Today we celebrated our sweet and spunky Kathryn turning 5! This little girl is Miss Do-It-Myself, a natural leader, smart, and full of lots of emotions. Meanwhile, Little Mia turned 5 months on the 22nd. She is snuggly, sweet-tempered, and sleeps well most of the time.

Hey! I’m Kelsie, wife to Joshua, and mom to 6! I have a growing fascination with words and the art of writing. Sharing a great book with my kids is among my favorite pastimes, or just enjoying one for myself over a cup of tea. My days are full of teaching, daily walks, and let’s face it, lots of messes, noise, and food prep. ;) An important theme in my life since I was very young has been fellowship with Jesus Christ through the truth of the Bible. This blog is a place where I share our family life and reflections from my walk with God.
Better Late Than Never
It feels completely odd to be posting this the day after Christmas, when everyone else is putting up photos of adorable kids in front of glittering Christmas trees. I have no such photos just yet. We will be celebrating a week late this year – yes, that's allowed!– due to a number of social commitments.… Continue reading Better Late Than Never
Growing Rich
I'm pretty sure I've never been as stretched as in this season of mothering six. Today, in a short window of time, someone stepped in dog poo, another someone spilled his plate on the floor (twice), my helper needed instructions, the baby was crying incessantly, a toddler was having meltdown, I needed to eat, and… Continue reading Growing Rich

Pregnancy Update
I have been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks now! But due to ministry activities and lots and lots of doctor appointments, I haven't had much opportunity to write anything. So here's a quick pregnancy/baby update: How far along am I? At this writing I am 38 weeks, so on the… Continue reading Pregnancy Update
What Are You Carrying In Your Heart?
I remember a time when I felt very self-conscious living in a foreign country. (Okay, at times I still do!) It seemed I was always drawing unwanted attention to myself. Everything I did was apparently wrong. I made language mistakes. I'd say "thank you" too much or "excuse me" too much. I was too smiley.… Continue reading What Are You Carrying In Your Heart?

You Who? Best book I’ve read in a long time
If I were to compile a list of Top 5 Books that have profoundly affected my life, this book would be on it. I devoured it over the course of a week or so. I even read it twice in a row! You Who doesn’t give any personality tests. It doesn’t explore complex explanations of… Continue reading You Who? Best book I’ve read in a long time
