  • Fearless Faith: Lesson Learned from a 3 Year Old

    Fearless Faith? Isn’t faith void of fear? Maybe for you, but for me, faith is more like looking down at a canyon bottom knowing the only way to cross is to jump, believing I can make it–if I can work up the courage, but so scared to try.   As…

  • Fun Project Friday! Sea Salt Painting!

    Sea Salt Sensations! Getting Crafty with the kiddos! It’s been a consistent goal of mine to be more intentional with how I interact with my kiddos.

  • Show Some Lunch Box Lovin’

  • Raising Little Boys…

    My little boy started 2nd grade this week…sniff, sniff, tear, tear. Where did the time go? It’s strange for him to be seven. In ten years he will be a Senior, applying to colleges, driving (YIKES), maybe even dating (I will highly discourage this…any girl interested will have to apply…
