So thankful for a wonderful week to celebrate Thanksgiving! Not going to lie, I didn’t really take many pictures because we were just enjoying our time with our families! Nothing earth-shattering happened with the Sterks this week, but here’s a little glimpse at what it looked like!

Mazy and I got all decked out for the Michigan vs. Ohio State! I’d rather not talk about the game, but here we are in our matching Michigan Heart Hero shirts!

Dan took Mazy hunting for the first time and needless to say, she LOVED it! Her smile says it all!

Mazy came into the kitchen to show me her feet…this girl thinks of the craziest things to do, like putting rubber gloves on her feet like socks!

Our little hunter in Dan’s shirt and hat…

And for the record, I hear she’s got an EYE!

Snuggles…

This girl is getting into all things girly!

I love it when Mazy puts a stack of books on my lap and says “Read to me, Mommy!” Anytime, sweet girl!

One of her favorite books – Shine-A-Light book from Usborne:

I wanted to sew some new pillow covers for the pillows in the bay window there, and Mazy loves to help me go into “reverse.”

Today I celebrate another year of getting older! It’s been QUITE the year, but I can’t help but look back on my life and see God’s faithfulness in every aspect of my 35 years of life! To say that I have so much to be thankful for is an understatement! All glory goes to God!

How To Have A Stress-Free Pregnancy: Let Go

Magazines, books, websites, and advertisements are everywhere. If you want to learn how to prepare for a baby, really all you need to do is pick up or read from any one of these forms of media, and you will find yourself more overwhelmed than when you started! And maybe even wonder what you got…

Our “Agains”

Still digesting. The more I have thought about what God has done to my heart (again), the more I realize how significant this is (again). Not just because we were given the green (again). Oh the beauty of saying the word “again”. Truly, we are content. A few days ago, I felt this urge to…

Teens and Cell Phone Anxiety

This is an article written by husband for our church’s publication. I couldn’t help but share it with you, knowing that this is such a prevalent issue in today’s culture. Do you struggle with finding a balance of how much time to spend on your cell phone? This might make you think twice the next…

Around the Home + Heart Journey Update

Hard to believe that we only have 7 more weeks of school! It’s easy to believe this when the weather has been nice, but truly, to think we’ve made it the entire school year with school being open has been quite a gift. Something I try to never take for granted, knowing some schools have…

Halloween 2016

Last year, we were not sure we were going to buy a costume for Mazy because we did not plan on trick or treating. Then we decided that really, that was something we looked SO forward to in having a child – dressing them up for Halloween. We found an adorable bear costume that was…

Around the Home

Not a whole lot new around the Sterk home, but here’s a peak into our week! One of our DEAR dear friends, got engaged this week! We couldn’t be more excited for them! The sunsets and sunrises have just been stunning! Saturday we spent the day in St. Joseph with the Vriezemas enjoying God’s creation,…
