worshiper, wonderer, writer – seeking to encourage faithfulness in Christian women
Since this trip is fresh on my mind, I decided to write about some things we learned that hopefully apply to both RV’ers and non-RV’ing families. It’s taken me a few years to learn some of these principles, but hopefully others will find at least some of this helpful. In your planning, consider your people …

Day 11 - Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park Today was a big day with lots of firsts for us! We all slept in a little bit, which was nice, and since Nick had seasoned his new Blackstone griddle the night before (which we gave him for Father’s Day), he cooked breakfast for us on …

Some homeschoolers term this "morning basket" or "circle time," but the principle of the concept remains the same, …
As Lent approaches this week, I wanted to share some traditions and resources that we've used for our family in the past. Before you dive into what you'd like to do, though, I encourage you to read this post I wrote last year around Easter. As always, the principles and motivation behind what we do …

It's February, so maybe the talk of goals and new-year-new-you has died down a bit, but the self-imposed pressure can still linger, right? Those who are successful are sharing about their victories in their goals of weight loss, new habits, new learned skills, etc., and the temptation to do something and do it well is …
