January books

 Here is what I read this month:

This is the book that the movie “A Man Called Otto” was made from. The story is so redemptive, and the characters and story development are the absolute best. Watching the character of Ove deal with his grief while learning to love and be loved by those around him was so special. I highly recommend!

Each year in January, I read through this book of sermons by Martin Luther King, Jr. It is so inspiring to listen/read his words and think of the impact that the Lord can invite you to have on the world.  I would absolutely recommend it.

 Around the corner from our house is a little hole in the wall spot that has killer gosh tacos and they are half price on Tuesdays. It was a spot we found right when we moved to the area. Every once in a while, I love grabbing lunch there. Here is the plan for today:

Happy Tuesday!

Weekend snap shots...

 A low key weekend and a few snapshots of our shenanigans: We kicked off the weekend with a win for Ryder's high school team.  Kit baked bread to go with our favorite soup, we snuggled our bunnies, Kit did a memorial service out on a boat for a friend's dad from church, and we made the viral dumping bake from Trader Joe's for the second time and we loved it.  Sunday is always a day at church and then napping.  We had a really sweet weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

sibling moments

 Eden had a hard day last week and her brother was the perfect person to lift her spirits. 

At one point she had tears and he wiped them with his sleeve. I wanted to cry. I had to snapshot this moment, but it’s the type that as a mom, you’ll never forget. 

Thursday head space…

 After a few weeks of having my work days be all over the place for the holidays, we are back to our Thursday schedules which my headspace which puts me here:
