It’s time to wander the yard again, looking for floral treasures.

I put my most organizationally gifted child on a mission: empty the game cabinet and decide what to keep, donate, or toss.

Who would have thought we had so many games!?! Not me, I don't even like board games. 🤪

My sweet husband bought me a Slushi machine for Valentine's Day, and I have been putting it to the test. 😁 And the kids have been willing taste testers!

So far, I have made Pepsi, Orange Julius, Grape, Dole Whip, Grape Julius, and Root Beer float slushies.

I love our view—foggy days included. 🤍
When we chose this place nearly 20 years ago, I had no idea just how much of a blessing it would become.

Beautiful views, open land, and room for our family to grow, laugh, and thrive.
Feeling grateful today… and always.
