    Pieces of My Week | December 12, 2025

    Happy Friday, friends! Ah, we’ve made it to the end of the week. I hope it’s been a very good one for you. I thought I’d share a little bit about what I’ve been up to today. I’m thoroughly enjoying the long dark nights, along with the crisp, bright days of winter that we’ve been…

  • I’ve Been So Busy…

    I’ve Been So Busy…

    Hello, friends! Whew, the last few months have flown by like a whirlwind! I’m afraid I’ve overextended myself once our homeschool year began. I’m starting to find my bearings, and the past week or two have gone a little smoother. While homeschooling is going well, it’s taking up a lot of my time this year.…

    A New Direction

    Hello friends, welcome to my blog today. I’m so glad you’re here! Life is so rich, and full of possibilities. It is always full of surprises. And today I thought I’d share a little bit about what’s been going on in my life behind the scenes. I’ve hesitated to share too openly about my faith…

    Hey friends, and welcome to the blog! I’m so glad you’re here. Boy, have I been busy lately. But hopefully, that will change soon. I mean, I like to be busy, but not too busy. It all started when I decided to open another little shop inside of Sweet Maple, which is a vintage and…

    Happy Sunday, friends! I’m excited about today. Easter baskets are set out for my children, and we plan to have an egg hunt soon. Oh, and we possibly will color eggs. It should be a very fun Easter. I came home last night with the surprise of a few new books to study in the…

    A Kindle Freebie + A Few Photos from Our Beach Trip

    Hey friends, and welcome to the blog! I hope you’ve had a good week. We returned home from a short beach vacation a few days ago, and I’m still trying to get back into our regular schedule. Hopefully, next week will feel more “normal.” But our trip was so much fun, and very worth the…

    Glimmers of Hope + Some Bookish News

    Ooh, it’s been a doozy of a week. Our living room has nearly been converted to a hospital. We are all down (except for my husband), but I see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. A few of my children are feeling better, which is awesome. I was the last…

  • How My Year Went + What’s to Come

    How My Year Went + What’s to Come

    2024 has been a good year. It hasn’t been perfect, but I’d definitely call it good. I’ve learned so much, and have grown as a person. I’ve discovered that life is about growth. A lot of times, this growth happens spirally. I learn more about myself, and feel like I’m headed in a straight trajectory.…
