Around The Home

Just a few pictures taken this week, lots of things done around the house, beautiful weather, and naps taken…

Mazy was craving cookies, and while walking the aisles of Aldi, she saw a sugar cookie mix that okay, I caved, and totally bought. And her face says it all…

A girl after mom’s own heart…Mazy loves puzzles just as much as I do!

Anytime I start to bake or make something, Mazy always wants me to pull up a chair! I started to make the 3-Cheese Quiche from Joanna Gaines and her cookbook, Magnolia Table. And to be honest, I LOVE her cookbook! She uses what I would call pretty normal ingredients, which is a HUGE plus for me, at least! When a recipe calls for processed cheese, sign me up!

Around The Home

If you live in Michigan, you’ll be the first to admit that it was an interesting week weather-wise, but an exciting one at that (depends how you see it, I suppose). Winter has FINALLY arrived and the Sterk household couldn’t be more excited! Here’s why… Mazy received some cross-country skiis from her cousins quite awhile…

Mazy’s 4th Birthday!

This past Sunday, our sweet and beautiful daughter turned 4! Oh we remember the day so clearly, when she came into this world. She came in with such a loud cry that the doctor said she had a good set of lungs on her. Indeed she did/does. But behind the beautiful smile is a girl…

The Love of Family

This past weekend, we had the privilege of hosting my family out here in Minnesota! My mom, younger sister, and grandma made the drive out here and arrived late Thursday night. I was looking so forward to seeing them again, even though we saw them just 2 weeks ago. It was nice to not feel like…

Embracing the Place: Minnesota

Wait… WHAT is that? That would be grass, my friends! We have not seen grass since last November and I am sure anyone living in the north, feels the same way! I wish I was exaggerating, but unfortunately I am not! The wind has blown so hard this past week (especially with the Blizzard Warning…

We Have A Basketball Player!

Our baby girl sure is growing! Today we had the chance to “see” our baby girl again! I had my 30 week appointment, which also meant a “growth” ultrasound where we saw that she is as healthy as can be! What a BLESSING! One. Step. Closer. Each. Step. A. Miracle. She was pretty active (not surprised)!…

Making The Trek…

We made the trek once again! On Wednesday after youth group, Dan and I drove through the night, back to our home state of Michigan. Actually DAN drove through the night; he drove the whole way while I slept peacefully in the passenger’s seat. He is one of those crazy people that can stay awake…
