The first year my husband and I were married I read about a strawberry festival taking place in a little town about an hour away. Picturing in my mind exactly what it would look like, I was thrilled when my husband finally succumbed to going with me. I imagined strawberry shortcake and homemade jam being sold along with fresh strawberries …
Sweet & Salty
I was doubly blessed last week as I honored two amazing men. I celebrated my dad a few days early for Father’s Day and returned home in time to celebrate my husband as well. Danny and I were thrilled to have both of our kids home. We planned a whole weekend of family fun. My husband grew up water skiing …

Dwelling Richly
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” John 1:14 What a beautiful time our family had remebering and celebrating the incarnation of Jesus – the Son of God who took on flesh and chose to dwell on earth.

As I was sitting …

It’s finally beginning to look and feel like a new season, and although things are falling off, maybe they are really falling into place. I love summer with a relaxed schedule and more daylight but I find myself excited about the change of seasons this …
