Year end reviews have always been popular in the blogging world. It has been years since I've shared a collection of my most popular posts from the year, so yesterday I sat down to look at the numbers. I pulled up all of the traffic my blog received in 2017, and what I found really surprised me. My most popular blog posts for the year were all from 2014. This isn't actually the surprising part since my most popular blog post of all time (which continues to be the most popular almost daily) was published in 2014. In fact, 2014 was a pretty epic year for my blog. That was also the year that I wrote the popular posts: I'm Scared to Have 2 … [Read more...]
Stitch Fix: A Frugal Girl’s Honest Review
It feels like all of the cool kids on the internet have been doing Stitch Fix for years, but I have never been brave enough to try it myself. Is Stitch Fix frugal enough for me? I had my doubts. This post is not sponsored by Stitch Fix, but it does contain affiliate links. If you schedule through my link I'll earn a small commission at no cost to you. All opinions are my own. Why did I finally push my doubts aside to try Stitch Fix? They are running a promotion that waives the usual $20 styling fee! Which means I could try Stitch Fix completely free!!

Crushing the “Perfect Mom” Illusion
You have seen her before. She is the perfect mom. She totally has her act together, and you can't help but wonder what is her magic secret? Today I was that perfect mom. Trust me. I didn't feel like that mom, yet just hours ago another mom asked me for my secret. We were at a moms' group at my church. The prayer request that I shared at my table was for better sleep. Little Isaac is 9 months old. Like most babies, his sleep habits can vary, which means that my sleep varies. Better sleep is always a good prayer request for this mama. As we were finishing up, another mom said to me, "Rebekah, I just have to say that for someone who … [Read more...]
The Power of Contentment
Last year my church started a podcast, PetraCast, to encourage and enrich our church family as well as those outside of our church. I had the privilege of being one of the first guest co-hosts last fall, and my husband was a guest co-host this August. Although I am very open about my Christian faith here on Simply Rebekah, it isn't something that I talk about all that often. I think you will apperciate a change in pace as you listen to me discuss key moments in my spiritual journey and my thoughts on contentment. My husband, Nate, was featured in the episode "Making Disciples is Messy." Nate shares about his experience being the … [Read more...]
I Hate Cleaning, But This Helps . . . (Free Cleaning Kit)
This post contains affiliate links. I am pretty honest about my struggles here. If you've been reading Simply Rebekah for even a short amount of time, you'll know that one of my biggest struggles is cleaning. I hate cleaning. My personality type (ESFP) doesn't handle structure and routines very well. Instead, I love to live in the moment. Often I find myself neglecting cleaning tasks because of other bright and shiny fun that delightfully distracts me. Because of that, I've come up with some tactics to help me overcome my hatred for cleaning. The Just Clean Something Challenge has been an excellent kick-in-the-pants. My … [Read more...]
I Experienced a Miracle!
This post contains affiliate links. My Miracle When Noah was born in 2012, we received a bill for several hundred dollars that wasn't covered by our insurance. Someone at the hospital suggested that I request a deduction in the bill, and we ended up needing to pay only $10! The massive reduction of that bill was a huge blessing for us. When Isaac was born this winter, we received the same bill. I requested a deduction again, but my requests weren't going anywhere. Nate and I are thankful for our insurance coverage, but it comes with a pricey premium and a pretty steep deductible. Paying nearly $1,000 (for a bill that we had reduced to … [Read more...]
