Organizing our read alouds is one of my FAVORITE activities for homeschool prep! I am still in a bit of denial that it is time to start preparing for next school year – but so excited for all of these books that Sarah and I get to dive into! I know a lot of families …
One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is getting a front row seat to my kids learning. Teaching Jacob how to read and then seeing that love of reading just explode has been incredibly rewarding. He loves to read and I am just thrilled by it. He has moved up to a fourth grade reading …
This has been quite a year. Last March, a week before the world shut down to COVID, was the first time we expressed concern about our sweet little girl to our pediatrician. Since then, there has been a DEPTH of emotions. We have been stretched {sometimes it felt to our breaking point}. But this week, …
“Life will challenge you. Difficulties will come. Heartbreaks will strike. So, wherever you are going, make your way to Jesus Christ first. Remember that His suffering and Resurrection make possible our victory over difficulty and death. Make your covenants with Him and keep them as you journey on.” Elder Jeffrey R.

This place is so neat – pretty accessible – and close! It was a win-win-win! We went here last summer and the circumstances were pretty different …
I normally love winter – but I have to admit, I am really ready for SPRING! It has been so nice to see and feel the changing of the seasons. I am feeling an inward “rebirth” right now – as cheesy, as that may sound. I’ve been in and out of some dark places this …
We love to celebrate! We had a fun, simple day celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at home. To kick things off, we had our traditional St. Patrick’s Day breakfast: green waffles, buttermilk caramel syrup, sausage, and oranges. Delicious! We had a slower paced morning and snuggled together and read our two favorite books for St. Patrick’s …
Just two days after Lydia’s EEG, we went down for a different appointment at Primary’s. We went back to the beginning (this was the first clinic Lydia had an appointment with) and had an appointment at the HEFT Clinic. We met with the same gastroenterologist, speech language pathologist, and dietitian. The reason for this appointment …
