Hi!


I'm Rebekah, a former copy editor who decided to give my red pen a rest and do a bit of writing from the desk in my sunny kitchen instead. Here you'll find honest stories of mothering daughters, making peace with imperfection, and embracing grace. My hobbies change on a weekly basis but have most recently included photography, cross-stitch, knitting, and raising monarch butterflies. You can also find me at The Drafting Desk, a monthly newsletter offering soulful encouragement for recovering perfectionists, and as a contributing writer for Kindred Mom and The Joyful Life.

Have you heard the one about the kitten we adopted who turned out to be pregnant? 🤦🏼‍♀️
“This is why we can't have nice things!" might be true when there are kids living in the house, but the phrase is rooted in resentment. When I step back to look at the bigger picture, at the gift of this life and these children and this place where we live, gratitude changes everything.⠀ ⠀ @emily_sue_allen and I talk more about this in the second half of Episode 45 of the @kindred_mom podcast. Link to listen is in my profile.⠀ ⠀ 📷 from our weekend visit to Massachusetts, where it was delightfully chilly and every photo of the girls and me turned out like this.⠀ ⠀ #mothersofdaughters #kindredmom #podcastguest #writerinresidence #motherhoodissanctifying
