This is another past from last year. My family was talking about this incident the other day and I remembered I had written about, so I sent out to find it. Here it is. April 2019: “If you were to guess that’s flour that Deacon is playing with, you’d be correct. I guess that was …
I have recently been going through some old files and I found quite a few blog posts that I have written throughout the past year, and for one reason or another, I never published them. But now I want to. So throughout my next few posts, some older ones will be peppered through. March 2019: …
I try to get our three-year-old, Deacon, cooking in the kitchen with me as often as I can. I try to give him simple tasks such as stirring and pouring, but sometimes something as difficult as breaking an egg. However hard his task is, it’s so exciting to see his pride in helping with whatever …

From the moment years ago that I saw the tradition of wrapping 24 Christmas books and opening one a day until Christmas, I knew that was something I wanted to do someday. Well, that someday is here! I started accumulating these books a few years ago when we were in the thick of our infertility …
Our tree is definitely on the sparse side. We didn’t pay a lot for our tree, and well, like they say, you get what you pay for. But I discovered a few decorating tricks that I implemented into my tree to help it look not so bare, and in this video I’m excited to show …
