I am so excited for you to listen to the first episode in a special three-part series—Imagine the Keepsake.
In this first episode, I’m sharing the heart behind Consider the Crayons, a brand new heirloom keepsake book created for mothers and their children—designed to be experienced together and treasured for years to come.
Beautifully illustrated by Olivia Anderson, this book is now available on Amazon (softcover only at this time, though hardcover may appear listed but is not yet available. It is coming soon :).

I hope that after today's episode, time at the sink becomes sacred time with Him, as you now see dishes as 'lilies', reminders of His love and strength He offers us in motherhood.

In this episode, I’m joined by Aleah from LDS Bookstore — a beautiful Christ-centered company I’ve loved for a long time.
