about


hello there. 


i'm carissa. a writer. a picture-taker. a runner. a doting wife. an undeserving mother. a pursuer of Christ...

...writing because i love to share my story, taking pictures because i am attached to capturing memories, and living because of the grace of my Savior.

(before you ask if i wear these same wood earrings with each outfit, the answer is yes.)

my main squeeze is the worship leader at our church and we've enjoyed over seven sweet years of marriage thus far.  Hunter (2 yrs. old) and Sage (1 yr. old) call me mommy; i consider it a great honor to stay at home with them.  i enjoy reading, writing, photography, long-distance running, all things pretty and simple. my days are spent playing trains and dolls with my littles while laughing with my Honey Man.  i'm a northern california girl at heart, transplanted to the south.  i'm learning to bloom.

these lowercase letters are all about capturing the in-between moments of life.  lowercase letters are reserved for in-betweens, the stuff that fills the sentences, in-between the capitals and the period.  this blog is full of our day to days, embracing the in-between moments while discovering joys all anew. 

if you so desire, read more about our story in these entries ~


i hope you will stick around; i'd love to get to know you, too.
many blessings!
