Faith is sixteen! After her sisters Grace and Joy had opted for an extended family celebration at home, Faith decided she wanted to do some fun things with just the seven of us.

How to dye your hair.
I dyed my hair. I resisted doing it myself for years, but my mom convinced me to give it a try, and I’m so glad she did. It saves so much time and money! Over lunch together the girls were talking about how they would like to dye their hair. They have all kinds of… [continue reading]

Birthday Boys
In the last year all my kids have turned a year older and life was so crazy with our move that I never did document the occasions. There has been so much that I’ve gotten behind on last year, but slowly and consistently, as much as I am able, I am remedying that! Since I… [continue reading]

Our Initiation into Parenthood
Happy 16th birthday to my daughter Faith today! She changed my life forever, immediately!
