As we embark on the new year there are so many things I'm LOOKING FORWARD to, like meeting this babe that is growing in my womb, trips with family, intentional homeschooling and homemaking, getting to know our neighbors better, enjoying our community, and more.Right now, with an ice storm warning in ...

He was loved beyond measure and will continue to be ...
Wife + Momma
There isn't an easy way for me to adequately describe the depth of the joy and honor that I feel to be the wife and mother of this family. The love I have for this tribe is overwhelmingly beautiful, intense, and never-ending.Gathering around the table for homemade apple pie (my grandma's recipe) ...

The kids told me they stayed up "really late" each night, had gluten-free @oreo and Grandpa's amazing pancakes for breakfast, and got to play in the same backyard that 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 ...
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 ...
