    STEAM Library “Camp Out” Adventure

    This activity came up and there was only 1 ticket available, so I grabbed it. I wasn’t sure if it was a super strict “MUST HAVE TICKET” event, or if it was a “please get a ticket so we can know how many to expect” event. Turns out, it was the later. It was so…

    FIREWORKS 2024

    Last year, we started attending our church as “curious” *possible* new members in February 2023… after a 6 week inquirers course, the kids and I were baptized in late May. The June fireworks party was the first event that we agreed to Host- and even though we knew NO ONE- we had the best time…

    Ali Hazelwood Review Round Up

    In May and part of June, I read through the rest of Ali Hazelwoods books in anticipation of her new release. I feel like all of the Steminist books follow a pretty tight trope of “super spunky and quirky but BRILLIANT scientist female meets VERY LARGE and EXTREMELY handsome but grumpy male. None of the…
