The Fragile Things We Keep 12/14/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Something about this time of year makes me—and I daresay a great many people—especially reminiscent. Traditions are built by pulling meaning from years of moments, and if Christmastime is anything, it is filled with tradition. And if I am anything, it is a sucker for tradition. So I have a lifetimeContinue reading “The Fragile Things We Keep 12/14/2025”

Riches, Roots and the Roads Between 11/23/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We began our mountain vacation with a bang. That first full day brimmed with the kind of moments that stay with a family for years — long after we’re tired of scrolling through the photos and long after we’ve burned off the extra pounds from all the delectable food. Yet beneathContinue reading “Riches, Roots and the Roads Between 11/23/2025”

The Welcome Glow 11/9/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This is something of a disclaimer. Perhaps that isn’t the right word—maybe explanation would be more appropriate. You see, I caught a fair amount of flack this past weekend, and it wasn’t the first time either. It wasn’t particularly traumatizing, as I’ve heard the fuss before. I will say that thisContinue reading “The Welcome Glow 11/9/2025”

Hopelessly Hospitable: Our Favorite Kind of Trouble 9/28/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt My husband and I may have a problem. We knew it was an issue early on, and yet we’ve mostly ignored it, hoping for the best. It can be a lot to manage at times. We know this, and yet we always circle back to the same pattern. No matter howContinue reading “Hopelessly Hospitable: Our Favorite Kind of Trouble 9/28/2025”

Perils of Home (and Other Lightly Exaggerated Accounts) 9/7/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The times around my home are perilous indeed. Dangers lurk both indoors and out, and it is a wonder I am even here to write about them. Perhaps I exaggerate ever so slightly—but only slightly. Some of the goings-on truly are dangerous, or at least could be under the right circumstances.Continue reading “Perils of Home (and Other Lightly Exaggerated Accounts) 9/7/2025”

When God’s Time Became Our Forever 8/31/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt When I was a little girl imagining my future, I always saw myself getting married. Oddly enough, I didn’t give it nearly as much thought as you might expect. As someone who now delights in fawning over wedding details, you would think I’d had mine planned out well before my firstContinue reading “When God’s Time Became Our Forever 8/31/2025”

What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This week has flown by, and there’s been a great deal going on. Not to mention, a topic wouldn’t come to me no matter how much random information I threw at myself, hoping something would spark a little creativity. I even came up with the idea to simply ask my daughterContinue reading “What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025”

Where Liberty Lived–And Still Lives for Good 7/6/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The concept of freedom has been on my mind as of late. Yes, my nation just celebrated its Independence Day—that’s part of it, I suppose—but it isn’t merely a dose of patriotism that has stirred these thoughts. Honestly, my mind went a million different places, many of which I didn’t expect.Continue reading “Where Liberty Lived–And Still Lives for Good 7/6/2025”

People, Places and Things 2/2/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I think I might be a bit different.  Anyone reading this who knows me well probably finds that statement an obvious and terribly delayed announcement. I decided to make this statement because of what happened in my brain as I was trying to think of a topic for today.  I hadContinue reading “People, Places and Things 2/2/2025”

Homecoming 10/6/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt By the time this publishes I will be in my happy place. I had planned all along to talk a bit about my beloved mountains when planning what to write.  However, I know this is a somewhat exhausted topic, while not for me as I would happily write about this asContinue reading “Homecoming 10/6/2024”

The Box 7/14/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt In my living room as I am writing this, there is a large box. There isn’t to my knowledge, anything in the box. Well, when I left for work this morning there wasn’t, but I am not currently there.  I do have a cat that could very easily be making meContinue reading “The Box 7/14/2024”

Home Away from Home 10/18/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am writing this at one of my favorite places on the planet. I only call this one of my favorites because there are other places that I have yet to visit that MIGHT rival it but then again it may still reign victorious even after my traveling dreams are fulfilled. Continue reading “Home Away from Home 10/18/2020”
