Each day they are marching closer to independence, and I simply love being a mama of littles. I'm trying to soak them, and … Continue reading Simple June Blessings
Our Anniversary Gift Has Arrived!
We got the call last week. In March, my husband and I ordered an Amish-made log canopy bed in honor of our anniversary. A splurge, to be sure, but I am super happy with the decision. Rolling words like Amish, log, and canopy bed together makes me feel pretty wonderful. Anyhow, we got the call … Continue reading Our Anniversary Gift Has Arrived!

How We Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Late last night, I scrounged through my closet, looking for a few bags of Valentine's Day goodies. Once they were found, I arranged a special place for each child, writing their name on a scrap piece of white paper. It's Valentine's Day! While my husband and I mainly practice our faith in Messianic ways, we … Continue reading How We Celebrate Valentine’s Day

Enjoying Our Renovation Journey
Looking out the window, I see a small open field. A downed tree juts into the grass, sticking out of the wood line like a sore thumb. One more thing to clean up, but thankfully our children enjoy playing on it's branches. Near the back of the open expanse, I spot the few trees we … Continue reading Enjoying Our Renovation Journey

My Heart is Heavy
Yesterday, my heart felt incredibly heavy while we were scurrying around, getting ready for the day.
