April 9th, 2023 Easter is a special day for the church body as a whole as we celebrate how Jesus overcame death on the cross, bearing the weight of all our sins, and rose again bringing us with Him into new life but it is also a significant day in our little family. All three of our children were baptized on Easter Sunday - counting them as God's people. Hilde in 2019, Millie in 2021, and Thorin in 2023. Something Bruce and I didn't initially plan or dream for our children, but now something ... continue reading...

Clearly, I should have probably set a higher goal, but ... continue reading...
Three Easter Baskets
One, Two, Three little Easer Baskets all in a row! I'm grateful (in that silly matching mama way) that Pottery Barn still had these adorable felt Bunny Easter Baskets I purchased for the girls two years ago so that I could have all three colors. I got the green for Thorin but it was quickly claimed by Millie whose "favorite color forever and ever is green!" Leaving Thorin with the leftover white one. These felt bunny baskets are not only adorable, but their petite size helps reign in my gift ... continue reading...
Sourdough: An Essay & A Recipe
Sometimes slow things are worth it Ten years ago we were newlyweds and my husband used one of our many Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift cards to purchase a teal Dutch oven.

Shortly after that, he got into sourdough breadmaking and I had zero time for it. And when I say zero time, really I mean zero patience. I ... continue reading...
