September 3, 2020 will live in my mind as the moment I think children around the world, at least my world understood the true definition of courage. That day courage looked like letting go of our children’s hands, fighting back the tears of the grief of the loss of a normal first day of school […]

Suddenly “Homeschooling”
Well, yesterday at 4:35, my world as I knew it changed. If you are reading this, I think you are in the same boat. I have heard so many different takes on this in the last 12 hours. Some people happy, “more time with my kids!” to “now where do my kids go while I […]
When life doesn’t go as Intended…..
Well, it’s taken me about two months to get to the place where I could share this word. Mainly because I wasn’t sure I wanted to go down this road. I feel like typing this out is a big commitment to myself to follow through with being more intentional in my life. So without further […]
What’s in a Word….2017 Edition
I’m not too much of a person who reflects on things. I always thought I was. Maybe the truth is I used to, and now life just gets so filled with laundry, dishes, cooking and kiddos, that I don’t take the time to sit down and think through what works and what doesn’t and really […]
Journey
I wrote this post back in July. A lot has happened since then…however this is a prelude to whats to come, so I thought it was important to still share.

Coming Soon….
Oh boy…has it been a long time….. Blogging has always been one of those things that helps me think more clearly. It helps me be more creative, and grow in areas of my life that need it the most. (Or the least as the Mister says when it comes to crafting….it’s not like crafting is […]

[mks_dropcap style=”letter” size=”52″ bg_color=”#ffffff” txt_color=”#000000″]S[/mks_dropcap]ometimes I find myself getting frustrated because I look around and see all my other friends being super planned.

What’s in a Word…2014 edition
Back in November, as I mentioned here, I was thinking about 2014. So many good things happened in 2013. It was a year of great Grace and patience, as I waited on the Lord to help me understand what He wanted me to do next. More kids (the Mister just “loves” when I bring this up!;) ), […]
Another long break…
[mks_dropcap style=”letter” size=”52″ bg_color=”#ffffff” txt_color=”#000000″]A[/mks_dropcap]t the beginning of November, I got to thinking about what my word for 2014 would be. That being said, I couldn’t think ahead without thinking about the two months I still had left in 2013 and what part my word for this year, balance, was playing in it. I made a […]
