31 Days: In This Season {at the table with Krista Gilbert}

Last night I was blessed to have friends gathered ’round the table. Long after supper was finished and Husband and the Littles went to bed, we were still lingering in conversation. Conversation that went from 0 – 90 mph in about 2 seconds flat. We talked about family, marriage, and motherhood. And, identity. Fear. Insecurities.We shared our Big God Dreams. Naturally,…

31 Days: Hot Onion Soufflé

One of my favorite essays on food and faith is The Heavenly Onion by Robert Farrar Capon. I first read the famous excerpt from Capon’s book The Supper of the Lamb, years ago. But, recently at the Laity Lodge Food Retreat, I had the opportunity to actually spend time with an onion à la Capon. “Admittedly, spending an hour in the…

31 Days: The Inconvenient Truth

I just hung up the phone with one of my nearest and dearests. We were hemming and hawing about Monday morning and how even before 9 am the day seemed to be winning. I’ve already been to school twice. Once, on purpose, to deliver the Littles. I planned that trip. The second time; however, wasn’t something I planned, nor was…

31 Days: A Meal with Jesus

On the banks of the River Liffey sits the oldest independent bookshop in Dublin. The Winding Stair greets strangers, foreigners toting passports from here and there, with welcome and wonder. Small and peculiar, the landmark—named after the Yeats poem— offers an eclectic collection of new and second-hand books to a clientele as diverse as its titles. Downstairs amidst the pages,…

31 Days: The Last Christmas {at the table with Kate Battistelli}

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt they had a special something, that je ne sais quoi sparkle about them? That’s the way I felt when I first met Kate. Funny thing is that we still haven’t met in real life (12 days until we do!), but we are kindreds— crazy for Jesus, family, food, and friends. I could tell…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!

Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a br Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a bright-eyed, young Hill staffer, full of enthusiasm for politics, our government, and America. I actually thought I’d be a senator or maybe even President one day. 🤪

I’m more realistic, reserved and battle weary thirty years later. But, I still believe in a place called hope.

Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happ Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happy place @ymcarockies We’ve packed it all in— sledding, skating, hiking, vision boards, celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and kicked off the New Year this morning with a 5k. I even found time to sit and stitch by the fire. 

Sure feels like we are making up for lost time and setting our hope for the year ahead. Happy New Year friends!!

No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll stay by the fire. We made the 16 hour trek to start the new year in our happy place. We’ve never been here the week between Christmas and NYE and we’re excited to explore in the snow. ❄️ I’m already laughing at our summer stash of clothes we keep here —cotton leggings, hoodies, and fishing boots. Feel free to laugh with and at me. Also winter friends—give me all your tips.
