Walking away from that weekend I knew I was standing on holy ground. Under the rock lie the ashes of my older brother Willy. Bright with beads of sweat dripping from our brows, next to a metal cross in the Arizona desert. The month leading up to his memorial turned out to remain one ofContinue reading “Raise my Ebenezer”

Love is Everything
I think I might be ready to come back to blogging. This Christmas was harder than I expected with the absence of Willy. These months have allowed me to rethink a lot of areas in my life. My hope is to share them with you. But, in the meantime, Merry Christmas from our wacky familyContinue reading “Love is Everything”
It’s in the Showing Up
Friends, can I say I realize how long it has been since I’ve been regularly writing and sharing here? Well, a long while; but, I don’t mind it. I feel as though God has taken me aside to teach me about him and myself these past couple months, which have proven to be restorative. Continue reading “It’s in the Showing Up”
Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy
This post will be short. I made this zucchini brownie bread while I was in Arizona this summer. It’s gluten-free, actually it’s grain-free. In fact, it doesn’t rely on nut flours to bake. I made this and decided the rest should go to my older brother Willy as he couldn’t have gluten. I haveContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy”
Scellick Road Trip Take Two
On day three of our journey we drove along the boring part of the 5, until it was time for lunch. It’s in these times where having Yelp on your phone is pretty handy. I came across a review of this place called Bravo Farms boasting of good food, ice cream/toy shop and an outdoorContinue reading “Scellick Road Trip Take Two”
Scellick Road Trip Take One
Our family recently went on a little road trip, where we traveled through four states, visited with friends we hadn’t seen in a long while, made it to Disneyland and came to realize I am cut out for traveling with my kids (for the most part). Mt. Shasta is the tallest peak in the lowerContinue reading “Scellick Road Trip Take One”
Beginning our Week of Travels
Our family is set to depart this weekend to road trip it down to Arizona. I’ve been so enmeshed in the here and now of our day to day schedule that I haven’t given the reality of us actually being in Arizona much thought. Family meals have consisted of frozen gluten-free pizza I found atContinue reading “Beginning our Week of Travels”
When We Want to Throw in the Towel
It’s late and I should most likely be in bed. However, I am squeezing out the little within me to get back to the discipline of writing; because I miss it dearly. I miss being able to share my heart, to weave words together, to challenge myself and give room for us to gather. AndContinue reading “When We Want to Throw in the Towel”
On Being Honest On Life & Hospitality
Today is day three of Ben being gone. Spring break began Saturday with V coming down with a stomach bug, and me praying blood sweat and tears that I am literally passed over to keep this train o’family a movin. She came down with a high fever come Sunday, but no vomiting. Good thingContinue reading “On Being Honest On Life & Hospitality”
Chocolate chip cookies change the world
This picture is from my Instagram feed where I wrote, Almond meal chocolate chip cookies for my girls and their neighbor friend. #sharethetable is not being fancy, but quickly mixing up some chocolate chip cookies to provide a sense of “home” for my children and the children who enter our home. This is hospitality toContinue reading “Chocolate chip cookies change the world”
