“Perhaps the most essential of a father’s work is to turn the hearts of his children to their Heavenly Father. If by his example as well as his words a father can demonstrate what fidelity to God looks like in day-to-day living, that father will have given his children the key to peace in this …
Benjamin Lewis
BIG EMOTIONS! If I were to describe Benji in two words it would be those = BIG EMOTIONS. This boy feels all things BIG these days, which is pretty great a lot of the time {because he is a generally pretty happy, carefree kid} but he is also embracing a bit of the “three-nager” qualities …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Science: Botany
A mighty wind blew night and day It stole the Oak Tree’s leaves away, Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark Until the Oak was tired and stark. But still the Oak Tree held its ground While other trees fell all around. The weary wind gave up and spoke, “How can you still be …
Autism & ADHD
I have questioned this post and what to include in it over and over. This blog has always been about our family and, right now, this is something greatly impacting our family and we wanted to share.

2019 – 2020 End of Year Showcase
A couple months ago, Jacob and Sarah told me that they wanted to have an opportunity to share what they are learning and doing in school with grandparents. So we came up with this idea! We school year-round, but we do take a much lighter load during the summer. It’s worked out wonderfully for us. …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Pre-K
I love The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts curriculum! The Pre-K was the very first thing we tried from The Good and the Beautiful and we have been in love with it ever since. It is truly good and beautiful. Sarah has absolutely loved her “dog book” as she calls it. It is gentle …
Memorial Day
Memorial Day was quiet for our little family. Mark worked all weekend and so it was just me and the kiddos. We mostly just took it easy at home, and had a jammy/movie day on Saturday. The kids thoughts I was a rockstar and I was able to get some work done – WIN WIN! …
