We went on our first big family trip last week! Seth’s firm had their partner retreat in Chicago and, after missing it last year because my foolish husband thought I’d be bored, I wasn’t about to let having a baby get in the way. It’s hard to get bored in a swanky hotel that is…
I’ve been thinking about community lately and what it means. Last Friday, our women’s fellowship leader made the point, “You can’t have community without knowing someone’s name.” It suddenly dawned on my why I make Bird Rock Coffee Roasters my goal distance marker when it’s my day to take Patch on a walk. It’s a…

Not to get a big head, but I’m probably an answer to his prayers! ;)

Her momma started calling her “little honey bee” before she even had a name. Funny enough, this nickname ended up being a precursor to this little baby’s real name, Maya. Like so many other couples, Alli and Louis couldn’t agree on a name. Alli was really drawn to the name Maya, but Louis just wasn’t convinced that was the name…

Braeden smiled and proceeded to delicately draw lines in the white crystals before licking his index finger. “It’s a trick my mom taught me,” she explained. Trick? More like magic spell. Braeden entertained himself this…
Holly from 300 Pounds Down - I wish I had a helpful comment but I don’t. I avoided flying as much as possible when they were little. When they got older they mostly threw up on take off. My oldest threw up on the person next to us wearing an expensive jacket. So I guess I have nothing to say but I still had to comment on how CUTE your baby is!! ADORABLE!

Here’s a little something to make the trip sweeter.”
