As of today I’m 31 weeks pregnant with baby 4. Even though this is my 4th pregnancy nothing about a pregnancy is boring. Each time I’ve been pregnant I am amazed at this creation of new life that is forming within my body and how the female body is designed to transform during this journey….
It’s that time of the year that I start panicking about Christmas gifts and cards and decorations and all that accompanies the Holiday season. However, of the last few years I’m learning that sometimes gift giving can be as simple as a picture. Photo Christmas cards are beloved by our family members, especially when they…

Jude(6) loves this game because it requires keen visual perception, strategy and basic arithmetic and of course because…
One of the challenges I face with Homeschooling Jude is his insatiable appetite for learning. He needs to be constantly consuming or regurgitation information almost constantly. I think it’s awesome that he loves to learn but it can also become burdensome when I also have to keep 2 toddlers entertained. So we have started to…
We’re about halfway through our 1st week of homeschool. I’m still waiting on some of our curriculum that I ordered to arrive, in the meantime I’m improvising. Everyday I have Jude work on reading, writing, spelling, and math then we just sort of wing it. I’m hoping to get connected with a local Classical Conversations…
