Anyone else watch that show about the ever-growing family years ago? I loved it, and before we get all political, let me just say.... They inspired so many great things in my family. Their insights on raising children, homeschooling and doing things differently from the rest of the world truly challenged my young 20-something's self.… Continue reading 19 Keets…And Counting
It’s All Gravy
My biscuits bring all the....people to my table?! (And they're like, it's better than... Hahaha, sorry!) My early 2000's are showing again... Ok, for real.

DIY Summer Camp: Part 5
Wild West CampThis camp was originally done in the summer of 2018. We love all things "Wild West" from Little House to Lewis and Clark. Just recently, I heard my kids talking about John Wayne; "he's a real cowboy, you know..." I guess our love for the "Wild West" has even called us to move… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 5
