Bullet Journal Beginner

August 14, 2022October 29, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 13 Comments

I’ve finally done it: I started a Bullet Journal! Over the past week I’ve been trying a few different ways to help me get organised as I adjust to a full-time job and needing to prioritise my time differently, but I have the feeling the Bullet Journal will be what I stick with because it … Continue reading Bullet Journal Beginner

Settling In

July 21, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

My favourite part of the past week has been going for walks and discovering the local secondhand shops. They’ve been so full of lovely things, I’ve had to tell myself I don’t need everything right now. (Including a nice floral jug, which I’m sure I can find in nearly every secondhand shop there is.) But … Continue reading Settling In

What Comes Next

July 16, 2022October 29, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in a new space. One where I am the furthest away from what I thought my future would be, but closest to the one that will eventualise. It’s a funny feeling. This isn’t what I would have chosen for myself, but most things become normal very quickly. Of course there are moments when I … Continue reading What Comes Next

Taking Some Space

July 6, 2022October 2, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in the final week of living here, which is bizarre but great. As I said in my last post, I feel ready for the move, ready for the next thing. I think it’ll be good for me. This week was meant to be filled with work, long drives, saying goodbye, and packing. Only I’ve … Continue reading Taking Some Space

Onto the Next Thing

July 3, 2022August 14, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in the midst of moving, which is exciting. In just over a week I’ll be living somewhere new, which I don’t know if I’ve fully processed yet. With all the practical aspects to keep me busy, as well as working, I haven’t had many opportunities to just stop and let myself think about it. … Continue reading Onto the Next Thing

At Home: being faithful with what we have

June 8, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

There is a dream I come back to. When I was in late high school, I dreamt that my home was on fire and everything was burning. As I left the house I grabbed my Bible and nothing else. We lived, but none of our other possessions made it. I come back to this dream … Continue reading At Home: being faithful with what we have

Slowly Receiving Autumn

April 20, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

I have written about the seasons countless times. It is perhaps the thing I admire and appreciate most of God’s creation (other than flowers, maybe). I love that God gave us organised change, and the chance for something different and new. The beginning of each season always feels like a blessing; starting something is special. … Continue reading Slowly Receiving Autumn

At Home: A Simple Life

March 15, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

I aspire for simplicity, and the beauty that comes from it. What do I mean by simplicity? I suppose I could use it in a few different ways. If something simple is not showy, and if simplicity is plain, something in its barest form, then I want to attach that to how I live. Buying … Continue reading At Home: A Simple Life

At Home: Washing the Dishes

February 16, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I must confess, I enjoy washing the dishes. While I like a clean bathroom, I do not enjoy cleaning it. It is perhaps the task I struggle most to get through – though it is done every week and before guests come over, and it never takes as long as I think it does. But … Continue reading At Home: Washing the Dishes

At Home: we do what we can

February 2, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 1 Comment

I’ll admit; there are times to buy aprons! There are times when we move house and we can organise things in new or better ways. We may have more space for linen, an extra bedroom, or a laundry with a sink. These are good things, and they can be a relief and joy to us … Continue reading At Home: we do what we can
