Looking back, I wasted so much of my summer worrying about my upcoming plan to homeschool. Top on my ‘Unnecessary Worry List’ was the curriculum. Thankfully, in addition to having a wonderful family guide and supply me with the perfect (engaging and Biblical worldview) books, they encouraged me to allow each child to follow his/her...
Back in 2015, Matthew had an idea. Instead of FILLING UP OUR HOUSE EVEN MORE WITH ITEMS NONE OF US TRULY NEEDED ‘buying gifts,’ we should take a TRIP and create family MEMORIES instead!

Anyone else look forward to one, particular trip EVERY year?!?! That’s exactly how I feel about our family’s summer BEACH TRIP! My grandparents are so sweet to bless my parents, my family and my sister’s family with a wonderful week by the ocean. Each year is filled with wonderful memories, but I think THIS year...
