Loving God, people, and life. Momma of many, including one with Down Syndrome.
Welcome to our date night. We’re talking about spending time together, my first time in the South, health care, and voice fry. I can’t say we’ve ever invited this many people on one of our dates before! I loved our trip to Atlanta! Present (affiliate link) Vocal Fry with Faith Salie The […]
Father’s Day, soon after our move Well, we moved. Again. And not by choice. But here we are now in our suburban neighborhood rental home and I still feel a bit discombobulated and unsure of what I’m supposed to be doing now in this season. A decade of pursuing a real homestead…to a couple […]
OR….Five Things You Already Know But Need To Hear (Again) Well, it was pretty fun to ride my bicycle to our mobile library, climb aboard the bus, and *gasp* see MY BOOK ON THE SHELF!! I admit I took it off the shelf, looked at how many times it had been stamped (two), […]

Thank you […]
For this episode, Tom put ME in the hot seat for an interview about the book, Present. I had no idea what he was going to ask! But we once again put the kids outside to play and paused for passing Harleys so that we could do this recording. Sometimes, we sure miss our old […]
You never know what you’re going to find when you’re decluttering! Here is a talk that my husband gave to some men at our church, back when we were in the McMansion, a year and a half in…and waiting for baby #5. Very interesting to hear where we were at then compared to now…and I’m […]
The decluttering continues!

I know that this is for certain happening for me and […]
