When people see me walking around with two kids, their typical response (besides the usual "Oh my gosh, they're sooo cute!" or "Now, I wonder where they got their red hair...
Corban and I take time to thank God for things we see during our walks,
which typically includes swings, penguins (yes, we see them!), and every single puppy.
Deuteronomy 11:19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you
sit at home and when you walk along the road,...
Corban and I have some really great friends. It's so refreshing to all hang out together, our mini body of toiling, believing mothers and kids. Just today we were discussing methods of discipline--those we respect, those who point us in other directions by their poor results. Even...

One of the dilemmas when hosting a party is all the free products you...
We took a refreshing babymoon in Holland, MI, a couple months before Corban arrived to spend some dedicated time reflecting on our current lives, the pending changes, praying for our new child, and sleeping. (Haha!) Well, this weekend, we did it again, only we did it...
We had a small group of friends over for some summer barbecue, corn hole, and pool time.
It's so interesting how these times revolve more around kids and kid-topics than in our pre-kid days.
We borrowed the Evans' pool for the day (although they said we can have it...
God has been doing a work in our hearts over the past 5 1/2 years of our marriage. Well, to be fair, He's been doing lots of works! But one area specifically that we have felt convicted in since early on is the area of...
