Fun weekend at the field—didn’t come out on to Fun weekend at the field—didn’t come out on top this time, but every outing is an opportunity to win or learn.
We started watching “That 90s Show” this week, We started watching “That 90s Show” this week, and I don’t know how old Kitty is supposed to be, but I am certainly running on the same wavelength with her. 😂😂😂

She believes in having all the snacks for all the kids, “I’m getting all the -itos!” 

She knows the kids and talks to them through each of the different phases and stages. 

She makes the corny jokes, believes the best, and loves all the kids as her own. 

This is the kind of home I want to have as we walk through the teen years and beyond. The home with the snacks. The easy place. The hang out. Glad we get to walk through it all together.
Happy 2023! ✨ New year, same me. No word. No b Happy 2023! ✨

New year, same me.

No word. No big goals or check boxes to tick. Grateful that His mercies are new each morning and I can change and grow anytime I find something I’d like to shift or work on. 

January 1st isn’t anything magical. If you didn’t start today, start tomorrow. Small steps make the biggest impact. Things don’t have to be all or nothing. Want to start something? Just start. 

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Hope your 2023 is filled with health and happiness!
