Another crazy week. Sometimes I miss those days when a schedule was king and the kids went to bed at 7:00 p.m. and life was just so much simpler. At the same time, I'm happy that I now have the freedom to leave the house without children and go take pictures. July 3 - Drying... Continue Reading →
It was a busy week prepping for company and then doing three day trips to various locations near our house. The temperature steadily rose this week and it was almost 100º yesterday. We need rain so badly here so please pray that we would receive rain in the next week. Our grass is brown brown,... Continue Reading →
Routine. That is what this week felt like. Our kids were finished school and I worked on editing Paris pictures. It felt like a week of progress, though looking back I still didn't get done what I would have liked. June 5 - Home Garden Rose I received three rose bushes for free from another...

This week was filled with chaos as returning from holidays always brings stress because of trying to get back in to routine. We also finished up homeschooling for the year this week. So it all added to convolution of the last week of May which included me missing three Photo Project days. May 29 -... Continue Reading →
What a week of travel and jetlag and trying to get back in routine. April 24, 2022 - Rough Agave This was our last morning in the desert. Not going to lie, I miss the sunshine of the desert, but I am also so very thankful to be back in Germany. It is cooler here,... Continue Reading →

I’ve said this before, but America is so beautiful. March 13, 2020 - Hibiscus I have loved Hibiscus... Continue Reading →
It was an incredibly busy week. But the Lord brought us through. And each day, the joy of #grabbingforthegood has been a moment of peace for me. It truly is something simple, but something that brings about thankfulness in my heart for what God has done in nature and in our home. February 13, 2022... Continue Reading →
I have decided this year to have a monthly recap post the last week of every month. I think it's sort of a reflection and maybe it's a little pat on my own back. I sometimes don't think that I actually do anything and so maybe if I write down what I did, well, maybe... Continue Reading →
I don’t like making goals. Just being honest. Goals scare me. I think Brennig having cancer has given me PTSD in regard to goal making. The fact that our lives came to a screeching halt, five+ years ago has shaken my very core. Our family’s lifestyle of moving a lot (like every three-four years) has... Continue Reading →
These last six weeks have been utter chaos. Not anything bad, but a lot of things are taking up precious brain space. I'm a middle season mom and my life feels so out of control right now. My oldest is graduating in two days. Woohoo!!! During all of his cancer treatments, this child refused to... Continue Reading →
