Last August on almost the same date, I wrote a post called Walking. We were entering a new season with sending our oldest baby off to college and just trying to figure out what life was going to look like in many areas. We are slowly standing up, testing out our legs, wobbling, taking a […]

Projects and Paint
Happy Monday! The fall feeling is creeping in the air and we are clinging to the last bits of summer while we can! Next week we move two girls into their dorms. So thankful that their colleges are open and praying they stay that way! We’ve been working on some fun things around here lately. […]
House Goals 2020
Although the year is half over, I figured there’s still a few months left and why not have some goals for our new home? We’ve officially been in our home two months and honestly, it feels like it’s been longer than that. We’ve made some great friends in our new neighborhood, visited some great churches, […]
Island Dreams vs Reality

We’re Moving!
Nine years ago almost to the day, I posted on the blog that we were moving to Rochester Minnesota. Well, our family is on the move again, this time only about a little over an hour away. My husband accepted a new job a few weeks ago and will be working in Downtown Minneapolis a […]
Refreshing the Basement Bathroom
Back in January I decided it was time to update the bathroom in our basement level. Our girls use this bathroom and I try to avoid going down there because, well they are messy teenagers. I gave myself the goal to do it all for less than $100. We came in real close but I […]
2020 Word of the Year
Happy almost end of January! I always look forward to January and February as it is usually a slower time of the year where I can focus on my word for the year, read some books, journal, dig into my bible and just hunker down, refuel and rest. My word for 2019 was Light. In […]
