Grit: firmness of character

Grace: beauty of form, manner, or action

These have become the guiding words in my parenting, homemaking, and personal growth. I’m Diana, at home in the Kansas City area, enjoying my roles as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.

Married thirteen years to my techie guy, Brett, we are parents by pregnancy and adoption to Hannah, Violet, Cora, and Grant. I have an elementary student, a preschooler, a toddler, and a newborn at the same time – embrace the stages!

I’m a Christ-following, budget-checking, real food-eating mom on a journey of building character, clearing clutter, and developing style in my clothes and home.

Blogging motivates me to make memories and keep memories. And I hope to build connections and encourage others in the process.
