This is now the third time I’ve done a yearly recap complete with the family pictures that we take weekly on Sundays. It’s always amazing to me to look back and see just how much can happen in the span of the year, and this last year was just as eventful as the years before …
One lesson I definitely learned from 2020 was that I really can’t even begin to predict what each new year will have in store for us, and that trend of being endlessly surprised by life’s curve balls continued in 2021. To be honest, I didn’t have much of a definite life plan for 2021 other …
Every February for the past few years, I’ve done a Day in the Life post to see how much changes from year to year. Last year’s post was all about life with a preemie newborn, a toddler, and a preschooler, and although life was chaotic (because life with young kids just is like that), I …

Do you like how I said back in April that I was going to be doing State of the Family Address posts monthly, and that I haven’t done one since? Well, I intend to remedy that. I still haven’t decided how I’m going to go forward exactly with these (with the format or the series …
