I love pumpkin patches. It’s a tradition I enjoy but I was beginning to become fearful we wouldn’t make it to one this year. Thankfully, Aaron did some research and found a new patch (new to us anyway) that he wanted to try out. He figured out time off work so we could go and […]
holidays
July 4th, 2020
Our 4th of July started out pretty normal. Aaron had to work and the girls and I did every-day, normal things. But once Aaron was off, the fun began! It started with our DIY Bug Off because the bugs are out and they love me (and Emmaline!) I also stuck a roller-top on some peppermint […]
mothers day 2020
Mother’s Day started off early for me – 5:30 am early. Paisley woke up famished (at least that’s how she was acting) but after she ate her bottle, she fell asleep again. I was awake and figured I’d utilize the time and enjoyed some worship, a devotional and messaging some mama-friends before Aaron woke up […]
easter 2020
Covid-Easter was one of my favorites. Normally, Easter Sunday is spent separate – Aaron serving multiple services at our church while I serve by caring for our family at home. But because church is strictly online during this season, we were able to spend our first Easter with kids at home together! We started the […]

easter scavenger hunt
I love Easter time! Spring air, new blooms, the promise of new life, it all makes me happy. Our family doesn’t have any Easter traditions yet, but as our kids get older I’m wanting to start some. To help, I decided to create a little Scavenger Hunt (it sounded more fun than “to-do list” š […]
galentineās dinner 2020
Mid-January I started playing around with the idea of hosting a Galentineās dinner. After lots of thinking and sending out some feelers, I made up some invites and sent them to my people. Naturally, not all could attend, but we had a good turnout and each lady walked away with a goodie that was donated […]

But ultimately, I hope you embrace the fierce, unwavering love of the Father. His love for […]
valentine gift ideas for your kidās friends + classmates (with 4 free printable valentines)
I remember making valentine cards for everyone in my class. I also remember attaching a piece of candy to it too. As a parent, Iām really not interested in spending money on candy. Iād much rather give our little friends something unique, fun and creative. Thatās why I think these Usborne goodies are worth investing […]
valentineās day book box
I love holidays! I also love how it sets a theme that transfers into decorating, finding crafts and books to go along with it. So when I saw Valentineās Day was next month, I instantly started dreaming. One of the things I dreamt up was a Valentineās Book Box for our littles. What fun to […]
merry christmas 2019
Christmas snuck up on me this year. I was so ready and excited for it before we moved and then Iām suddenly rushing to get my house ready to host, putting up any decorations I think Iām enjoying AND wrap gifts. Phew. But it was a lovely 24hours and Iām looking forward to sharing pieces […]
