finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I kind of abandoned my blog this fall. Homeschooling and freelance has taken my time and mental energy and well, that’s the beauty of blogging … you can pop in and out as it suits your life season.

Big fan of pancakes here. I have a staple recipe, but every now and again I’m out of one ingredient or another and have to be creative. Sometimes, that creativity is magic and today, that magic is called hazelnut ricotta pancakes. Lordy, lordy, these were divine! Are divine. Totally making them again. And, sharing the recipe […]
After my 5K in August (that I never mentioned), I decided to up the ante. Time for a 10K! I met my goal for the August 5K by seconds – done in under 30 minutes – and I needed something new to work towards. Because … running gets to you like that. I downloaded the Nike Run Club […]
Hey, hey! How about a homeschool update/round up? Homeschooling has become such a huge part of our lives! Two kids has ramped things up like, WOAH.
