Whirlwind is the only way I can think to describe my journey as a blogger so far. A year ago I had 1 million reasons I wasn’t ready to start writing, although God was already putting the seeds of change in my heart long before I knew what was happening!
I am exceedingly thankful for everyone who has taken the time to share, comment and encourage me along the way through 2016.
What started as something I thought would be an outlet for me to share this little creative part of me, turned into something you were all actually reading!
There were moments I wanted to give up and sometimes there still are because this blogging world is a lot more complicated than I ever imagined! Navigating the techy parts for one, has had me completely overwhelmed at points, but I have done my best to figure out the next steps and keep moving along. It would be just when I needed it I would get a comment or e-mail of encouragement from a reader that kept me moving on to the next topic that God was laying on my heart. Some friends, family, strangers that became friends and people who I’ve never had the pleasure of knowing more than screen to screen have helped me out along the way and I couldn’t have done this without them!
Thank you for allowing me to share my homeschool, motherhood & home life journey with you! It is my hearts desire to see Mom’s thrive their way through Motherhood even if it is a really broken down way of getting to that thriving point.
When Moms thrive, our arrows soar.
So here are the favorites….

In December we threw our regular homeschool schedule right out the window! It turned out to be such an amazing time with my littles and I don’t regret it. Not only did we learn about so many extra subjects we usually wouldn’t tackle, but we enjoyed time together in the process! This Mama also had plenty of time to prepare for the Christmas season and this gave us margin to rest and relax as we approached such a special time of the year.
