I have this odd love of designing our own Christmas cards. For years I made our own out of scrapbook paper, a picture, and usually a little letter in it.

This year I wanted to have it reflect having a heart for Christ. Then I saw this saying somewhere, so I knew I had to incorporate it into our card somehow. This is what I came up with. So…

Merry Christmas from The Sterks!

I am so thankful to be able to celebrate Christmas this year not in pain and not so out of it.

To The Person On The Other Side

I get it. Loud kids can drive people crazy sometimes. I used to have those same thoughts. When I was naive and in my 20s, I didn’t get it. I didn’t get that kids just acted up when you least expected them to and sometimes when it’s the least appropriate time. The other day I…

Katie is two weeks away from being Mrs. Jongekrijg! (And it took me about 2 years to remember how to spell that last name :)). Last night we had her bachelorette party and what a fun time it was! We first headed to the Bobarino (aka the Bob) for a meal, and then headed back…
