Teach them to love Jesus, learning, adventure, and each other.
As a homeschooler, I was allowed to join the track and field day at the nearby school every year. The day was filled with obstacle courses, relays, running races, and a celebratory box of 2 in 1 flavoured Nerds to consume on the bus ride home. I loved every part of that day except for...

I clicked the submit button. The confirmation email that shortly followed confirmed we were on the waitlist for the fall. But isn't it funny how sometimes you can get surprised by things in life? I was surprised when I got an email saying that three of my boys could start immediately at the one-day-a-week school... Continue Reading →
"How is it Christmas already? I feel like this year went by really fast!" Someone exclaimed last week. Did you feel that too? Most of us felt that way at our house this year. It's our first Christmas in this house, yet shortly after every move we've ever made, the figuring out 'of where to... Continue Reading →
I love walking, like, so much. I don’t deal with traffic when I walk. I know exactly how long it’ll take me to get everywhere, and I love the feeling of my legs making the long strides to get me where I need to be. I LOVE stopping and looking at beautiful stuff along the... Continue Reading →
I have a friend who is creative and artistic in all that she does, even her sheet pan dinners come out looking like an art project. Last year I sent her a screenshot of a verse and said, "If you ever make this into a canvas, I'll be your first customer!" A week later on... Continue Reading →
“Happy New year!” The text from my sister read. Exploding balloons and streamer emojis flew across the screen, reminding me that phones have come such a long way. I messaged back. “2022? I can barely believe it.” I mean, it did just feel like we were waiting for 1999 to roll into 2000. I remember... Continue Reading →
It was October 7. A text came through early in the morning from a dear friend that read: “One year ago today. I have it in my prayer journal - you told me, thyroid cancer.” A whole year. I’m glad I didn’t miss it because I love remembering days on the calendar. Like the birthdays... Continue Reading →
"Mom, can I eat these?!" He asked, his hand still inside the cupboard grasping a bag of goldfish crackers. "No way man, those are for Sunday." I said, shaking my head. In our experience, goldfish crackers have been a snack staple in Sunday school classrooms since the dawn of time. But, remember when life came... Continue Reading →
I had a whole body scan done after my radioactive iodine treatment. That's standard procedure. They were supposed to call me within 3-5 business days with the results. It was either going to be, 'The future is bright, we think the disease is gone,' OR, 'Unfortunately it’s spread... stay tuned for further instructions.' Firstly, Amazon... Continue Reading →
"We found cancer in four of your lymph nodes, so we're recommending radioactive iodine comes next." The doctor had said. It's the common second step for people with thyroid cancer. Step one is to get that cancer riddled thyroid out of your neck, and then step two is to swallow radioactive iodine to destroy any... Continue Reading →
