a morning at the zoo
A zoo membership was one of the best investments we’ve made. Not only do you only have to go 3 times to break even, but it also takes the pressure off of seeing everything because you can come back. Although it was predicted to rain all morning, we woke up to lightly overcast skies and […]

always – marriage conference 2019
Aaron and I love investing in our marriage, and our church’s marriage conference is a great opportunity for us to learn together.

dream team party 2019
One of the best parties of the year happened Friday (2.8.19), and I’m about to share it with you! 😀 To give some background, the Dream Team is what our church calls its volunteers.

create
I never (well… I try to never) let a task or chore be more important than creating a memory with my kids. Obviously, there is a lot of grey area in that statement, but on this particular Saturday (1.26.19) I was packing, cleaning and folding a mountain of laundry that had been neglected for days […]
the wooden train table
A few weeks ago at church, our pastor recommended a book titled “Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough” by Kay Warren.
