The Mennonite Mom

Hello from beautiful Turkiye! Nolan and I are wrapping up a 17 day trip this weekend and are so grateful to God for safety, health, and the opportunity to strengthen the connection in our marriage thru time away alone. 🙂 no video today. But I'm excited to share this beautiful country with you and the fascinating history we explored once we get home and I can start compiling the million amd one videos. 😅 Happy Friday!

You all have been such an incredible support, so I want to do better at informing you when I change up the schedule. (I used to assume no one cared… but for the massive crowd of 2 who do 😁 this is for you) 😋

Due to the unavoidable process of aging, I no longer am as capable of burning the midnight oil to finish a project as I was 10 years ago. 🤣 At 10:30 PM. last night, with only a few hours of editing left, I decided sleep was a necessity I could no longer sacrifice. Thus, bumping today's video to next Friday. (I'm excited to share our favorite feature of our new build).

What are your plans for the weekend? I'm headed to a women's church retreat and excited to connect with my friends and leave all other work duties till next week. Happy Friday!

No, nothing bad has happened to us 😀 but I do apologize for dropping off without much word for months. 😕 People have been messaging me concerned that something bad has happened so I'm popping in to wish you all a Happy New Year and letting you know we are doing well!

I've decided to share a video from our Private Group to all our email subscribers. It's a peek at some of our house addition, as well as an update for my plans for getting back on Youtube. If you want to see the unlisted video, make sure to subscribe to our email list (I don't spam your inbox), and we will send that email out on Monday, Jan. 5th.

Not My Preferred Pace… But Still Grateful

The past 5 weeks have been a lot.
Not the slower, routine days I usually crave, but five weeks of go-go-go, barely-home, where-even-is-my-sanity kind of energy. 🤪

And yet… there’s beauty tucked in the chaos. Excitement in the mess of a house addition, connections with family and friends amidst the never ending packing and unpacking. 😀
Moments of laughter, growth, grace, and even a few deep breaths if I catch them just right. 😂

So I’m taking a little break here for a few weeks.
Trying to embrace the mess, live the story we’re in, and trust the routine will return soon, Lord willing.

Hey friends, I wasn't able to get a video up today (due to a chunk of extra work that hit us unexpectedly, and also turning things off for a few days to just be with family). Thanks to Hilton's free night awards, we were able to spend a few days in the sunny south over school break. (I'm so grateful for the experiences credit cards have given us).

The children had great fun. Two of the highlights being "Herbie" the unfortunate hermit crab that the children found and played with for some time... and the big iguanas running everywhere, scaring us half to death.

Thanks for putting up with my random postings, and understanding as I try to prioritize family over youtube.

See you around!

Hey, hey friends! I'm on my 3rd attempt trying to get today's video uploaded. Trying not to get frustrated with these technical issues. It may not be posted tomorrow as it's a larger video and taking quite a few hours to upload. Thanks for your patience, but I think it's a fun one: Our last travel video in our Hawaii series. See you in a few!

I'm beyond grateful for the Father my husband is to our children! In light of Father's Day, we made a fun little reel for Mama Java. If interested, you can watch it out over on that page: https://youtu.be/3PjtmYJZKDU

What is your favorite thing about the your Dad or husband? I love how compassionate Nolan is, as well as always trying to lighten the mood with his humor!
