A fun movie to watch in 2022!
Reflections on Christmas.
The last few weeks, I've struggled tremendously to sleep. There is no obvious reason I can identify, but I think some of that sleep deprivation is stemming from the reality that I am not making time to write anymore. I don't write on my blog like I used to and I haven't been making time to write for fun either. There's always something that seems more urgent. I watch my sons fully take on their crafts, whether that is Sawyer with his art supplies or Liam with his football. They give their gifts ...
Just oKAY| November Editor’s Notes!
Hiii! How fun is this new monthly round up? I was inspired to write this morning, because I made the comment in Instagram stories that I used to write every single day. Whatever I wanted to.

These days I’m feeling my heart healing from the physical loss of our sweet foster daughter. It brings me such a joy to see her family thriving and I’m so ...

Our day trip to St. Helens, Oregon–Visit Halloweentown!
Today, we took a thirty minute trip to St. Helens, Oregon. It was a beautiful fall day, and we went to see the Spirit of Halloweentown. [Get their full 2018 itinerary here.] This was such a neat day, it was cute to see where one of my favorite fall movies had been shot. We also learned on our adventure that Twilight and parks of the show, Grimm were shot here too! We always try to make our day trips as affordable as possible. This day was incredibly cheap, to be honest. We ...
