My Ectopic Pregnancy Story
* This post contains images that some might find graphic/disturbing. Out of all of the blog post ideas I have jotted down in my Notes, I never fathomed that this was a post I’d be authoring. In fact, having 3 healthy full-term births in the past gave me confidence that such a thing could never happen to me. I’m over here thinking I’m…

Why I Gave Up Blogging and Came Back Again
Let me open by saying that I believe there are two main types of people in this world: Those who are determined to do what they set out to do, and push through until it’s done. Aaaaaand… Those who give up after a short time of not seeing (enough) results, and move on to the next thing. And then there’s…

Nothing New Under the Sun
Seasons change. That’s something we can all agree on. Seasons of the year, plainly seen by all in the changing trees, sunrise and set, and the weather around us… But also, and more importantly, seasons of life. Seasons of life, some linger like an unforgiving winter with no end in sight, while others fly by like a leaf caught up…

What is a Skoolie?
Jan 11, 2019 So, you wanna know what this “trendy” new word is you’ve been hearing lately is? A quick Google search returns that a Skoolie is a School Bus that has been converted into an RV (recreational vehicle). And while it’s neither new or trendy, it is picking up quite some traction these days. Let’s explore a bit deeper.…

My Toddler’s Cavities | our Silver Diamine Fluoride and Surgery experience
May 28, 2018 Cavities. There is so much conflicting information out there about what causes them, what prevents them, how to treat them and even if they can be stopped or reversed. I’m going to share my son’s journey, including his experience with Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment. Hopefully this can help or comfort someone going through the same thing. How…

How to Survive on One Income?
The economy isn’t what it used to be, friends. 20 some years ago it was completely acceptable and attainable for families to get by in a one income household. Nowadays, we see moms dropping off their newborns to daycare, relatives homes, leaving them with dad who just got off third shift work himself, and hustling off to a 9-5 (or…

Why I’m no longer Vegan
First off, I want to open with a great big I HATE LABELS. I honestly do. Labels make everything more difficult, keep us in a box and put so much unnecessary pressure on us. No, this isn’t why I’m no longer Vegan, but I never liked the title to be honest. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get…

School Bus or RV | Why We Bought a Bus
You might be a bit confused at this point, so if you have no idea why someone would say School Bus and RV in the same sentence, go check out my other post What is a Skoolie? first. Now that we’re on [relatively] the same page, let’s get into it. Naturally, when I tell people my big dream, they respond…

How to Find Time to do Anything
So, you want to write (or do something else) but you just can’t find the time, eh? The dishes are piling up, your phone keeps ringing and the kids want to go watch bunnies hop through the field outside, right? Hey, I know. Been there. Done that. Still there. Listen, that stuff, while important, isn’t going to magically go away…

Is it Possible to Live Humble and Dream Big?
A conflict of interest it would seem, to live a humble life yet have big dreams/goals. From a biblical standpoint, we are to be humble servants, emulating Christ and being very modest about our own esteem. From a worldly standpoint, we should be proud of our accomplishments, after all we did it, right? So how do we live this dignified…
