Faith, Family, Food & Fun
It may seem like to some that there isn’t a lot to be thankful for today. 2020 has been one heck of a year and 2021 doesn’t seem to be looking any better. We can’t control any of that. We can only control our own hearts and minds. It is really easy to get caught …
I am forgetful. I can get distracted pretty easily. I need a lot of reminders to keep me on track, focused and on schedule with family, homeschool and life. I use my iphone calendar alerts to remind me of things that are a month or more away and always opt in for text and email …
Finally the day has come when I am no longer considered “pregnant”. I have to go back in two weeks for one final blood test just to make sure but totally ready to move on. It is so weird to feel joy and sadness all about the same thing. But that is the place I …

We really suck at sticking to our food budget. We super love food. But- we spend way too much on groceries. As we are seeking balance in all the different areas of our life- our budget is at the top of the list. We are aiming to be more frugal.. and savvy.. in how we …
Over the last six months I have experienced 2 chemical pregnancies and 1 ectopic. A chemical pregnancy is a loss that occurs at or around 5 weeks and and for me- I would get that positive pregnancy test- ok fine, multiple positives- and then a week or 2 later start bleeding. Losses are hard at …
We like meal time in our house. We do not usually eat the normal lunch fare. PB&J’s are a rarity over here. We like to cook.. And we like food.. So keeping lunches fun and full of variety are a must. We spent the week coming up with fun and easy lunches that make mealtime …
