On November 30, 2009, my life changed forever. My brother died by suicide in a very gruesome, traumatic way. My mental health was never the same. I was…

Continue reading →: A Full 360I have whiplash. Things have changed again. A full 360 I guess you could say. We will be homeschooling one of my kiddos after all. We gave him a chance to try school again, and it didn’t go well at all. It has been chaotic from day 1, and we…

Continue reading →: “Miracles Happen When You Move”We recently started going to a new church. I never thought I would end up back in a Baptist church, but here we are. I have such a history with the Southern Baptist denomination, and it’s almost a little scary stepping back into one. We loved our church before, but…

Aha Moments + Figuring Out Who I Am
Continue reading →: Aha Moments + Figuring Out Who I AmI feel like I’m learning something new everyday… either about myself, about others around me, or about life in general. I guess that’s semi-normal, BUT I am a super reflective person so it’s just a constant thing for me. It can be a blessing and a curse. I am ALWAYS…

Continue reading →: Homemade Sourdough (Updated)I have mentioned before that this is NOT a food blog, and I do not have the printable recipe cards (they are only included in the most expensive plan, and I just cannot afford that since I make nothing off of this blog). So, this is just the best that…

Continue reading →: Healing Through Being Wild and FreeMy family and two other families at camp went to the Gila National Forest to camp for 5 days (well I guess technically 3 because a day of driving on both ends). The purpose of this trip was to do some research and development for a trip that Robert is…
