Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2018December 23, 2018

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.

Celebrate, But Also Remember

I wasn’t going to write a post about love, but then something hit me. This Hallmark holiday has so many meanings behind it, for so many people. I am beyond thankful for my best friend, whom I call my husband. And words cannot express the love and thankfulness I have for our daughter, Mazy Grace….

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…
