Read MoreHow To Keep Track of Your Kids' Memories & Milestones
/
When I was younger, I used to journal all. of. the. time. - but now that I’m older, I find it is much harder to stay on top of writing things down or tracking fun memories and moments of not only my life, but also for my kids. I love all of the fun ideas for keeping track of your kids’ memories and milestones, but I often find it hard to know when or how often to write something down, or even what exactly to write or say. I often draw a blank. I’m sure our life is exciting and fun and worth sharing, but where do I begin?
I’m sharing with you several easy ways to keep track of your kids’ childhood memories & milestones, but also my FAVORITE product for tracking all of these memories that works best for me!

Our toddler is currently just a few months over 2 years old but has an active imagination, so I picked books that I thought he would enjoy based on his current interests (dinosaurs, monsters, trucks, etc.).

Read MoreExpectations of Marriage & Premarital Mentoring
/
A month or so ago, my husband was approached by some former youth ministry students who were recently engaged and asked if he would be willing to be their marrying pastor and if we would be interested in doing their premarital counseling. As I was processing this new ministry opportunity for me and Eric, I wanted to be able to share our own journey as we reflect back on the start of our marriage and as we evaluate the current state of our marriage after nearly 5 years. Hopefully, this series will bring great value for those who are single, dating, or engaged - but also for anyone who is already married, because we’re never done learning and growing and developing within our relationships!
