My willpower is non-existent!
Ahhhhhhh!

Christmas list already????

October 27, 2010 by Sara Haynes 8 Comments

Last year I was super organized.
For the first time ever I had all my Christmas preparations done by the end of November.
Yippee!
I was then able to really enjoy baking and celebrating the season with my family all through December.

No stress.
No panic.
No fighting the crowds.
No driving around trying to find a parking spot at the mall for 30 mins.

Ten on Tuesday

October 26, 2010 by Sara Haynes 8 Comments

1.  I have been very diligent about not buying Halloween Candy. I know myself, if it’s in the house it’ll be long gone before the 31st! But, I did crack this weekend and bought a yummy container of candy corn. Now I need to decide what sweet treat we will make with it. Here are a few fun ideas I’ve seen…

What would you do with Ten Hundred Thousand Dollars???

October 24, 2010 by Sara Haynes 4 Comments

This weekend our seven year old stayed at my dad’s house and when my dad dropped him off he giggled as he told me about the conversation he had had with our son.
Now, I realize that the following is probably only funny to me because I know all the people he’s talking about and I just find his perspective hilarious, but I wanted to share it on here because I plan to look back at this in years to come and giggle some more.

I love Jesus, my guy Chris + our four. We seek joy. Homeschool. Adventure together. Mess up and start again.

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Romans 8:28

Ok friends! This is your personal invitation to ju Ok friends! This is your personal invitation to jump in with me to read through your Bible in a year. I know that for me, the years I’ve had a “plan” have been the years I have most consistently spent daily quiet time with Jesus. 

The plan I’m following has a portion of the Old Testament, Psalm, Proverb and New Testament to read each day. And it’ll be the best 10 mins you spend each day! 💗 You do not need the specific bible I’m using, I’ll have the readings posted so you can use whatever you have! 

If I’ve learned anything in 2020 it’s that I long for community. Yes, I can read through on my own this year.... but how much richer would it be to do this with friends. The bible tells us “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” 

I know I have experienced God in amazing ways through the words & experiences of friends. We were made for community! 

SO-I’ve created a private FB group for us to have the space to encourage, share and find accountability as we dig into God’s word in 2021!

Would love for you to join me. 💗
Fav crew right there. Fav crew right there.
Me no likey the fog. 🤦‍♀️❄️ Pretty to Me no likey the fog. 🤦‍♀️❄️
Pretty to look at, sure, but I like to see when I’m skiing. 🤷‍♀️
A brand new bible for a brand new year. Chris and A brand new bible for a brand new year. Chris and the kids all use YouVersion for their bible plans but I am partial to a physical book- just something about feeling those pages as I read. 
If anyone wants to join me please send me a message! I’d love to spend 2021 in the word with you! 💗

Our first Christmas together in the mountains. ❤ Our first Christmas together in the mountains. ❤️
This moment. I look forward to it every year. Ever This moment. I look forward to it every year. Everyone else is in bed while I sit here in the dark- with only the light from the tree. My heart is so full of anticipation. Wonder. Joy. 

I always think of that first Christmas night while I sit here by the glow of the tree and see the gifts under its branches. I think of all those years ago on that eve of our Jesus’ birth. I imagine how all of heaven must have felt the same as I do tonight- KNOWING the gift we were about to receive on that wonderful night. Dear friends, may all our souls feel their worth tonight as we remember who HE is. 
💗

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
It’s been a fun month with our guy Candycane. I It’s been a fun month with our guy Candycane. I think I will treasure these sweet days of fun and excitement forever. #ourelfcandycane
Merry Christmas Eve ❄️🛷 Merry Christmas Eve ❄️🛷
