Aaron and I have created a culture of less screens in our home. From not owning a TV to setting blocks of time for us to be on our laptops/phones, it’s important to us that we all spend less time on screens. When we do watch something, we plug in our projector screen in our […]

my blogging struggle
You know when you think you’ve put a demon to rest, only to find it roaring it’s big ugly head at you from time to time. That’s me and not feeling enough. Not feeling qualified. Some life circumstances birthed this beast and I still find myself picking up a sword to fight it. This past […]
end of the year summit questions
At the end of the year, Aaron & I take a few hours to talk about it. We ask very specific questions to help us reflect, learn, grow, plan and dream for what’s ahead. Organizations and companies do this to better themselves and their teams, so why do we put a pass on the most […]
paisley’s birth story
I had been having off and on contractions for a couple of weeks, and there were a couple of times I thought I was in the beginning stages of labor only to be disappointed when the contractions suddenly stopped. At my 38 week appointment my doctor offered induction, and with my fluid a 7 (5 […]
summer blast 2019
Last 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). Last year I wasn’t able to get the time off work to serve, but since I’m no longer working, I […]

letters to me || you were made for this
Dear Sarah, Culture will say you failed. They’ll say you’re immature and that you made a mistake. It will try to get you to doubt, to slink back into “their box” and guilt you to feel less than adequate. But let me remind you of something – you’re a rebel. Always have been, always will […]
just like that
“We’re not getting the house.” It was Wednesday night (3.13.19) and we were winding down in our bed. I was in the middle of a chapter of a book with plans to fall asleep when the chapter was over. When I heard Aaron say these words, I looked up mid-paragraph and saw Aaron’s expressionless face. […]
they’re watching
“Teach [the Word] to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates…” -Deuteronomy 11:19-20 Faith is the foundation of our family. We are very open in our […]
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. The theme of this year’s conference was “Always” from 1 Corinthians 13:7, “It [love] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” I hurried home from work to greet our babysitter and give […]
