Hello friends...The last time I wrote here, we were celebrating our first Christmas in the RV.
Several years have passed...a lot has changed...and a lot has remained the same.
James and Fionna were just a couple months old. We were living in a tiny space with 8 children, (multiple sets of twins,) trying to find land in the country.
Life kept going even though I wasn't posting here.
I stopped writing here. Not because I stopped loving this space...but because my focus shifted away from long form writing for a season. I poured energy into growing on Instagram. I listened to the voices saying blogging was dead. I thought maybe long-form writing didn't matter anymore.
But over the last few months, I've realized something...it matters to me. Whether it's the main way people consume content or not- I love writing in this space.
I love slowing down. I love documenting our days in more than captions. I love finishing a post and knowing it holds a full thought.
Blogging brings me joy. And that's a season to return to.
Since that post...
We were pregnant with our third set of twins.
We miscarried one.
We moved out of the RV. We bought a house out in the country on 3 acres.
We miscarried again.
We’ve been living in the country for two years now.
The babies grew.
The older kids grew taller.
Homeschool continued.
Our days filled out in new ways.
There were seasons of pregnancy and postpartum.
Seasons of grief. Seasons of great joy.
Seasons of adjusting and rebuilding.
One thing that stayed steady was how we ran our home.
We still made beds every morning.
We still cleaned up after every meal.
We still reset before leaving the house.
We still protected quiet time.
We still homeschooled at the table.
Even in the RV.
Even during moves.
Even when life felt uncertain.
The rhythms held.
Over the past few months I’ve been writing more intentionally. Not because our life suddenly changed...but because I began to see more clearly what has stayed the same.
The rhythms.
The steadiness.
The way our home runs quietly in the background of everything else.
I’ll still be sharing our days here.
Homeschool moments.
Ordinary dinners.
Little snapshots of life with nine children.
But I’ll also be putting language to the systems that carry us...
the ones that have held through moves, pregnancy, grief, and growth.
That’s where I’ve been. Living it. Refining it.
And slowly preparing to share it more fully.
If you’ve been here since the RV days or longer, thank you.
If you’re new, welcome...I’m glad you’re here.
