December was a beautiful month – packed full of fun and empty enough to enjoy it all. We did some fun activities outside. I made a delish potato soup (a few times) and it was sooo yummy! I’ll definitely be putting together a recipe blog post with this one soon because it has all of […]

i’m 10 years old (spiritually)
It is said that a Christian has two birthdays – the day they were physically born and the day they are spiritually born because they ask Christ to take over their life. Today, January 6th, I celebrate 10 years of being in relationship with God. 5 years ago, for the very first time publicly, I […]
my word for 2023
The word “healthy” has so many different definitions. But the ones that stood out to me when I Googled it was “natural, desirable.” This word for my year was birthed out of a desire for every area of my life to be healthy. More than just my food, body movement and immune system. I also […]

we’re taking a break from fundraising for the adoption
After Aaron & I put everything we had into the nation-wide adoption campaign (that ended in mid-November), we’ve been tired. I’ve been tired. We’ve been nonstop fundraising since January and even after I recovered from the physical & emotional exhaustion from the craziest fundraiser of my life, I found myself empty. Actually, past empty. I […]

Spencer Myles, How are you 18 months old? You have grown so fast (doesn’t help that I’m only getting you 3T clothes now ;P ) and every day I see you unlock some new achievement.

our family’s favorite christmas books
Like many others, Christmas is my favorite holiday. It was my favorite as a kid but even as an adult I find it brings me a different kind of joy. It has been so fun for our family to create our own traditions over the years and create timeless memories. One of the things that […]
