My Second Teenager
Happy Birthday, Sweet Grace! I can’t believe my girl is 13!!! Where has time gone? I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She was my easiest pregnancy (so far), so I should have known that her labor would be memorable, too. Thirteen years ago today, my husband and I headed to the hospital […]
The Man of the House
I’m a lucky woman. I not only met my dream man at the young age of 19, but I’ve been married to this awesome man for over 16 amazing years! He’s a good person. He’s devoted. He’s faithful. He’s awesome with the kids. He always helps around the house, whether it’s fixing dinner or fixing the […]
Vegan Pancakes
Two things that always go together well – food & family! Vegan pancakes were breakfast today! Merci made them and they were super yummy! The whole family loved them from our toddler to Daddy! This makes for one happy mama! We cooked them in coconut oil and substituted animal ingredients for vegan ones. We used […]
Trust in the Lord
God is ever faithful in life, even when we can’t see it. 🙈 I’m always teaching my children (while reminding myself) to trust God and pray. 🙏 Sometimes it can be hard to see His hands in our lives as He’s working in it. But looking back on my life, I can see the many […]
2015 Family Photos

Words cannot express how thankful I am for my amazing, beautiful, happy family that I have prayed for since I was a little girl! God answers prayers! 🙏 […]
Weekend Blessings
We created a new recipe for lunch as a family. We will post how to make it on the blog soon when we start adding recipes! We’re still loving kukicha tea, even the kids! We picked up an awesome deal at Sprouts Farmers Market on fresh wild caught salmon for only $4.99 a pound – so we bought 50 pounds to stock the […]
Our Peaceful Comforter
I love my son! He is so many answered prayers from God! Can’t believe my sweet little boy is turning 4 today! You’ve lived twice as long as mama prayed for you. You’re an answered prayer not just for me, but for your daddy, too. Your daddy’s buddy now, just like Grandpa Olsen wanted you to be. You’ve lived […]

Our Family Expedition
I’ve kept the same car for 3 years today. Wow! This is definitely worth celebrating because being married to a mechanic, I’ve been lucky to test drive and own all kinds of cars. I’ve driven sedans, sports cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and luxury cars, too. It took me a long time find the right car to stick […]
