Hey friend! This year I really thought about what we wanted to give our heart and attention to this advent season – what traditions we were focusing on. I want to make sure that they are helping my family grow closer to each other and to God. This year, we aren’t planning a million things and instagram worthy crafts and…

Back To School Hack // Hair Station

It has worked for us this far, but with…
