Pancakes are made on the regular in our house. I think if my youngest had the chance, he would almost exclusively eat pancakes, waffles, and fruit. As you will see, he was more than happy to be my taste tester for this recipe. I have made many, many different pancake recipes over the years, but these quickly have become a favorite. Made with a ripe banana and einkorn flour, these aren't the Bisquick pancakes your mom used to make that were packed with sugar and left you hungry an hour ... continue reading...
Let Them Mourn – National Infertility Awareness Week
People of faith mourn as they express theirfaith while suffering. We cry out for relief, forescape, for understanding, for perspective.“God, help me to understand this.” We desire something we don’t have.

Of all the choices in her book basket she pulls out this book to look through the most often. It lists some basic Christian truths in numbered 1 - 10, such as the four books ... continue reading...
Eat Your Way Through Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ah, Ljubljana. The city that no one knows how to pronounce. (It's lyoo-BLYAH-nuh, by the way.) Ljubljana is the capital city of Slovenia, and it's our favorite small-big city.

Are there more impressive sights, more renowned cuisine, and more famous wine in Europe? I guess so. But you will forget that while ... continue reading...
Perfect Day in Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Ok, let's talk about our favorite area of Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia. Nestled at the very northeastern tip of Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia doesn't end up on most people's itineraries when planning their trip to Italy. It's a hike from Rome and the Amalfi Coast and just far enough away from Milan and Venice to make it difficult to include on the list of must-dos. But I'm here to try to convince you that including this area for your first (or at least your second!) trip to Italy is worth ... continue reading...
One Year Later: What the Doctors Couldn’t Tell Us
One whole year of life with our Dayna. One whole year later and I can say that a doctor confirming that your child was born with Down Syndrome is not the end of the world. After our surprise news following her birth, the doctors and medical staff were able to tell us a lot about what we could expect according to her diagnosis. In the hospital, we were handed a pile of articles, websites, and research to take home with us. Some of it was pretty scary, jarring, and completely changed our ... continue reading...
5 Ways Infertility Will Bless You
This might be a blog post that you have to archive in the back of your bookmarks tab or file away in a Pinterest board. It's possible that this isn't something you can read right now. You might have just had to look at another infuriating negative pregnancy test, your treatment cycle failed, or the money just isn't there to continue with more treatments, your adoption didn't go through, or you're in the seemingly endless days of waiting for something to happen. Or perhaps it's just what ... continue reading...
