Merry Christmas!
On this day that is very focused on gifts, let’s take a moment and remember he greatest gift ever given-Jesus! Here are a couple verses our family has learned and meditated on this Christmas season. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be […]
Christmasing Along Together
There’s no doubt that this family has taken advantage of every opportunity to celebrate Christmas this year. We’ve baked cookies, attended parties, bought and crafted ornaments, and prepared and wrapped gifts. We’ve cut down our tree and trimmed it. The Elves have brought their mischief. Santa has been visited (three times!). We’ve decorated our church […]
A Stocking For Asher
I was so thankful this year when I unpacked our Christmas things and I found leftover Christmas fabric from the stockings I had made a couple years ago. More than enough was there to make Ash a stocking. In less than an hour I whipped up his very own stocking that fits perfectly with the […]
Trimming the Tree
Our little tree was a challenge this year. Florida Christmas trees are small and do not have sturdy branches. That didn’t stop us from having a fantastic time decorating.
Tree Farm
In Florida, a true cut-your-own Christmas tree farm is hard to come by. There was only one that I could find in all of Florida. Lately I have been feeling like the more family adventures we can go on, the better. So naturally we trekked off to this farm. The two hour drive didn’t seem […]
Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day, my friends! Today I am thankful for my Mother, mother-in-law, and stepmom. God has blessed me beyond words with these three ladies, beautiful both inside and out. I love them all so much. But to my own mama, I am so grateful to you for raising me in the name of Jesus. […]
Happy Birth of Our Savior Day!
Merry Christmas to you and those who are special to you! May the your heart be filled with peace as we celebrate this day.
Christmas Eve
It’s finally here! If your kids are like mine, they are just about losing it with excitement. And in a couple cases over here there was some actual losing it that occurred. It’s hard to be little and tired and ready for that jolly big guy to leave your heart’s one true desire in your living […]
Christmas Traditions
We all have them-those special things we do each year that give us the warm fuzzies and remind us that it’s Christmas time! I’m sure many of us share some of the same traditions. We decorate our Christmas trees, sing Christmas carols (sometimes off key), bake yummy treats, and prepare gifts for our nearest and […]
Elfin Magic
This is our first year with the elves. They came to us a couple weeks ago and actually rode in on the train that skirts our tree. Twinkle and Sprinkle are their names, and they came with a note explaining that they might find themselves in bits of mischief. Here is some of the mischief […]
