Our family loves an excuse to CELEBRATE! The kids live for holidays and they were so excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! We started the day off with a bang with our traditional St. Patrick’s Day breakfast {our holiday menu at the bottom}. I love having food traditions with holidays and we are pretty solid …
Coronavirus
I debated about whether or not I wanted to make this post public because there is so much out there about this. And to be honest, I don’t want to add to the noise. HOWEVER, this is a huge event in the world right now and in our lives, and I want to make sure …
Jacob Scott
The world feels a little heavy right now and I am so grateful to turn my thoughts and attention to this little man…Jacob Scott. The truth is, Jacob is becoming less a little man and more a bigger man every day. I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up. One thing that I am …
Press Forward
“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” 2 Nephi 31:20 …
{RECAP} February 2020 Schoolhouse
I feel like we have really hit our stride this winter with the flow of our day. It has really been great and it is encouraging as we move forward. That is…until a couple months when I am sure we will have to adapt some more because that’s life. BUT…right now, we are doing pretty …

Our 9th Anniversary
NINE…WHOLE…YEARS! Whoa! We are getting up there, folks! {Now, I know we aren’t really getting “up there” but nine years is still quite a long while!} I’ve said it before, and I have no doubt I will say it again, but time is such a weird thing. I feel like I can hardly remember life …
“We Rejoice in Christ”
Isaiah was a prophet in Jerusalem. He lived about 700 years before Jesus Christ was born. He was a witness of Jesus and he wrote down the things that he saw. He saw when Jesus was born. He was able to see Mary with the baby Jesus and he knew that Jesus was not like …
Valentine’s Day
“The essence of love is kindness.” Robert Louis Stevenson Our week leading up to Valentine’s was incredible. It really truly was. I felt like we had so many moments where I just felt like I was catching glimpses of heaven on earth. Glimpses of the kind of love that Robert Louis Stevenson is talking about …
Why I Started Blogging…and Keep Going
I started our first family blog a mere two weeks after Mark and I got married. We were living in a “Kabin” at a KOA Campground and we couldn’t have been happier. And I wanted to document it all. I never started our blog with the intention of gathering “followers” or anything like that. Mostly, …
