I’ll keep this brief because what I really want you to do is spend time with your child (or children) asking THEM some questions. We can get so caught up in the daily to-dos that we are only doing what we HAVE TO do, and not what we WANT TO do. I have a desire to connect more with each of my ...
Deep Gratitude: The Guitar
Deep gratitude. My heart is so very full of gratitude.Back story: As many of you already know, less than a year ago I was incredibly sick. For months I went to bed not knowing if I'd live another day. The pain was excruciating both mentally and physically. The trauma our family endured from ...
Decluttering: Pretty + Peaceful Spaces
I’ve shared a lot about my passion for decluttering and curating pretty + peaceful spaces. The mission is really two-fold. It started as a side hustle to earn money for a big beautiful built-in-looking refrigerator someday. Oh, how my ambitions have changed as life has gone on! Haha! I ...
Are You Reacting To The Life Around You, or Are You Creating The Life You Long For?
Check-in time, how are you? Really, how are you doing? Good or bad, drop a message in the comments, or message me through any of my social channels. I love hearing from you. Every day we are bombarded with so much information through our phones, TV, the newspaper, etc. Yes, we still ...
The Eyes to See…
There's something sacred to me about backyard time with the family. Tending our garden, admiring the flowers blooming in the bed, watching the littles dig in the sandbox, and sometimes joining them myself. Snacking on the freshest fruits of my husband's labor in the garden, smelling the fire ...
Two Things: Homeschool Uniforms & Nature Study
Two things:First thing: We're trying casual uniforms in our homeschool. This may sound strict when read on a blog post, but I assure you my middle kids ASKED for this. They love all things fashion and thought it would be a lot of fun. I can tell you this, it has made mornings smoother, and ...
Mindset & Attitude
As a young bride I thought homemaking meant having the children dressed well and supper on the table at 6 pm for my husband, doing the shopping for wedding, birthday, and Christmas gifts, signing all the cards, and changing out seasonal decorations. What I've learned over the years that I've been ...

Recipe: Graycie’s Cinnamon Almond Cake
My youngest daughter, age 8, often comes to me with the sweetest smile and asks "can I create a recipe, momma?"Without giving it a thought, my honest response today was "yes, but only if you clean up the kitchen when you're finished".I wanted to say "no", because of the messes that get made, but I ...
17 Years Ago Today
It was a Friday evening 17 years ago today, that at barely 18 years old, I hopped in my green Camaro with my big brother and drove to his friend's house for a quick visit. It was there that I'd meet the man that would become my husband, and his sweet + spunky one year old daughter (that I thought ...
A decade of learning together
I would sum up the last decade of teaching our children at home like this: Homeschooling is simply beautiful. Watching our children gain an interest in the world around them and study the plants and life that God created is a joy. 💕 Yes, there are hard days, math tests filled with tears, and ...
Do The Thing First
I'm not into working out. Well, okay, at least not in the traditional way. Elementary gym class as a kid with #erbspalsy made "exercise" a pretty traumatic thing that has taken way to long to just get over. So what I am into is gentle movements on my vibration plate, walking, and worshipping ...
Apple Cider Vinegar to Aid Digestion
Disclosure: I'm not a doctor, this isn't medical advice, and the hairband on my wrist was chewed by my SIL's cat, but it still works so I'm wearing it. When I was pregnant with our 4th child a relative give me some homemade apple cider vinegar to help combat the horrible heartburn I was having ...

Yoto Player Product Review
One thing I have always been passionate about is limiting screen time with our children. This is ironic to me, as I have spent a great deal of my adult life consulting for and managing social media accounts, as well as sharing bits of our life on different online platforms in hopes to encourage ...
