Eight years old. I cannot believe it! This boy brings us so much joy and is an incredible blessing to our lives. We love him so much and were so happy to celebrate HIM. Jacob got up and going first thing and instead of doing the breakfast we planned – he said he wanted donuts! …
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. We also want to share with family and friends so that there is hopefully a greater understanding. AND …
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 …
{RECAP} February 2020 Schoolhouse

I toyed around with the idea for about a millisecond a couple years ago but quickly decided it was something that I wanted to let someone else teach our children.

Fall Soccer
