November 2020: My thankful list -There’s still some pretty leaves hanging on. The YouTube Holderness Family has helped me laugh a bit more this month. It’s nice to see the faces of our dance mates as we dance from home again. I’m so thankful for God’s love that endures forever, and for His comforting peace in difficult times.
How do we teach our kids to wade through the turmoil of this life? Today’s devotional from Jesus Calling for kids by Sarah Young is food for thought.

Rosalyn and Pearl
Meet the two new additions to our family! Rosie and Pearl are delightful gerbils who are getting used to the sights, sounds, and smells of our home. We’re eagerly waiting until they’re comfortable with us so we can hold them in our hands.

September 2020
September 2020: Started out lovely, the middle was… challenging, and now we can breathe again! Well, still trying to “breathe” through this pandemic school situation. Learning to NOT try and do everything at my pre-pandemic/pre-toxic air capacity. Learning to be thankful – for each day is still a gift. Bring on the happy orange pumpkins and squash!!!























Putting Myself Out There

As my LEGO hobby grew over the last few years, I’ve been frequenting websites for reviews, rumors, and ideas. After seeing other LEGO photographers’ work featured on one of those sites, Brick Fanatics, I decided to submit my favorite LEGO photograph to see what would happen.
I visited Brick Fanatics today to see the new LEGO 1989 Batwing, and as I scrolled down, I saw my photo as the Brick Pic of the Day.

That photo always makes me smile and I hope it sparks inspiration and joy to others.
If you want to see other photos I’ve done with LEGO, I have two previous posts and you can scroll down my Instagram feed.
