I started A Place For You with the goal of encouraging others. I share on a variety of topics such as Jesus, books, sourdough, health, contentment, homeschooling, foster care, and my fave products. I’m a wife and mama of 3 girls striving to live a surrendered life. If you were to have coffee with me, we would skip the small talk and get to the real life. We’d share our hearts and how we can pray for each other. That’s what I hope to give you a glimpse into here.
