The laundry is sitting wet in the washer because I never got it to the dryer the night before. The kitchen counters are buried under jars of canned… Continue reading Our Daily Rhythm
2025 was a transformative year for our family, one filled with unexpected shifts, quiet growth, and a deeper sense of purpose. Our oldest received a diagnosis of Rolandic Epilepsy (Childhood Epilepsy), a condition that is often outgrown by puberty, though not always guaranteed.
