7 Ways We Connect as a Family While Traveling #TravelforReal #FamilyForward

Aug312015

Over the years we had our share of traveling faux pas. Traveling with kids can sometimes be difficult (perhaps you can relate?). With four children of our own, there are often stretching moments for everyone involved. We’ve had car top carriers that opened up on the highway (that was fun), screaming babies, trips to the ER, someone who had to pee RIGHT NOW or might burst (that might have been me - … [Continue reading...]

Laurianna loves to doodle and draw. Really, she adores art of any kind.

Being Intentional with My Girls

Aug252015

Our girls are growing up. Realizing that in a few short years our oldest will be out of the house is nothing if not a wee bit scary.
