A Few People I Love...

Hey all! I just wanted to fill you in on a few exciting things going on in the world of those I love :) I'll start off with our sweet nanny Kelsey. She has been in Haiti for the last week and will return tomorrow. We have been so blessed to have another pair of hands in the dishwater and another heart that loves us as a family and I can't say how proud I am of her love for the Lord. I have prayed and prayed for this trip and can't wait for her to return...please pray that she will be home saf...

Pillar

I sat completely upright, eyes staring at him while I moved food around my plate nervously.

It was our first date and I had decided I was going to marry him. He ordered (delicious) soup for me and opened the car door when I got in and when I got out. I wanted to impress him but I choked on my words as I tried to come up with something less desperate than "Elope or have a wedding?"

Because that's not always a good first date plan.

His eyes lit up as he shared a story he had heard about a little g...

Radical

I may be the last person in the free world to read this book, so it might not matter that I'm about to go hog-wild recommending it.

I'm only a few chapters into Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
and I can tell you it is HUGELY impacting and challenging me.

If you haven't read it, you need to. And if you have, I would love to know how it has changed the way you live out your faith. Would you share with me and inspire us all? Feel free to leave it in the comments or email me ...

Lamb

It won't come as a surprise to most of you that I'm a little Type A about things. Not even important things, necessarily. For example, I can't keep all the dog hair off the ground but if a recipe calls for a teaspoon, it's painful for me to try and "guesstimate" without the actual measuring spoon. Weird, I know.

Last week I had an epiphany about my prayer life and it's probably going to look pitiful on paper but it really did make a big difference to me and I want to share it in the event that...

Need A Good Laugh?

My dad sent these to me tonight and I thought they were pretty funny...hope you get a good laugh and feel free to leave your own "kid quotes" in the comments!!! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend...

Learning On A Quilt

Well the Smith family is about to go on another school-year adventure. I'm so excited to dig in to the new stuff we got this year and also to invite you all to share your classrooms with us! I have gotten so many emails through the past few years asking about my homeschooling and I haven't done a great job of sharing on here, so I'll just tell you a little about where we are now.

I started Kindergarten with Abby and Ellie and used Sonlight. I liked it a lot but was still on the hunt. As a firs...

Boxes

They're everywhere. And I am really trying to avoid the fact that they aren't unpacking themselves.

The important thing is that we are in our new house, and as I type Todd is reading Bible stories to the girls (Abby, Ellie and Kate are sharing a room) while Charlotte is quiet.

That last part is noteworthy.

Some days are better than others but in general she just has a hard time around feeding. She has reflux but the suggestions I got from the doctor don't seem to be helping and it stinks to see ...

A Few Things...

I am so glad you loved those photos as much as I did!!! I have had several people comment about what a precious idea it was to have the pitcher with the cherry blossoms and the bunny, and I wanted to make sure I told you that I had nothing to do with it!!! Tammi was the creative bug and I just stood in about 2 feet of grass while mosquitos bit me to pieces.  Several people asked if Abby had already broken her arm and the answer is yes! Once again, creativity at its finest :) She didn't have t...

More Than Words

I think you'll agree that it's a good thing I inherited Tammi as a friend. She and Todd have known eachother since Junior High..back in the days when Todd wore clothes from Oaktree and rocked the mullet and thick gold chain combo. 
Let me catch my breath before I go on.
The images, they haunt me.
Despite his fashion sense, Todd was able to make a lot of great friends that I now have the benefit of knowing, and Tammi is one of them. If you are a member of Bloom, Tammi is the one who originally...
