simple words.

I am reading through the bible this year and right about now I am stumbling my way through Leviticus.  It’s a lot of do’s and don’t’s and I get lost in most of it to be honest. But what does catch my attention is the phrase that is repeated many times over: “Fear your God. […]

A couple things that I’m loving right now. This new app my friend Robin told me about called Red Stamp. It’s a super cool way to freely send cute cards to anyone. Like this one I sent to Brian on Friday. I love it. The girls in their new BIG GIRL booster seats. Oh my […]

Just be me.

1. Mason is becoming a rock star at reading. Last week for the first time, on his own initiation he read a book to the girls. Precious. Wish I would have gotten a picture. But…I didn’t. To help encourage him in his reading we call grandparents and friends and he reads to them over the […]

Fillin’ up.

My fuel for the morning. I’m feeling it. Physically tired, a little scattered, a little overwhelmed. So I’m filling up on two things that really never fail me. The Word and coffee. A to the Men. Happy Thursday.
