Merry Christmas!

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. I don’t really have the time to do so anymore during this stage of life, but I still like to design one using my fav photo editing program, PicMonkey. 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. We truly have so much to be thankful for – especially our Savior who gives us continual hope, when circumstances aren’t always easy. It is our Christ, our Living Hope, that we can cling to and ensure our hearts this season, rejoice!

Fall is back in the air! We sure enjoyed the warm temps last week and wearing shorts just one more time, but there is something to be said about all the colorful leaves falling! Just can’t beat falls in Michigan I feel like! It has also been an interesting week when it comes to my…

A Trip to Shipshewana & Amish Grace

Yesterday I had the chance to go to Shipshewana for the day! I met my mom, Aunt Lori, Aunt Linda, and Grandma at our first stop – the flea market! Oh did I find some deals! Side note: if you want to save some money and know a little bit about what they sell there,…

Around The Home

Thanksgiving is always such a special time for us. I feel it’s cliche to say that we are thankful for all of the many blessings, family, and friends that he has given us, but we truly are. We were able to spend our Thanksgiving with family and now having a child, we are realizing how…

Around The Home

Next week Mazy will be 11 months old! Wowzas! Love this girl more and more each day! It has been quite cold this week, so that means no walks for us, which has been a bit disappointing, but it is February in Minnesota! Hopefully we will be able to get outside again soon – otherwise…
