5 Favorites from 2020

A lot could be said of 2020, but I’d like to offer a few good things, favorite things even, that I enjoyed last year. I hope there’s a new gem in this list for you! Here they are in no particular order…

Relatable Podcast by Allie Beth Stuckey

Allie has a way of cutting through the “fluff” of current events to offer the perspective of a Christian woman who cares deeply about theology and politics. Her dry sense of humor also makes me laugh!

Natalie Bennett YouTube Channel

This is the YouTube channel I’ve watched the most consistently over the past few years. I originally found her from a newborn must-haves video. Her channel has evolved beautifully and includes videos on motherhood, intentional living, and minimalism + organization. She also loves the Lord and brings a sweet perspective of a mama a few years ahead of me who is trying to honor the Lord in serving her family.

Her Messy to Minimal series helped inspire me to go through nearly every room in my house and declutter a LOT of items I was hanging on to for no good reason. Her videos are both inspirational and practically helpful.

Truth for Today Cards by Emily Lex

Emily has been one of my favorite artists for years. Her watercolor illustrations are just gorgeous. My family gifted me this set (pictured above) for Christmas and I’ve been loving using them for scripture memory. They’re so beautiful, I might frame a few and hang them around my home. She had a Christmas edition set that I hope comes back so I can snag them up :)

Tiny Theologians

I learned about this company through Allie Beth Stuckey. They offer wonderful training tools to help parents teach church history, missions, and discipleship. We’ve enjoyed the Fruit of the Spirit Conversation Cards and One with Christ Cards. The cards are a great visual and hands-on way to talk about theology with littles.

Parima Studio Desktop Backgrounds by Patricia Vargas

I have a feeling you and I both look at our desktop background a lot (I know I do!). I discovered Patricia Vargas of Parima Studio on Instagram and have been devouring her artwork ever since. Everything she does is beautiful, it’s hard to pick a favorite.

One of the best ways I found to enjoy her work is utilizing her free desktop backgrounds. You can access them by signing up for her email list here.

If you’re on that list, she’ll send you a new background each month with the option to enjoy it with an added calendar illustration (or not). I always look forward to that monthly email.

I hope you discovered something new from this list to brighten your day!
