It’s no secret that I love my crock pot. I unashamedly use it year round, and owe a sincere thank you to the person who invented it.

Seasons
Lately I’ve been in awe at how God uses seasons to remind us of his faithfulness. I took my kids on a walk this morning and as the crisp fall air hit our faces (how cute is Mckinley Jo in her little hat, by the way!), my mind immediately thought back to a year ago …

Weekend Getaway to Arizona!
Hello friends! It’s been a while since I shared an update about what’s been going on with our little family. Probably the biggest news is that Jake took a new job!
