On Saturday (7.14.18) our church had their annual Serve Day. Outreach is not everyone’s spiritual gift (it’s not mine), but our pastor strongly encourages the congregation to participate one Saturday of the year and serve their community. It’s an effort that has motivated hundreds of churches across the country and the globe (over 900 to be exact). Across Alabama, you’d […]

why it’s okay to take time for self-care
Since Aaron was teaching the Bible story at Summer Blast and needed to be at church by 6:30am Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we decided it best if the girls stayed with their grandparents so they’re sleeping schedule wasn’t terribly interrupted. Because of this, they were gone from Sunday night – Wednesday night. This meant 4 evenings […]

summer blast 2018
Earlier this week was Church of the Highlands’s kids conference – Summer Blast! It’s very similar to the well-known VBS (Vacation Bible School) that lots of churches have, but it’s only 3 days (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday). Summer Blast is a ton of fun and even though I loved serving Summer Blast in 2016 & Summer Blast […]

lake day + sparklers
Since Aaron and I were feeling much better after our illness over the weekend, on the 4th of July we decided to go to the lake. Rick & Michelle came with us, but they were not feeling well, so their participation was minimal. Rylie hadn’t been to the lake since August last year when she was […]
pros to having an online baby shower
“What a fun idea!” “Aww how sweet! What a creative shower.” These were just a couple of the responses I got when I invited friends and family to attend my Build-A-Library online baby shower. It was an event on Facebook that my people could check into over the course of a week and it […]
