My husband making homemade pasta sauce on the weekends has become a staple in our house. It's hard to remember what it was like before he made his pork ragu. If you're looking for a way to up your pasta game, this is it. I have always enjoyed cooking (and still do) but since our daughter was been born, Caleb has really gotten into cooking and makes a large portion of our meals. His favorite dishes are homemade pot stickers, roasted jalapeno omelettes, pimento modia pork loin, and this ... continue reading...
Stari Podrum, Heaven on Earth
You know when you go somewhere, and it's wonderful, and you dream about returning and having the same experience, but when you go back....it doesn't live up to your dreamy memories? This is not one of those places. This place is Stari Podrum, a restaurant set outside the Istrian hill town of Buje, Croatia. You will need a car to access this hidden gem, but I can assure you it will be worth the trouble. I have dubbed this restaurant my heaven on earth. I imagine that nothing bad ... continue reading...
9 Reasons Why We Love Slovenia
Why Slovenia? After clarifying that we did in fact go to Slovenia and not Slovakia, this is often the second question we get. My husband and I have been tacking on the country count over our last nine years of traveling, but Slovenia is the first place (other than Paris) that we have gone back to for a second trip.

Maternity + Newborn Photos + A Prayer for Dayna
"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him." 1 Samuel 1:27 I have been intending to share these photos on the blog since the link to them showed up in my inbox. It's amazing though how fast time goes by (and how little time you have) with a newborn in your household. People tell you and you have a basic idea, but there really isn't much else that has happened in my house other than snuggling, enjoying, (surviving), and taking care of our brand ... continue reading...
The Unexpected Meeting of Joy and Sorrow
May 10, 2018 was the most beautiful yet painful day of our lives. Our long-awaited daughter, Dayna Euphemia, safely entered into the world and became part of our family. This is our family’s story about the pain, hope, sorrow and joy that have come with the twists and turns in the adventure that is our life – an adventure we’ve learned can’t be scripted. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth Shelters thee under his wings and so gently sustaineth! Hast thou not seen how ... continue reading...
My Infertility Caused People to Pray
It can be very hard to find reasons for gratefulness when it comes to infertility. The consistent bombardment of a seemingly hopeless situation often left me more bitter than grateful. But I am grateful for how God has blessed me with a deeper appreciation of prayer. Prayer is a gift to us. Prayer is radical; it can cause us to be thankful for circumstances that cause us to fall to our knees in humble acceptance of our reliance on God and God alone to rescue and redeem. My youngest sister, ... continue reading...
