Time is going so quickly. Can you relate? Nothing makes you feel the years slipping by quite as much as having a high schooler. As I process my kids quickly getting older, it has me reflecting on what things I do with my time, how we interact as a family, making memories, and doing things that make our spirits full of purpose and JOY. Two things that I love are playing with my family and being in nature. There is something so special when that combination intersects. Times slows Continue Reading
The shop is open!
It's been almost 12 years since this blog was born. It began in the spring of 2009, as a way to update our extended family on our young, growing family.

I do create goals each year, but the bigger thing for me is picking one word that represents my priority and focus for the year. I like that Continue Reading
Eddy’s Postcard Series: Please, never grow up Snow White
If you are just joining this series for the first time, you can read the heart about it here. There are moments that happen through the day that are just normal. They are my everyday. For example, it is not unusual for my little girl to be dressed up as a princess and either be wrestling with her brothers or crafting at the same time. Although this is a normal moment, it's one that I never want to forget. Someday I will look back at these sweet moments in time and smile through teary eyes Continue Reading
