The craving to simplify your life, yet finding yourself filling it up with more stuff?

Reading Grace not Perfection was a breath of fresh air! Emily’s ability to create beauty is endless. As a lover of beautiful pictures, words, and paper goods, this book brought me to my happy place. I get super distracted (squirrel!). This book kept me engaged, motivated, and encouraged. I walked away from reading it (in 2 days) ready to simplify my home and embrace the joy that comes from a content and grateful heart! You can watch her story here.
It’s a book that I will leave on my coffee table
and find myself reading over and over!
It’s a warm cup of coffee and sunshine to my soul.

Ooh I want to read this!!!
I struggle especially now while pregnant. I always feel so guilty not having enough energy to do what the kids want. And I end up putting a movie on for them which makes me feel worse.
Oooh I love that happy stripes planner!! ??
Love the floral and pink dot planners!
I just listened to a message yesterday that helped me in my struggle with guilt thinking always that I can do a better job, etc. and that is to remind myself how God looks at me not how I look at myself or others. He gave me righteousness, peace and joy when I gave Him my life and He won’t take them back! I can receive! Thank you for stopping by and visiting me today. I’m enjoying your blog.
Shared your blog post on FB. 🙂
I like the happy stripes planner. Funny I didn’t see the name of it until later, but the first thought that came to mind when I saw the print was happy. It’s such a bright and cheery print.
Going to check out her page now! I love the fuchsia dot planner! 🙂
I think I struggle most with given myself grace for past mistakes I’ve maid. I’m very quick to forgive others but so hard on myself.
When I dwell on that negativity it drains me as a wife and mom and I feel like I’m not giving them my best. I always feel like I’m never at a point where I need to be, weather it be with house cleaning or parenting or whatever, I just constantly feel like I’m failing.
Hope that all makes sense
Wonderful blog, Traci! I had no idea! I struggle with giving myself grace when I have to (or should, and do not) say “no” (to being involved with something, to activities for the kids, etc.). Also, timeliness and the irritability that comes with that (usually toward my kiddos!).
All of the planners are so pretty! I like the golden pineapples!
I’ve been struggling with giving myself grace in things I can’t control! It sounds crazy saying it out loud but as my husband and I go through the IVF process we are in a constant state of the unknown and putting our day at God’s feet is always easier said than done.
My favorite print is the golden pineapples!
I struggle with feeling guilty if I have to say no sometimes.
Love the brown leather planner! So smooth and cozy looking!
I struggle with giving myself grace re: productivity. My value does not come from my to do list or how many I check off! ?
I want to say yes to all the good things and have everything done by noon on Monday. But I’m learning to give my best yes to the things I’m actually called to do and let others serve in their own ways. And I can be productive on days later in the week too. This book sounds PERFECT for me. 🙂
That happy stripe planner is lovely!
I struggle with feeling like I’m not being the *perfect* mother that I feel like my kids deserve! Thanks for this giveaway!

Struggle to give myself grace when it comes to homeschool.
Happy Stripe!!!
I love the fancy floral planner. I definitely need some organization help. So much going on in life!
I struggle with feeling like I need to achieve everything in my timing, instead of in the Lord’s perfect timing. I’ve been learning more and more of the importance of carving out time in my days (even the busiest ones) to just rest in God’s promises. His Word breathes life into my days, and true peace to my otherwise my anxious heart.
Also, these planners are gorgeous! The Dapperdesk leather planner is beautiful, and the gold pineapple planner is so charming!
Thank you for the opportunity! 🙂
The fancy floral is pretty (: I struggle to give myself grace in SO many things…motherhood, my house management, not meeting my personal goals…working on that!!
Love that happy stripe planner.
I struggle with giving myself grace when it comes to the kids and keepingredients the household semi on order. I get caught up in feeling like things need to be done the “right ” way and realize it’s actually taking from what matters more with the the kids.
Traci,
I jokingly say I’m a member of “perfectionists anonymous”. Having had a lifelong struggle with this, I can honestly say that in my old age, God’s grace is finally winning out and oh what a freeing feeling that is. Life is way too short to keep seeking this elusive thing called perfectionism. I’d still love the book because old habits have a way of sneaking in…
Blessings,
Bev xx
When it comes to giving myself grace I struggle with perfection in my academics.
I struggle with giving myself grace when I make a mistake or a choice that ends up being the wrong one.
The first thought that comes to mind is not, “it’s ok everyone makes mistakes” instead it’s “I should have known better.”
Love the floral planner! The book sounds like a breath of fresh air in the middle of a huge home renovation to sell our house of 21 years and move into empty nester stage.
