It's December already. Christmas will be here so soon, and there's something about having children that makes one completely aware of how fast time passes. It's tempting to spend these few days we have before Christmas thinking about "stuff and things". I really like giving gifts. It's not about the stuff, but about showing people I love them. … Continue reading Time and Pancakes

Goals for November 2015
It's November. 2015 is almost over. Am I the only one struggling to grasp that?! Last month, my goal was to get by. This month, I'm a little more ambitious...emphasis on a little. I'm starting to feel better. I've crawled into the second trimester this week, and wonderful things are starting to happen. Though morning … Continue reading Goals for November 2015
October 2015
As you may have noticed, there was no "Goals for October 2015" post, because I didn't think "just getting by" sounded all that ambitious! Morning sickness is no joke, and quite frankly, nausea is the bane of my existence. I am emetophobic (I have a serious fear of vomiting), which is a very real thing … Continue reading October 2015
Yes, Let’s Talk About Anna Duggar
I was scrolling through my news feed on Facebook recently, when I noticed two of my friends shared the same post, which basically said, "Let's talk about Anna Duggar." I thought, "Yes! Let's talk about Anna!" Anytime there is a scandal involving a man being unfaithful in the media, I always hurt for his wife. … Continue reading Yes, Let’s Talk About Anna Duggar

I’m Taking the Road to Health Less Traveled
Friends, I have been looking forward to sharing this post with you so much! It's no secret to people who know me that I geek out about natural health. I've spent at least half of my life learning about food and how it affects us, body and soul. I was very athletic from a young … Continue reading I’m Taking the Road to Health Less Traveled
Goals for August 2015
July passed just as quickly as June in the Dummel household. I'm actually excited for summer to end, although that sounds like heresy as I read it back. Summer in Indiana is sacred; we soak up the few warm months before the long cold season comes. I thought that staying home 6 out of 7 … Continue reading Goals for August 2015
The Weekend Wave: August 2
Do the wave! God continually brings incredible people into my life. I am so thankful. Our friends Joel and Melissa announced they are expecting TWINS this week! That's exciting enough, but when they explained how they've battled infertility for years, I was even more in awe. It just goes to show that you never know how … Continue reading The Weekend Wave: August 2
