Why are we going to Washington? We are headed there to serve the church God used to save “us”. Let me explain…

This is actually the short version of our marriage testimony…

One year ago Jason and I sat on a park bench in Texas, trying to decide if we could stay married. It wasn’t a fight. It was two sad, frustrated people facing what felt like failure. We’ve been through a lot of trauma together, the highest of highs, the lowest of lows. We’ve had many happy days in our marriage, we do love each other. And there has also always been a disconnect and imbalance between us. I wanted….more. For the longest time, I couldn’t put a […]

lemon balm

One thing I love about taking on this 365 Project is I feel it better reflects our day to day life instead of just sharing our travel adventures. There’s so much more to us! Our faith, roadschooling, real food and traditional kitchen skills, herbalism, our daily routines, all get a little space here. We’ve been using food as medicine since our 15 year was very sick as a toddler. It’s so powerful and the world of herbs is fascinating to me. One of my favorite herbs with one of my favorite herbal books! Lemon balm is incredibly healing, I make it by the quart! Lemon balm is great for attention and focus, […]

Suddenly a Student

Classes all day and a late night zoom meeting tonight. Sometimes ptsd recovery and growth means being able to try new things and I don’t ever think I’ll stop being amazed and grateful for that. I have been a mentor and teacher in the last decade plus but it’s been a verrrry long time since I’ve been a student. Definitely out of my comfort zone. I will share more soon! @thegatewayprocess369

I’ll miss this hot tub

I seem to have backtracked this week in both pain and mobility. It’s been awhile since I’ve had so many intensely bad days in a row. Very thankful for this campground hot tub. Jason put dinner in the instant pot last night and we snuck over while it was cooking, leaving the teens to watch the boys for a bit. I’ll miss this hot tub when we head back to Maine this weekend.

Day 2 WCA Cubing Nationals 2023

Day 2 WCA Cubing Nationals 2023 looked like this for me. I way overdid it yesterday while still deep in recovery from my injury. I am so frustrated with my body, slow healing, lost stamina, constant pain. I want to be there every second and my body just won’t let me. My goal is to be there every other day for a balance of rest and recovery. So today I texted, watched videos, played the livestream and refreshed stats about 8000 times. Jude had an incredible day! He set a new PR (personal record) for clock average and made it in to the finals where he came in 14th!!! It was […]

the last time

There are moments in motherhood when something happens for the last time and you know it’s the last time. There are also moments when something happens for the last time and it just slips away, with no announcement or realization. Like the last time your little one holds your hand when you cross the street, or calls you mommy instead of mom. It just changes with no warning and you don’t know it’s the last in that moment. Big kid things just slip in, quiet, unannounced, subtle little changes. Sometimes, I am not sure which scenario is the most brutal in motherhood. Probably because they both are? Tonight, as we put Z […]
