Jacob made a goal earlier this year that he wanted to be in the scriptures more. I was thrilled to try and support him in this. This year we have been studying the Old Testament as a family and so Jacob wanted to dive more into that. One way Jacob specifically wanted to get more …
Last week we celebrated our favorite man’s birthday. He wanted to spend it in nature and we were all game! Rocky Mountain National Park was calling…and we came! We went to Rocky Mountain last autumn for the first time – and we loved it but it was cold and snowy and so we weren’t able …
Our 2022 – 2023 school year has officially BEGUN!!! These kiddos love learning and I feel so grateful to spend each day learning along with them. This is our sixth year homeschooling and I am just filled with love for these kiddos. Jacob is in his fifth grade, Sarah is in second grade, Benjamin is …

After our Clegg Family Reunion, we made our way down to Utah to visit Grandpa and Grandma Berning. We loved staying up late and playing games with Uncle Brian. We were so grateful to spend a couple days with them AND, most importantly, to celebrate Grandma’s birthday! It never feels long enough, but we loved …
Last month we made our way west to spend some time with family. We loved spending a week in one of our favorite places with some of our favorite people. We played games, spent time with our Moldenhauer family, went on walks with the pups, had long talks, ate LOTS of food, read Harry Potter, …
I love the fourth of July! It is one of my favorite holidays – always has been! But this year was a tuff one for me. We have lived away from family ever since Mark and I got married and so we got used to doing holidays and other events on our own, early on …
