That’s how old I was when I got married. Boy, {I} was young! Yesterday I marked the milestone of being married for 17 years and 23 days. I can now officially say I have been married for half of my life! Look how far we’ve come. Here’s to many more years together with my one […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Ma, Marme, or Mother?
What fictional character do you identify the most with? I put this question to my older girls asking them what fictional character I remind them of the most. Here’s how the conversation went down {to the best of my memory}. Bon Bon: Ma. Semisweet and Brownie: Ma? Bon Bon: Yeah, you know Ma Kettle. Me: […]

About Me
I think I’ve been agonizing too much over what to write for an about me page. Consequently I’ve been putting it off. Now I have forced myself to sit and write until it is done, using an old post for inspiration. Who am I? I am… . . . a baby when I hold a […]
Printable Perpetual Calendar – thankful scripture verses
Is January 6th to late to post a printable perpetual calendar? I didn’t think so. Perpetual calendars are great for just keeping track of birthdays, anniversaries, and other special dates without having to transfer those to a new calendar each year. While these can be used in the traditional way, I created these two perpetual […]
Eucharisteo
{early morning light in my daughter’s bedroom} For the last few months I have been on a personal journey. I’ve realized this is the only real ‘goal’ I want to carry forward going into the new year. Not because I don’t want to accomplish other things or better myself but because this one thing has […]
Flying High
On Saturday I had the unexpected opportunity to ride in a small airplane over our valley. I am terrified of heights but surprisingly was not afraid to fly in this tiny little thing. It was a lot of fun! My only remorse is I forgot to get a picture of my four younger children (Special […]

Christmas Traditions: Gingerbread Houses

Christmas Traditions: Advent Calendar
This advent calendar was made by my dad several years ago. He used wooden office supply drawers typically used for the top of desks, attached knobs to the fronts of each drawer and then numbered and decorated them to match our tastes. If you look closely you can see our brand. The first year Grandma […]
Christmas Traditions: Music {Giveaway}
It’s no secret I grew up surrounded by music. My parents made sure we all took piano lessons. My dad played the guitar and would serenade us to sleep in the evenings. It was his way to relax after a stressful day but it was also wonderful for us. We loved to sing together. I […]
