Build: Five Minute Friday

I’m getting my butt kicked by my February schedule. Can you relate? For some reason I keep double-booking myself even with my efforts to keep a bullet journal. There just isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done. That’s why it is even more important than ever to build into that schedule someContinue reading “Build: Five Minute Friday”

We Escaped!

1 Murder+3 Suspects+6 Friends+2 Strangers+60 minutes= a lot of fun and laughs (and a wrongly convicted murderer) If you have never gone to an escape room you are missing out. Some of our friends had a Groupon for Lockology Columbus Escape Room and invited us to join them. It was a blast.  Aside from theContinue reading “We Escaped!”

Where: Five Minute Friday

I’m snowed in for another day in Ohio. I would be going stir crazy if it wasn’t for the week I’ve had. Today I am thankful for more time at home. On Tuesday I awoke to my 11 month old having a seizure. SCARIEST FIVE MINUTES OF MY LIFE! The moments that followed her seizureContinue reading “Where: Five Minute Friday”

Cookies for Kairos

Serving alongside my family is one of my favorite things to do. Over the past week I’ve had several opportunities to work in the kitchen with both my true family and church family. Since last Sunday I’ve been blessed to be a part of the process of baking close to 200 dozen cookies for theContinue reading “Cookies for Kairos”

She Got Game

The anthem of my winter will be squeaking shoes and whistle blows. It will be the chant of the ball as it bounces atop the hardwood. It’s the call of “I’m open” and the family surrounding me on the bleachers where I will always be her number one fan. We are starting our third yearContinue reading “She Got Game”

Family Photo Session

Thanks to a friend from The Mund Life Photography our family was able to get some awesome pictures over the holidays. It was time to update our family shots since our oldest was a bald baby approaching her first birthday in the most recent photos. I wanted a canvas this year of all FOUR ofContinue reading “Family Photo Session”

Better: Five Minute Friday

I’m kicking off my 2019 FMF streak with a late post. In Ohio, I spent my Friday preparing for the imminent arrival of this weekend’s snowpocalypse. After school yesterday I joined the rest of the state at the grocery store stocking up on necessities. If you want to join in on the weekly fun overContinue reading “Better: Five Minute Friday”

The Faith of a Child

Last Sunday as we were headed home from church my oldest daughter and I somehow landed on the topic of baptism. On a few occasions she witnessed others within our church as they declared to the congregation their new life in Christ. Her curious mind probed my husband and I, but before long she litContinue reading “The Faith of a Child”

One: Five Minute Friday

Happy Friday! I can’t believe how quickly the weeks are passing. I feel like I just crafted last week’s post and here I am waking up to the excitement of joining my fellow writers for another edition of Five Minute Friday. This week our prompt is One. Over the past eight and a half monthsContinue reading “One: Five Minute Friday”

Operation Christmas Child is an international organization that provides financial and physical needs all over the world. It is a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, an interdenominational charity. This is the twenty-fifth year that OCC has impacted global needs. I love this organization and how easy they make it to teach my children about the importanceContinue reading “Operation Christmas Child”
