stop striving
I don’t know about you, but as we are over halfway through the year, my year has not looked like how I planned! As much as I love (structured) fun and love to squeeze the most out of every single day, it has felt heavy. So many prayers, so many fears, and amid the blessings…

He knows where I am part 2
We went ahead and took him to the ER Thursday, April 30, to get him admitted. That way he could work on nutrition and check his overall health. Praise the Lord that night, neurosurgery let us know they would put a shunt in the next morning. That Thursday night, we had a peaceful night eating…

in the waiting…
Hello there, sweet friends! What have you all been up to so far this month? The sun has been out more often and it’s a teensy bit warmer than it has been in months. Sunshine is good for the soul. Also, painting with water is a nice, clean activity to do outside. Raegan was super proud…

holidays and heartaches: we are His sheep and He takes care of us
It’s Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Mardi Gras, and so many festivities all at once! We didn’t take any days out of school, but we have been able to get outside and feel the warmth of the sunshine on our faces that we haven’t seen in a while. We all participated in making yummy food for…

follow your heart…but not actually

I really could have gone without tests and waiting and worrying. Almost two weeks ago at my 20 week ultrasound, we were presented with serious concerns –…

create a peaceful place to rest
Hello there! We’re in the advent season and we are counting the days until Christmas. We are collecting treasure in an advent activity, ending with hot chocolate. Raegan gets reading practice explaining the advent treasure hunt clues. The tree is up, I have wrapped lights around the prickly fir branches, and plan to decorate it…

a (crazy) week in the life…
It’s always interesting to me to learn about other peoples’ days. How they run, what they do, how they structure their errands, and random other stuff. After the way this week began, I think I’ll let you see a peek into my week this week! Keep in mind, this is not a normal week! Crazy…

what matters most
Back at homeschool this week! And the gym and ballet and church! I was as happy to have fall break from school as they were! Back to the grading, supporting, teaching, and organizing the schoolwork for K5, 2nd grade, 4th grade, 6th grade, and 7th grade. We took Christmas photos, which of course, everyone loves,…

Hey! It’s birthday time! I always enjoy my birthday time because it means fall is right here! I celebrated by going to Hobby Lobby, getting my ear pierced with my youngest sister, and eating lunch at McDonald’s so children could play on the amazing playground! I always inevitably think back over my life up to…
