Collage Friday: A Little Bit of Everything
What a week. Feels good to take a breather and look back on our week. One of my favorite posts each week is Collage Friday with Homegrown Learners and My Home Sweet Home. (1) The boys watch the deer out in our front yard each morning and wave. (2) We had a special birthday this week! Our oldest turned 6 and what birthday is complete without a special chair to show for it? (3) What a long day our little guy had! After playing with friends all day, he zonked out in the recliner. (4) ...

Collage Friday: A Busy Week
Though the pictures don't show all of our busy week, this has been one of the busiest weeks we've had in a while. The week didn't have a good start to it. All four of us were sick in bed, with the stomach bug for 24 hours. It's not fun when you're sick, and especially when your kids are sick as well. Besides our tummy bug, we've been busy preparing for a baby shower that I'm hosting Saturday at my house, mourning the loss of a friend who passed away this week, making it to doctors appointments, ...
Love 41 {giveaway}
Love 41 is one of my favorite businesses. All their proceeds go towards orphans, widows, and street kids. If ya'll know me even just a little bit, these three things are so dear to my heart. {We are adopting from Uganda!} What is the Love 41 story? In the summer of 2010 our family took a trip to Rwanda. We planned the trip after Africa New Life Ministries invited us over to see what they were doing. Little did we know, this not only would be the trip responsible for Love 41 but ...

A New Season For Me
The new year has already brought about some pretty big changes in my life. Many of you know I co-founded Hip Homeschool Moms with a dear friend of mine, Sue. What started out as just a Facebook group, it turned into something much bigger so quickly. Definitely not something to complain about, but something we weren't expecting at all. Over the past 18 months or so, we've made some amazing friendships through Hip Homeschool Moms and have loved every minute of building a team and getting "Hip" ...
