sharp and alert
Hello there! School is almost out and that means bare feet outside, lunches on the patio, and getting muddy in sprinklers. Slides are so fun! I also love afternoon scooter time! Frisbees are fun for hours as well! At this time of year, we celebrated Izzy Grace’s second birthday! Who loves a tutu and tiara?…

I am seen
Hello friends! It’s another ordinary day here at our place! It’s “quiet time,” which means finishing up schoolwork for the older ones or napping for the littler ones. “Nap” could mean an actual quiet hour or might mean I’m putting people back in bed a few times. You know, Raegan gave me these “flowers” yesterday and…

restoration is real
A little spring break happening here! Sometimes ya just need some random items outside to make the best memories. When school begins again after spring break and with McDonald’s so close to home, it’s fun to get a treat there as a morning break! It’s nice to go just the two of us. Sometimes people…

how to stay chill when life feels overwhelming
Happy Mardi Gras! Yes, we live in Tenn. now, but when we lived in south Miss., we had so much fun learning the culture there and Mardi Gras is a big part! We were able to do outreach to the community with our student ministry during all the parades and experienced wonderful food. This place…

Hey hey! It’s a snow day! Not really for the students in this house, but no worries, we’ve already had fun outside, just finishing up some seat work inside now. I’ve realized I love looking at snow and get excited when it falls, but I’d still rather swim any day! What are you up to…

what to do in the waiting
Hello friends! It was Super Bowl Sunday so we had a relaxed Sunday of football at home for the evening. We enjoyed good food (that’s the best part to me) and the big girls decided they would like to make stuff. Jenna made a fruit salad! Linley and Raegan made “punch” (just cranberry juice mixed…

discipling the big ones
We celebrated 100 school days! It was cold outside, so grilled cheese seemed like a good idea. This is considered a “fancy” lunch since it doesn’t look like this everyday, but this was a celebratory lunch! Dental visits happened, so we make it an outing. Chick-fil-A is, of course, part of the event! It’s also…

discipling littles
Hey there! January has been miserably cold for what I am used to! I appreciate the sunshine, especially when it is cold. We also have two birthdays this month, Deacon and Krew, so we celebrated them. I am happy the icing didn’t slide off the cake I made and the dog banner is still going…
