Glacier National Park Engagement Shoot

Nate and I had our engagement shoot last July (2018) right after he proposed. (check out that post here) But so much has changed and happened since then! When our wedding photographer asked if we wanted another engagement shoot we jumped on it. And living 40 minutes from Glacier, it was a no brainer ...

Remembering To Be Thankful During This Busy Holiday Season

I was inspired by another blogger to write this one. Her name is Ashley and she writes over at www.theashmoreblog.com. She was chatting on her Instagram stories the other day about not having the "perfect" home and the perfect christmas tree. It made me feel just so much more "normal" to know that I ...

My Breastfeeding Story of Exclusively Pumping

Every mother has their own unique story and reason of how they fed their baby. Everyone has their own struggles, beautiful moments, maybe the judgments from other mothers or family. Whether you planned on exclusively pumping or bottle feeding or breastfeeding, sometimes things do not always turn out ...

I made this Valentines heart wreath the other day and though it didn't turn out how I envisioned it, it didn't cost anything for me to make it! I already had this Dollar Tree heart wreath form and lots of scrap fabric. I just tied pieces of fabric all around the heart frame until all the metal was covered. I also used some yarn, ribbon, and decorative trim to fill in the empty spaces when I ran out of fabric.
It went a bit more shabby chic/farmhouse than I intended because of the color palette, but I still love it❤
Homemade decorations are always my favorite anyways. 
Do you make your own decorations for the different holidays ? 
I have a few more simple DIYs planned for Valentines Day and can't wait to share them with you !

A sprinkle of Spring and Valentines Day in my home A sprinkle of Spring and Valentines Day in my home this week. It may be winter outside, (and for another 2-3 months) but inside I am freshening up each room, trying to shop my home to switch out pieces, and dreaming of the day we can open the windows to get some fresh air in here. 
I have made yet another big pile of donations and I am just amazed that in the 2 years we have lived in this house, I have accumulated so much STUFF. I've been purging and organizing room by room on a zero $ budget. It's been tricky without the proper baskets and shelves to contain it all, but I'm getting there. Anyone else in the mood to purge and organize it all ?

MLK has hundreds of famous quotes, but here are my MLK has hundreds of famous quotes, but here are my favorites:

"We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way."

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."

"Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart."

Teaching my son the importance of peace, friendship, love, equality and freedom of speech today. 🇺🇲
#mlkday2021
In a modern world where all of these things seem threatened, I sometimes feel a heavy burden of raising a son who may need to fight for these values and freedoms as he gets older.Our country seems to be falling apart and some days I am just too overwhelmed by it all. It has really hit me these past couple of months that I have a very important job as a homeschooling mother. Raising and teaching him to be Christ-like and to always show patience and kindness to others. How to sort through all the information and recognize fact from fiction. How to stand strong for what is right. And to not judge others. It can be difficult to spread love and light when there is so much darkness. But as a sweet 8 year old boy, he only sees light. Which makes the days beautiful and easier for me to see the good in every moment. 
His wanting to help those less fortunate shines this brilliant light from him that makes me so proud. I am often so wrapped up in my own life and problems that I don't think of the strangers struggling to put food in their children's bellies. Liam has often mentioned in prayer that he hopes everyone has eaten for the day. 
It makes me stop dead in my tracks and I am humbled by it. 
"My dream for the world is for everyone to be happy and to have a home. My dream for myself is to be rich so I can give food to homeless people" - Liam, age 8

It was a good day to be in the forest. The sun was It was a good day to be in the forest.
The sun was shining through the trees and the smell of pine and wet branches was therapeutic. I snowshoed and Liam sled down the hill over and over again. Now we're back inside with hot cocoa in our bellies and ready for a nap.
Hope you had a good weekend and were able to spend some time outside.
