I love going to the pumpkin patch! I love all of the autumn activities! This year, we were on the hunt for a new place to make autumn traditions and we were led to such a gem. A friend of mine told me about Hometown Harvest Pumpkin Patch and it was the sweetest. The owners …
Family picture season snuck up on me this year – but we took them a couple days before Halloween and I love them oh so much. A friend recommended Kim Cormier Photography and she was beyond fantastic. She immediately made all of us feel at ease and was incredible with the kiddos. BONUS – she …
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …
This year we are shaking up our read alouds a little bit. Jacob really enjoys his read alouds and we just weren’t ready to give those up yet. However, I couldn’t figure out how to make the timing work. I know most homeschool families do one read aloud as a whole family, but I have …

There is something absolutely beautiful in hearing …
It has been a L O N G time since I have given a Lydia update with regards to her health. I was thinking how its only been a year and a half since her diagnosis, but it honestly, might as well have been YEARS. I truly can’t remember life before everything changed. It just …
My birthday came and went in a blink! But I am so grateful for my family and friends that made it special for me. The years truly go so quickly and I am doing my best to try and savor them with all of my favorite people.
