Are you a crafty gal? I love crafts but I don't make time for them. Sometimes when I want to do something I combine it with a Moms Night Out! So that's what I did a couple months ago. I scoured pinterest for a fun activity, took a vote of several options and the string art/felt flower craft one won!! Much to my surprise it was actually a lot easier that I thought. This would be a perfect Mother's Day gift!! I shared exactly how I went about making this over on … [Read more...]

I am having a miscarriage.
January 12, 2018 By
I had a miscarriage. Or maybe I should say, I am having a miscarriage. Something I definitely thought I'd never say again. We thought we were done having kids. I was content. He was content. Our little family with 4 beautiful children. Going through ups and downs as parents, failures, successes to thinking we’ve got it a little figured out to downright low again. And then do it all over again. But we were content. Then one day, I felt off and my period was late, and I knew. … [Read more...]

Stupid Mistake + Where Have I Been???
March 27, 2017 By
Have you ever made a stupid mistake? Or is that even the word I'm looking for?!? Not like picking your kids up late from their practice or putting on the wrong shoes or putting salt in your coffee instead of sugar. Maybe the word I am thinking is irresponsible, foolish, "mom" brainless, the other kazillion of words that could be the right word. I almost lost my blog a while back and it was my OWN fault. I know I haven't even been writing on here in a LONG time but these are still … [Read more...]

Anyhow, like I mentioned over a year ago, I love … [Read more...]

August 4, 2016 By
Going from part-time homeschooling to full-time homeschooling is going to be a transition for all of us. We haven't ever done a morning basket (or morning time, some might call it circle time) before, but looking forward to getting started this year. The purpose of using a morning basket is to start your day off with truth, goodness and beauty. With the things that matter the most! Which are being together, reading and talking about Jesus, reading scripture, diving into rich literate … [Read more...]
