The last lunch has been packed. There is only one last uniform to wear. I’d just like to take the time to say Thank You to God for another wonderful year. With each new school year, I’ve got so much excitement. I know what’s coming. I see the potential. The learning, friendships, and guidance. And as I look back I continue to marvel at how … Continue reading Thank You God for Another School Year
Race review time! Last month I ran in my first Star Wars Half Marathon and I was not prepared for how awesome it would be! The expo started on Thursday and for those who have never participated in a Disney or race expo, it is huge!

Well the holidays are winding down and I’m sure, like you, they were a good mix of festivity, family, and cray cray. I had such good intentions of catching up here (four different article starts to be exact) but between the Christmas cards, cookie baking, and holiday merriment, life got away with me. Now that I’ve caught a moment to breathe, I’ve been thinking back … Continue reading THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!

Fall is here!!! Yes!!!! It occurred to me as Labor Day was upon us that we had actually made it through this summer’s church services. To take you back a bit…I realized as June began that the church would be stopping nursery services for the little ones for the summer. That meant we would have to pull out our absolute “A game” for summer church … Continue reading Praise God! (We made it through summer)
It seems pretty simple when you are from the north. You hear a hurricane is coming and think “get out people!” But the reality is much more complicated and I thought it might be insightful to give you a look into our Hurricane Irma experience. This is our third year in Florida and Irma was definitely the most fierce hurricane we’ve been in to date. … Continue reading Riding Out the Storm: Hurricane Irma
I was cleaning off my fridge this past week after I bought some new clip magnets from Target (woo!) for the upcoming school year. I took down pictures and artwork that had accumulated and then I stopped at one item in particular. After looking at the picture since November 2015, I finally felt I had the strength to take it down. It’s not a spectacular … Continue reading Goodbye Depression
With summer here we’ve got a bit more time each night in bed to get extra snuggles in. I’m always on the lookout for some good bedtime songs and thought I’d share mine with you. More often than not, I’ll start off with “Down in the River to Pray” from O Brother Where Art Thou? I typically sing half the song as it can get … Continue reading Bedtime Lullabies
