Saturday morning we did our big breakfast, and then got right to work on the other kids’ blankets. We spread Javi’s blanket out on the table and got it all pinned, and then Lover sewed it. Since that went so well, we got the girls’ blankets laid out as well, and then I sewed their […]

Lover had a VERY productive day today! He fixed the drywall in the garage from our leak in the spring, cleaned up and put back the molding in the den, and insulated the garage over the door where it’s never had insulation. Hopefully this will make a difference this winter because our room, which is

The big kids finished up their art project/thank you cards while I wrote this morning. Lover did a bunch of other school with them, and then they all went to a park to play soccer too. Thursdays they all have so much fun while I am writing! 🙂 I made a bunch of progress on

The kids have AWANA tonight, and the theme is Noah’s night, which is where they bring a favorite stuffy with them to club. Keilana has been preparing for this all week, and has made Piglet a sparks vest, along with a backpack and a sparks book that is carried inside the backpack. She even found

We floated the idea once we got back to Denver of continuing to visit churches throughout the weeks, but our kids shut that down real fast. They wanted predictability and stability, which we totally understood. So for two months we’ve just

We made a big breakfast on Saturday morning, and then everyone pitched in to get the house cleaned up. We’re hosting Life Group tomorrow and we explained to the kids that one of the ways we serve is by hosting get togethers like this. And it takes all of us to get the house ready!

My friend Ashley invited me to go with her to a Roper sale at their warehouse. We left our husbands and kids together to play and visit, and the two of us headed out to score some deals. I texted another friend and told her that it was the “most American thing ever” 🙂 Stetson

I spent the morning working on little details to get Intruder closer to publishing. We need to get a cover made and I spent quite a bit of time working on the “back of the book blurb” for the cover. It’s harder than you might think to condense a 135,000 word novel down into a
