“Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people….
I make most everything from scratch so I don’t think much of it to be honest. Yet, after a half dozen messages requesting our cinnamon roll recipe came in replying to Friday’s Instagram story with cinnamon rolls in the background, I figured I should just share it here instead of continuing to send a photo…
It’s back to school time again and although it looks different for many, it looks the same to us. We’re continuing our homeschool journey and to be honest, I’ve never been more grateful considering we aren’t forced into a new transition like many are.

The past couple months I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the world we’re raising our children up in right now. The chaos, the turmoil, the government overreach. Sometimes I let my mind entertain fear but instead flip it on its head and choose faith. I lean into the appreciation that my eyes were…
My heart overflowed with joy tonight. The sounds of their shrieks and giggles of pure joy could have lit up the whole city tonight when we surprised them with a trip to the park. The parks reopened here this week and we made sure to go tonight. The kids needed the normalcy and reminder that…
