3 little green thumbs

One of the highlights of our Ohio summer is being a part of the process of taking care of my parents garden. We missed the planting part and I can’t say we’ve done the much weeding BUT we have done some watering and we are ALL about pickin’ the goodies! I also love thinking that […]

5 on Friday

It’s been awhile but here are 5 snippets from us. 1. We took the kids to see Dispicable Me today. It was our first family movie and it went really good. Minus the part when Kaia was climbing the stairs up and down, counting all the way and when I found Theia lying belly down […]

Doing life every which way.

We moved from our home about 6 weeks ago. I can’t believe it’s been that long! We settled into life pretty quickly in Ohio with my family. We found a routine that works for us, at least for the summer. Then Brian and I left for Jamaica and the kids stayed with my mom and […]

And we are back!

We have been busy over here. Here is what we’ve been up to! 1. T-ball season has started and Mason is so excited because he not only gets to play on a real team but he gets to do with it his cousin Austin. Wow. Can’t say that I ever thought I would see the […]

Jesus in a swimsuit.

Mason asked me this on our way to swimming tonight: “Mom did Jesus have to wear a swimsuit when he walked on water?” “ummmm…no.” Profound. Isn’t he? Always thinking. Always thinking:) But if Jesus did wear a swimsuit maybe something like these?

Strawberries!

On Friday we made strawberry jam from strawberries handpicked by mom that morning. We all had aprons on and we went to town mashing them. That was definitely the kids favorite part…that and eating what they were smashing. The recipe was super easy. Just add a packet of pectin and some a lot of sugar […]
