Noah’s first snow day ❄️

Big brothers rode 4-wheelers and played in the snow all day, while we stayed bundled up and warm.

Such a sweet first snow day.

This season feels so full in all the best ways. I’m looking forward to more adventures with these sweet boys. ❤️

A recap of our first week back to school!

It was such a fun, busy, exciting week.

We read lots of books, took nature walks, woke up to a morning invitation each day, made a lot of art, learned about the Earth, had our first “Writer’s Workshop”, notebooked about our history readings, recited poetry, did a lot of math, and finished our week with a motocross race.

I. Am. Tired.

I’m spending the day today getting our home, hearts and lessons prepared for the upcoming week.

I have a feeling this is going to be the best school year ever.

We really encourage autonomy… and sometimes that means letting them make mistakes for themselves I guess.

I had forgotten what the baby years felt like. Th

I had forgotten what the baby years felt like.

They’re tender.
They’re stretching.
They’re utterly exhausting and deeply fulfilling all at once.
A new layer of need pressed into an already full day.

As I go to change the eighth diaper of the day, a little voice calls out, “Can we go for a walk, mama?”
My tired body wants to say no.
But my heart says yes.

Because I know these moments with them—long walks, deep talks, laughter and play—won’t always be so easy to come by.

This age gap has given me new perspective.
It has certainly impacted how I view time with my children.

Some days, it feels like the dishes will never end.
The baby needs to nurse just as the food starts burning.
Someone can’t find their shoes.
Another is melting down over math.
And I’m wondering if I’ll ever sit down to eat again…

But in the middle of the noise and the mess…

There’s a chubby hand reaching for mine.
A child asking me to read just one more page.
A sleepy head resting on my chest.
A sunset walk with scraped knees and wide eyes.

It’s not easy.
But it’s beautiful.

This season is sanctifying me.
Softening me.
Reminding me of what really matters.

One day, I’ll want this chaos back.
I’ll miss the dirty socks and sticky counters.
The clumsy hugs. The interrupted thoughts. The weight of a baby on my chest.

So today, I’m choosing to slow down.
To notice.
To remember:

Motherhood is the mission.
And I’m exactly where I need to be.
