What a year! In 2025, we became a family of five! I also wrote and published a book, baked a whole bunch, and continued to homeschool Sadie. In between it all, we traveled a little, worked on potty training Mordecai, dealt with Dakota’s hemangioma and constant ear infections, and simply lived life!
It has been such a blessed year. Every high and low reminded me that God is ever-present. Here’s a quick reflection on the year behind us and a look ahead to 2026.
