book advent 2018
When I originally wrote about 12 Books of Christmas, it was the beginning of a new tradition for our family. I pulled all the Christmas books we already owned & my mom purchased a few Usborne Books & More I had my eye on so we would have 12. Guys, I cannot accurately describe how […]
thankful thursday #52
We’ve officially completed a year of thankful thursdays! Like I said at the beginning of the year, this really stemmed from Thanksgiving 2017 and my desire to keep the attitude of thankfulness all year round instead of just one day a year. Particularly on the challenging weeks, it was good for me to sit down […]
Christmas weekend 2018

This weekend was packed with sweet new memories and the beginnings of some incredibly fun traditions, and I am so excited to share these past 4 days with you. […]
our family Christmas card journey

the weekend before christmas
Sometimes, you just have a weekend so packed with fun and goodness that you have to write a post about it. This past weekend (12.15-16.18) was one of those weekends. I’ll admit it was different than usual, but I got a lot of time with the girls which always makes me happy. Let’s […]
what i learned in my first year of home owning
On Saturday (12.15.18), Aaron and I celebrated being home owners for a full year. Our home was a result of literally years of prayer, tears, disappointments and dreams. When we signed the papers and were given the code to the lock-box that had our keys in it, it was like being on cloud-nine. We moved […]
