I am so excited for Caroline this month: she was published in the Washington Post! #goals! But I'm even more proud of what she said, because the myth that women can just effortlessly do it all is flawed and needs to be addressed. More like this: The Mom-dalorian: What the Mandalorian taught me about being [...]
I was so, so hopeful that last night's election results would come in so overwhelmingly clear that we'd go to sleep easy, assured that the United States was actually . . . unified. But, of course, that didn't happen. If you're stress scrolling Twitter or raging at your friends' Facebook posts today, may I recommend [...]
Isn't hope fulfilled a beautiful thing? We've been living through a year of darkness, isolation, and waiting in many ways, so coming to the fulfillment of God's promise in Jesus has been so sweet. I hope you've enjoyed these gospels as we move from summer into fall, and we'll continue to look at Jesus's life [...]
Time spent together, reading great books out loud can be some of the best memories you make with your children. This Christmas, I hope you’re snuggling up with this book by a warm fire, with a cozy blanket and a mug of hot tea. Maybe there’s a frost in the air and you’re busy making up [...]
Like Kate, I never though I'd be the homeschooling type. But 2020 had other plans for me. So while my son's preschool was cancelled, I took a turn in the driver's seat, teaching-wise, and let's just say I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. Hence, these sight word puzzles that I [...]
This month hasn't started so great for me. See: What does it feel like to have shingles on your face? Let me tell you. So I'm a little late getting this month's reading plan up. But if you're like me, that's no problem because you're probably a few days behind anyway. No worries! But you [...]
On Friday, I sat on our back porch while my daughter played in the yard. It's been a buggy year, and I swatted away a few mosquitos before bringing everyone back inside. On Saturday, I woke up with a cluster of mosquito bites over my left eye. They pulled at my skin and felt tight. [...]
2020 is quite the year to decide to dive deep into the prophets, where we get the gritty details about the years of exile and loss and heartbreak for the Israelites. I'm feeling it. But the good news is, we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ezra and Nehemiah will [...]
This year my kids have started using The Good and The Beautiful's language arts curriculum, and even though it's just day 2 of school I'm already feeling more relaxed and in-control than I have in previous years with different ELA curriculum. What I love about this curriculum is that it's all-inclusive for ELA -- they're [...]
Honest update here: I'm stumbling through the reading plan right now. I'm reading what was assigned for early July at this point, and I'm hoping I'll be able to catch back up by doubling my reading once school starts. (Ha, school starting! What's that?) It is a nice reminder, though, to see how much God [...]
