Tracking Blessings

  Each November, with our craft kit business, my daughter and I have created a way for our family and other families to name our blessings and count our thankfulness. In the past, this looks like putting our gratefulness into categories (food, necessities, people, places, etc.). We have used different shaped/colored card stock for each

Preschool at Home

  We are in a current state… of preschool! I am thrilled to begin this journey with my youngest. My thoughts were few, though, when it came to starting an actual activity list for an almost three-year-old. The good news is I have decided to keep it very simple! I have recently read multiple posts

After speaking with a few moms on the topic of scheduling, I thought it may be helpful to share what has worked

Summer Service

  What is your blessing location? The place where you live is what we like to call our blessing location. Where has your family been placed in order to serve others? Sometimes we need to find fresh purpose in our living circumstances and in those around us. For our family, we have been placed in

Get Up and Move!

  I’ve never been an exercise junkie. I have friends that are avid runners, pro hikers, and even cyclers. Our family enjoys being active though, just as a family instead of separate pursuits.  While we love the outdoors when possible, many day to day factors may keep us indoors. So it has always been a

Piles of Learning

  I happen to be one of those mamas that thoroughly enjoys reclining at the end of a long day of cleaning to enjoy a spotless house.  Of course, this will only occur for 5-10 minutes before the next toy box dump or full sink of dishes starts all over again!  As moms, we need

Making Preparations Is Better Than Making Plans

  We all know that we could plan every detail of our lives, and it would do no good.  Flexibility is really a vital part of survival in this life at home, in school, with life circumstances, and even a grocery store run!  Although we need to be cautious to not make too many plans,
