How to navigate the current political climate as a follower of Christ... Super-cute toddler kicks... So far, Zianne's new school seems to have a healthy perspective on homework... I have always been fascinated by media ethics, so this research on the spread of false news online is interesting (and scary!)... Why the obsession with STEM is a bit misaligned... Some wisdom for Christians considering a PhD... This article is a little snarky, but after the emails I've received from students this year, it seems like a necessary read for today's young adults... Is it still postpartum skin after 18 months?!? My sister got me this cute tumbler for my birthday... And speaking of birthday gifts, my mom got me the quilt I've been eyeing forever, and it's even more gorgeous in person... Why do I not own one of these? Girl moms, you might be looking for clips that don't fall out of your daughter's hair every five minutes... ... Read more

A great shortcut for choosing the right font for design projects... In a similar vein, Dyslexie is a font designed to increase readability for people with dyslexia... Move aside, Enneagram. Scientists suggest there are only four personality types... I've heard this book is so good and this memoir is a must-read... And speaking of books, I'm re-reading this gem with my students and am reminded of why it has over 3200 five-star reviews on Amazon... Been wanting to update my necklaces lately, and this slider is a fun one... I've heard jokes about how the world needs Uber for kids... but did you know there IS one now? Eying galvanized wall planters for a blank wall in our living room... We just got this coffee table and I love the texture it adds to our space... ... Read more

The long-term damage of being the flaky friend... Discovered this artist in Vancouver BC... Trying to grow in the area of "scruffy hospitality..." In case your daughters need new "closed-toe" shoes for back-to-school season, here are some good, inexpensive options: For a girly kindergartener // For a sporty three year-old // For a toddling toddler How do I feed my joy in Christ daily? I make this queso once a year when hatch chiles are in season (which is now!)... I can never shake my concern over some of the popular women's books and this is another example... Speaking of books, I am re-reading this gem with my students... This article about "White Privilege" from a Christian black man's perspective is incredibly interesting... ... Read more

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
