    Today marks the fourteenth year that I’ve had the privilege of being Mrs. to Handsome Husband. He’s my favorite human. “The woman was made of a rib out of the side of man; not made out of his head to rule over him, not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but…

    Center Sister turned 8 years old this weekend. Tempus fugit. Seems like just yesterday she was the giggly, silly infant we nicknamed Goose. With an unfinished mud-pit for a yard, and a house full of extended family in from out of state, a party at home just wasn’t a reasonable option. We were committed to keeping…

    This week my mom, sister, and three nieces drove out from Oregon for some extended family togetheness. We fondly referred to our time together as Cousin Camp, as it was jam-packed with adventure, bonding, and general kumbaya… We had a blast showing them around our region, enjoying much of Big Sky Country’s great outdoors. Our guests enjoyed their first trip…

    The onset of summer in the countryside has caused us to slow our daily pace a bit. Not idle, but not rushing… Taking time to smell the roses. Deliberately – eagerly – getting stuck behind a train. Blowing past bedtimes more often than not. Working hard in the yard and then nursing our sun-fatigue, observing God’s creation in nature and the company of our visitors. Simple…

    Here’s the latest from our neck of the woods: We wrapped up all the fun memory-making with our most recent houseguests. We got stuck in a massive traffic jam on a rural Montana highway. Our “ato” garden is coming along nicely. Speaking of our mud-pit of a yard, we finally got our sprinklers in! Next up: Sod…

    There are some great perks to having kids young, not the least of which is fostering close relationships with older generations in a family. This week’s houseguests traveled 1000 miles to spend time with our kiddos. It warms my heart to realize that these times together will surely become cherished, life-long memories. We’ve been having so much fun…

    We have a steady stream of visitors heading eastward from Oregon, again, this summer. *Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test…* With Quality Time as my primary Love Language, I feel especially blessed when loved-ones are willing to travel- and use up vacation time– to hang with us.

    It’s for good reason that I’ve been M-I-A (<—-see what I did there?) for the last week: The fam and I just returned from an epic field trip… We did The Disney Thing. It was a blast. We hadn’t done a Disney trip since the girls were 1 & 3, and Little Man obviously had never been.…

    I’m a homemaker. Making and keeping and running our home is a job I actually take pride in. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to share how we strive to maintain an organized, efficient home with a bunch of local high-school Home-Ec students, earlier this week. They returned to tour our house as a field-trip, yesterday afternoon. My friend (the…
