The Clegg family tradition of summer backpacking has risen again! Every summer growing up, my Dad would take us girls on a daddy daughter backpacking trip. We would go with other dads and daughters and it was a wonderful tradition with so many happy memories for me. My Dad asked if I was interested in …
Isn’t she just the cutest?! Several months ago, Sarah shared with me that she was having a hard time seeing things. It was the usual suspects: the hymn numbers at church, the board in our schoolroom, etc. So I scheduled her an appointment and they concluded that Sarah needed glasses. Her prescription is not “hefty” …
Last week we had a sort of unexpected night. Lydia has been on a wait list for a sleep study for several months now and we got a call around lunch time asking if we could take the spot for that night and we did! Of course, it was a night Mark was working, but …
Lydia’s therapy has an incredible arrangement with our county fair to give two hours to families who need a little bit of help with sensory overload. For two hours, the fair is open to them (FREE!) where the sounds and lights are turned off on all of the rides. They had face painting, bounce houses, …

Happy Monday! Wowza what a busy month! In between running around like a crazy woman, we had some special sweet moments, not to be forgotten. Atlas Crate I can’t remember if I talked about this before – so I apologize if it is a repeat. Jacob’s been getting a “watercolor subscription box” every month for …
Benjamin completed The Good and the Beautiful’s Kindergarten Prep course at the end of March. He was so very happy to do this course. He had done the Preschool course twice and so moving forward was really good for him! Previous Experience Both Jacob and Sarah did the previous version from The Good and the …
We finally got this boy into a sport – BASEBALL! It was so fun to watch Ben get into something new. Sadly, his first season was interesting.
