood, faith, and ordinary days often overlap in ways that leave little margin, even when our hearts are willing.

Habits That Hold Us is a collection of reflections on the small, faithful practices that quietly shape a household and a life over time.

These are not habits meant to optimize or impress.
They are practices that steady us when the pace quickens, when responsibilities pile up, and when the work of loving others stretches us thin.

This series is an invitation to slow down.
To pay attention.
To return—again and again—to what holds.

You don’t need to practice all of these at once.
You don’t need to master them.

Let yourself begin wherever you feel most in need of steadiness.
