Thoughts this Winter Oh goodness. As we leave this winter season behind us I am filled with all sorts of feelings. The last couple months have been rough. Ever since the beginning of December when we had Lydia’s big appointment with our developmental specialist, we have been going full throttle with appointments for Lydia. We …
2020 had it’s fair share of downs, but studying The Book of Mormon was definitely not one of them! The last couple years I have tried to put a conscious effort into consistently being in the scriptures and the last two years, with Come Follow Me, has been incredible. I want to be in the …
Thoughts this Autumn Our autumn schoolhouse was felt really good but was also mixed with a lot of interruptions. We went on our family vacation to Montana {read all about it HERE}, we had Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays, and many medical and therapy appointments for our little Lydia. I have been filled with gratitude that …
Thoughts this Summer Our summer schoolhouse embraced a “school-lite” atmosphere and it was really great (for the most part). I needed a wee bit of a break. The very first week of June we received Jacob’s diagnosis and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time filling out paperwork and being on the phone working …
I decided a couple months ago that I was going to switch things up a little bit. Ever since we started homeschooling, I’ve been doing a monthly update on all of our happenings. I’ve really enjoyed doing it and looking back on things. However, it was just becoming a little too much work for me …

This March…well, what is there to say? We all feel it. Whatever it is we are feeling…we are feeling a lot nowadays. Despite all of the uncertainty, I was really grateful this month, that despite some extra activities for the kids and church attendance being put on hold, the vast majority of our lives stayed …
“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” 2 Nephi 31:20 …
I feel like we have really hit our stride this winter with the flow of our day. It has really been great and it is encouraging as we move forward. That is…until a couple months when I am sure we will have to adapt some more because that’s life. BUT…right now, we are doing pretty …
January was a bit of a flop for us with the exception of SCHOOL! We had a great month filled with learning! We are feeling a little cooped up…the wind is just brutal here and makes even short walks pretty unenjoyable. But we have high hopes for February! This month, though, I have had many …
