Experiencing God's Glory through Unique Children

Sometimes parents joke about the woes of raising their strong-willed child. The child who challenges their parents rules or ideas more than the other siblings. The one that has strong opinions about how things should go and wants to do things his or her own way. The old saying we often say in situations like […]

Last Friday was a milestone moment for us. It was the first field trip that I have been able to attend with any of our children since 2019. Something as simple as going on a local adventure with your child, his teachers, and his classmates is a simple joy that we haven’t been able to […]

Why is it so much easier for us to celebrate when all the pieces come together, and we feel like the scenario we prayed for is perfectly complete? Newsworthy successes are such a small percentage of our actual lives, but when we are in the middle of a challenging season, the small wins can be […]

Just in time to fill your Amazon cart and receive packages on your doorstep for filling Easter baskets…I wanted to share with you all my all time favorite Biblical picture book series: Tales that Tell the Truth.

Inspiring our kids to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables is a constant mission at our house. Our bodies have more energy when we fuel ourselves well. When you have a sensational child, getting your child to eat a variety of different foods can be challenging. Textures, smells, and tastes can be much more […]

After 3.5 months of waiting, our sweet child was able to go to OT for the first time two weeks ago. This was an answered prayer and milestone moment for us, because all of the books and online courses that I have been studying for the past year all emphasize the power of occupational therapy […]
