Family | Easter Sunday

Our Easter Sunday gathering was full of laughs, egg hunting, and so much quality time my love tank is bursting at the seams. The amount of warmth in the house was rather aromatic and tangible when you moved the right way. When Mike and I prayed for a home, this was one of our main desires. To share our space all the while demonstrating to our kids about the importance of community, friendship, and family.

We invited family and friends with no strings attached, just to come and enjoy themselves. So we left the door open and this was a glimpse into our Easter Sunday.

I was completely into making the experience wonderful for everyone. I even made gift bags (thanks Pinterest!) and ensured that everyone took as much candy as possible…because you need endless candy. Mike took on the egg hunt which was perfect, because every kid filled their baskets to the absolute brim! Everyone voted that this must become an annual thing.

These are the boys’ cousins (minus two more boys – it’s all boys haha!). They bring me so much joy and I continue to grow in my gratefulness of this developing legacy. They are kind, hilarious, strong, and so much more. I couldn’t have thought of anyone better to give our best to.

I hope your Easter was full of what makes you most happy and satisfied deep within. The best part was this was the least stressful prep for a gathering I’ve done in a long time! I had a blast before, during, and after. That was a big personal win for me…looking forward to more of this.

  • This time last year, the Lord started challenging the thought of pausing our homeschooling journey. Honestly… I wasn’t happy about it because it wasn’t part of my plan. Even the kids weren’t fully on board at first. 🥹

If I’m being honest, part of me felt like I was losing. Homeschooling isn’t easy, and after years of pouring into our kids, I wrestled with whether putting them in school meant I had somehow failed them.

But somehow through all the emotions, questions, and transitions, we made it through their first year in school.

And wow… proud is an understatement.

Each of them shattered every stereotype people love to place on homeschooled kids. They shined bright, made meaningful friendships, adapted with courage, and walked into new spaces fully themselves.

This year reminded me that what is poured into our kids at home goes with them wherever they go. Everything we’ve prayed over them, spoken over them, and believed about them showed up in real time.

Watching them succeed didn’t make me feel like I had failed. It reminded me that this season wasn’t the end of something. It was evidence that God had been faithful through all of it. ❤️

  • It’s only fitting to have an interview with the Champion 😂 - just in case you’re ready to enter into the pencil fighting ring one day 👀
  • Learned how to pencil fight from what appears to be a retired middle school pencil-fighting champion. His technique was oddly specific… like this man definitely had a reputation in 7th grade 😂✏️

  • Random Friday thoughts… because I can’t shop anyone’s like it at this point 😒
  • Someone recently asked me when I realized I had experienced agape love… and honestly, my first thought was my mom and my sister.

Life has held its share of complicated chapters, and I know what it’s like to navigate distance and hard seasons. Getting older and healing has a way of adjusting the lens. Hindsight really does show you the gifts that were there all along.

This weekend we celebrated my sister’s birthday, and looking back at this photo of us as kids, I’m reminded how precious it is to grow up and realize your big sister is truly your best friend.

Some love doesn’t need to be loud to be deep. I’m really grateful. #sistersister
