    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.…

  • A Rainy July and a New Habit

    Hey friends, and happy Thursday. I hope you have an amazing day ahead of you. It has been raining over here, which is wonderful. After almost a month of very high temperatures, the heat has finally broken. When it’s not raining, I’ve spent a lot of time outside. I’m starting to get my homeschool plans…

  • No. 15: Notes from Home | Changes in May

    This week has been so wet. Not only has it been wet, but severe storms have rolled through. On Thursday night, we were up pretty late as we were notified of tornado warnings in our area. We kept a close eye on the cells, which were just south of us. Then around 6 am, we…
