August 14, 2022 MINI: 25 Freezer Meals in 3 Hours
I just made 25 freezer meals in 3 hours. I was going to write out all the directions, but I was too tired, so this is the phone call "how to" version. I'm sure in the future there will be more of these because talking things out is easier than trying to write and edit a blog post. Also, let's be honest no one wants to hear another person's life story before they get to a recipe!
Here's the link to the recipes!

July 26, 2022 Scripture Memory for Kids with Hunter Beless
Today Hunter Beless and I talk about why Scripture memory is important for ourselves and our children! It is more than just for the sake of brain growth it is one of the best ways to meditate on Scripture!

Hunter’s picture book “Read it, See it, Say it, Sing it” helps make principles of Scripture memory clear and practical, but reminds us that the most important job of the Bible is to point to Jesus and grow in relationship with Him through it.

July 19, 2022 Add Diverse Cultural Experience to Your Homeschool - with Nicole Cottrell
Have you wondered how to add more than European cultural education to your homeschool?
While curating our favorite book lists I realized how little variety there was in what we were loving. Since then I've been making it my mission to change that for our family! Nicole Cottrell has been such an amazing person to turn to for book lists that include varied cultural experiences in our children's feast of beautiful education!!

We are so blessed when we look at the strengths and gifts that people bring to the human experience and I can’t wait to read the book she recommended in our homeschool!

July 12, 2022 How does it Look to Embrace Your Life? with Elizabeth Woodson
Has life turned out like you thought it would? For some of us our paths look wildly different than we thought they would.
Elizabeth Woodson talks us through her book “Embrace your Life”. Sometimes life takes a turn we didn’t anticipate and we can spend time wishing we were in a previous stage or the next years of life instead of enjoying and truly living where we are at! How can we celebrate our wins? Grieve our losses? And truly embrace the life that we are living today right now without zoning out falling into mindlessness?
