Baby Shower for Laura

In the midst of moving madness, I hosted a baby shower for a friend at church, Laura. Thankfully it wasn't at my house! The boxes wouldn't have made great decor!

Laura and her husband Tanner recently moved here and they lead worship at our church. They are amazing people and amazing singers/musicians! They are welcoming baby Eila that same week we are welcoming baby Lucy!

I only got a few pictures of the decor. I consider that a success given my lack of picture taking lately!! Chad and some friends from church helped with setup and food - couldn't have done it without them!

I also have to credit Pinterest for inspiration on the decorations! I'm just not creative on my own!

The brunch food looked yummy...

This cake was a total last minute decision! I had ordered super cute raspberry cream cheese cake pops, but at 9:30 the night before, the baker emailed me saying she had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to fulfill my order! AHH! Thankfully we had plenty of food and no one missed the cake pops except me!

I love her colors - gray, pink, and cream with pops of yellow and turquoise.

Such a fun day honoring Laura and baby Eila!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult. A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book. While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had. The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year. Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process. Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting. Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends. We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives. While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though... The moments that we fail completely as a parent. The moments that we are to busy to stop and help. The moments we sit in silence and wonder why. The moments when life is just flat out hard. In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war. In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be. I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away. Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer. I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
