Ocean Felt Play Mat {free pattern}

We’ve got a long car ride in our near future and I find myself sorely lacking in tricks to pull out of my sleeve to keep the bickering at bay.  One of my solutions was to make a felt play mat (or two) to help entertain our animal-loving boy. I drew a simple pattern, which you can download below, and […]

Dear Elijah

Dear Elijah, Baby boy, I want to remember every detail of this week.  After so many difficulties in getting you here, after setbacks and heartbreaks and disappointments, we are finally done.  You are officially ours!  It feels like you’ve been with us all along now; funny how that works.  It’s hard to imagine our lives without your huge grin, your […]

I’m linking up with Modern Mrs. Darcy today to share the books I’ve been reading lately.  Head on over to her post to find more recommendations.  I always leave with a list as long as my arm 🙂 Call the Midwife Love, love, love!  I was so delighted to discover that one of my favorite TV shows is based on […]

Words For Your Weekend::Faith

“You can have clear faith in the ultimate outcomes at the end of the trail but still find vexing uncertainties in the steps immediately ahead.  The Lord knows the end from the beginning and everything in between.  You, however, function in the muddled, mortal middle.” Neal A. Maxwell I ran across this quote in my studies this week and love […]

“Lucky”

As we are drawing closer to finalizing Elijah’s adoption (just 22 days now!) my mind has been flooded with memories of the other times in my life when I’ve felt so lucky. We didn’t know it at the time, but having a biological child should not have been able to happen for us. Logically and medically speaking, that is. Knowing […]

How We Homeschool: Scripture Study

One of the most frequent comments I receive when people learn that we homeschool is along these lines: “I don’t know how you can do that!” or “I would love to homeschool, but I don’t think I could do it.”  I want to give you a glimpse of how we homeschool, not because what we do is the one right […]

Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan Totally engrossing.  Cahalan writes in a very approachable manner, so I found even the medical descriptions in this book fascinating. How She Does It by Anne Bogel A quick, inspiring read by our own Modern Mrs. Darcy.  Reading this book inspired me to recommit myself to making my creative dreams a reality.  (Thank you, Anne!) […]

LDS Primary Copywork {free printable packet}

I have a strong desire to fill my children up with beautiful words.  Those words enter our home in many ways:  read-alouds, personal reading, family scripture study, quotes and encouragements hanging on the walls, audiobooks, the lyrics of favorite music. One of my favorite ways to fill their heads with beauty is through copywork. (If you’re wondering what copywork is, this […]

Jesus Christ Flipbook {FREE quiet book printable}

This boy.   He’s hilarious and fun and one of my favorite people on earth.  But he is NOT good at sitting still for long periods of time.  I think it may have something to do with being 5 years old. Perhaps you have someone in your house who has the same difficulty? He is the inspiration for a little project […]
