Now that Halloween is over and we’re getting ready for (hooray!) Christmas decorating, we decided it was time to get rid of the pumpkins that we had used to decorate our porch. Before tossing them, I decided to use them for one last fall treat- pumpkin seeds. They were easy to make, tasted great, and [...]

The Italian Job

On Saturday, Zach and I had the privilege of attending the wedding of two sweet friends. Megan (the cutest, sweetest little Italian you will ever meet) and I met in 5th grade and she was one of my best friends growing up. She and Paul (also Italian) started dating when we were in high school, [...]

Earlier this week, Zach’s mom and sister came to visit for his younger brother’s 21st birthday. It was fun to have them come see our house for the first time, and we were glad to get to spend time with them! While they were here, Zach’s mom took a few pictures:
This is one that Zach [...]
Thanksgiving Season

I LOVE Christmastime. So much, in fact, that I want to skip right to it as soon as October is over (I did actually play Christmas music in the car on the way to church yesterday). Recently, however, I’ve been trying to slow down and enjoy each season as it comes- like the season specifically [...]
Fall Fun

Yesterday, we had a great time going to our friends Charles and Amy’s house to hang out and enjoy some fun Halloween festivities. We started by carving pumpkins, which I hadn’t done in a while. Zach directed and I tried to interpret his artistic vision. We pretty much ended up with a standard jack-o-lantern, but we [...]

Among the many things that make our school different from our more traditional counterparts is the way that we frame our quarterly units. Rather than mandated curriculum, we use a “big idea” matrix and look at current events to structure our lesson plans. This quarter, the 7th graders are looking at food and farming. They [...]
A Chill is in the Air

Perfect time to cuddle up inside! Since I don’t have any major pictures to post of the house right now, I thought I’d share a few close-ups of the quilt I made this summer. I know it’s been in a few posts already, but I wanted to share the final product. The photos that inspired [...]

There are some days when I’m not really sure what I’m doing being a teacher and who in the world put me in charge of a bunch of crazy middle schoolers. But then again, there are other days when the hand of the Lord is so evident that I can’t get over the amazing things that [...]
Oh, Hey Fall

I love fall. But then again, who doesn’t? Take Goldilocks, for example. Did she choose the porridge that was blazing hot and left her hair a frizzy mess for three months straight? Nope, not that one. Or the bowl that was so freezing cold that she didn’t regain feeling in her extremities until March? Not [...]

Our niece, that is! Zach’s brother, Robby, and his wife, Emily recently started the adoption process for a baby girl from Kazakhstan! We are super excited for many reasons.
One: we get to be an aunt and uncle! Hooray! If you have ever seen my husband around little babies, you will know that they make him [...]
