We recently found out that Jeff got a promotion (Yay!) and that we will be spending our summer in Montana (Double yay!). He will be the pitching coach for the Missoula Osprey, a short-season rookie team that runs from mid-June to the beginning of September. We are thrilled about this opportunity. It’s great for Jeff, and who can be upset about spending the hottest months of the year in Montana?…
I’ve always wanted to be a journaler. I picture myself curled up with a cup of hot tea, writing about important memories, dreaming about the future through my pen. But I never seem to stick with it. Either I’m too much of a perfectionist to start (what if I mess up on the first page?), or I just don’t make the time to keep up with it. And if I…
Last night our family had a chance to see the new Disney film Frozen in 3-D. After watching a hilarious short featuring the Frozen characters last year, we had long been anticipating the full movie. We really had no idea what to expect except of course for the funny little snowman (Olaf) who has been the star of the previews. What we found was a stunning movie, rich with music…

It’s been 24 hours since I took all social media apps (except Instagram) off my phone. You know that urge to check your phone every few minutes? Turns out that goes away when there is nothing to check. So far, it feels really good. And I know I said I would only be blogging once a week, but I had to tell you about a movie that is coming out…
I’m sitting here in the middle of a messy living room. Toys and coloring pages all around me. Shelves begging to be dusted. Ironing board in the corner, clothes piled high. When life looks like this I get the unshakable urge to simplify. To purge. To toss anything and everything we don’t absolutely need. And while it’s good and important to declutter once in a while, I’m learning that this…
Jeff just returned from a 15-day trip to Malawi, Africa. He met the kids that you helped feed through our Advent Conspiracy coffee stand, and even drank water out of the new boreholes you helped fund. The team he was with also helped over 700 people see clearly for the first time by running multiple vision clinics. I’ll let him share more about his trip soon, but for now we…
