This is how we survived the summer

September 1, 2016 by Aprille 1 Comment

At the beginning of the summer, I wrote a blog post about Summer Survival.

Beauty in the Mess ~ Edition 09.27.14

September 26, 2014 by Aprille 7 Comments

I really have no words for how difficult the last few weeks have been for our family.

The Adventures of the ChickFilA Cow (The Mother’s Day Gift That Kept On Giving)

May 22, 2014 by Aprille 8 Comments

My husband told Ezra that we were going to take Cow on our trip with us so that he could have all sorts of adventures. And that we would take pictures of Cow so that he could look at them when he got back.

Thank you so much for your outpouring of heartfelt comments on my last post. It was so nice to feel less alone – and I was reminded yet again of the power of vulnerability and how it can touch the hearts of others when I least expect it. Now, it’s that time when I share … [Read more…]
