In September, my husband had a seminar in British Columbia on the weekends. He commuted to that seminar without the kids and I. It was lovely to stay home for a bit longer with our new baby, Little Man. While he was driving the five hours back and forth during the week something terrible happened to our trusty little Honda Civic. Our air conditioning went out. We did not get a chance to repair it yet but will have to soon. With this auto repair cost coming up and with the holidays and winter … [Read more...]
5 DIY Lanyards with Tutorials
We are one week into our seminar here in Indiana. It is going very well and many people are making decisions for Christ. It is quite exciting to see lives being changed. Each evening our seminar guests and workers wear name tags. We simply purchase the 'Hello My Name Is' sticky name tags from the local office supply store. This helps us when we are trying to learn 150+ names during our seminar. Because I also wear one of these name tags each night, I thought it would be nice to make a custom … [Read more...]

Family Travel to Indiana
Let me just say, traveling with 2 kids is a bit more difficult than traveling with one. This is our first seminar with our Little Man. At four months of age, he didn't do too bad. I just forgot how you must constantly keep a baby occupied on an airplane so they are quiet. I got used to my Princess being such a good traveler. So when you travel to Indiana, a mommy just can't watch the movie and ignore the baby... All 3 in my family have a virus too! Yep, we are that family. You know the one: 2 … [Read more...]
Sharing the Good News in Indiana
After 5 months of being home, the kids and I will accompany my husband to Indiana this week. We are all pretty excited about going to a great community in Indiana and sharing the good news of the gospel. That is what my husband does - gets invited to communities across North America to share the gospel with people who want to hear it. Lives are changed when people come out and study the Bible and people choose to be baptized. Simple as that. And it is such a blessing to our family to be a part … [Read more...]
Road Trip to Oregon…That Didn’t Happen
This week my dad had a work trip from Sunday through Thursday in Oregon. He decided to take my mom and my Princess. She was quite excited to be going on a big road trip to Oregon and happily packed up her clothing, snacks, and toys. We were all set - everything was placed by the front door ready for her Papa to pack in to the sport utility vehicle. She stayed the night at their house so they could get up in the morning early and leave. The plan was to leave her in her pajamas and carry her out … [Read more...]
10 Things to Do in Friday Harbor
We live close enough to the Washington State ferry system on Fidalgo Island that when family come and visit us we love to take a ferry out to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. We had the privilege of hosting my husband's parents last week and thankfully we had lovely weather. {Did you know we almost broke a record in Seattle for days without rain? We went 48 days! The record is 51 days. Crazy!} When we visit Friday Harbor there are things we love to do. It never gets old. Each year when we … [Read more...]
