Home Sweet Home

Yep, that’s us at our finest! Who knew doing photo booths were so difficult? I mean we literally didn’t have one picture where one person wasn’t laughing or the other didn’t have their eyes half closed…but I love this picture. That really is us the majority of the time. We got back from Georgia Saturday morning around 2:00am and I can’t tell you how exhausted and relieved I was to sleep in my own bed. It was also hubs birthday and we enjoyed a quiet breakfast and then went to pick up little one at my mom’s house. We’ve pretty much been attached at the hip since then. I don’t know if I’ll be leaving him any time soon (I think it was harder on me than him – he definitely lived the life with grandma).

On tonight’s list is laundry and several mug orders to go out. Thank you so much for your purchases they really do mean the world to me! I love the handmade community and can’t wait to celebrate it all the way through Christmas (check out my Handmade Holiday post).

It’s only a few weeks to Halloween and I have a few d.i.y.’s coming up this week. I’m in need of a cool costume for love bug and I have a few projects I’ve been brainstorming that include some spray paint and twine! We shall see where the week takes us, and I’m hoping to share this awesome bar stool d.i.y. I’ve been planning up for my kitchen!

  • 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

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.

Wow 2016. Loving this trend

In the thick of parenting two under five.
Blogging as an outlet and genuine joy.
Left my full-time to become a teacher (I loved teaching).
Struggling to figure out ministry, marriage, and myself.
Connecting with so many other moms here that I still know today ❤️

What a time… #2016 #timeflies
