Designing a home-centered life: learning, exploring, and creating with our five littles
We are a baseball loving family. I can remember being a young girl having fun on the sidelines of my dad's games and as a college girl, there was no better way to spend a spring or summer night than cheering on my future husband. Now as a mom of three boys who are playing, I spend even more time (lots and lots of time!) on the sidelines … [Read more...]
I love this story from Kim & her family of the Flat Littles' trip to Florida. They attended the dolphin show at Sea World first, but half an hour later were destroyed from the splash by a killer whale. Haha. Guess that's what happens when you sit in the Splash Zone! I know visiting Sea World can be considered controversial these days. If … [Read more...]
What a treat! Today I'm sharing photos from Lindsey & family, of Simply Diligent, who captured some stunning shots with the Flat Littles in Wyoming. We haven't been to Wyoming as a family yet, but these pictures have me more excited than ever. Wyoming has some history to offer among all the natural beauty. … [Read more...]
Thanks to Abby from Louisiana for sending along these great pictures of the Flat Littles visiting two places with their family: the Chalmette Battlefield during the Bicentennial Celebration of the Battle of New Orleans and the replicas of the Nina and Santa Maria in Houma, LA. The Chalmette Battlefield is in the Jean Lafitte National Historical … [Read more...]
Hey friends! For this trip, the Flat Littles joined Joey and his parents from Florida as they hiked the trails around the site of this restored lime kiln near Ogden, Utah. I love that they took pictures of the scenery and the history for us to read and enjoy. This definitely could just be me, but I tend to appreciate what I'm learning … [Read more...]
The Ahrens family from Northern Virginia is back with more travels with the Flat Littles, this time from three key spots in the Washington, D.C. area. I grew up just outside D.C., so this area holds a special place in my heart and obviously, a lot of our national history also. Their first stop is the Washington Monument. Growingup we … [Read more...]
Our trip to Arches National Park had a rough beginning and a bumpy, but happy ending. We jumped out of our car in the first parking lot to walk a trail with all the littles when the wind suddenly kicked up so badly and just didn't quit. Sand was in our eyes and mouths, and stinging our skin as the wind whipped us repeatedly. After a brief … [Read more...]
Y'all, I just want you to know that even though our pictures are beautiful, they aren't going to even come close to showing how beautiful Bryce Canyon is in real life. If I could go back again tomorrow, I totally would. It is definitely one of my all-time favorite spots we've visited. Besides being gorgeous, it was just a great family day for … [Read more...]
I realized I wrote my post about our visit to the Grand Canyon National Park from the North Rim, but neglected to mention some of our fun little pit stops on the way there. And really the pit stops are sometimes what make the trip so interesting. :) Am I right? We stopped near Lake Powell, drove through Kaibib National Forest, and ate lunch at … [Read more...]
These pictures are extra special to my heart, because they're from my sweet pastor's family. My pastor and his eldest daughter left early-early in the morning for a short trip and were so thoughtful to bring the Flat Littles along for the trip. Here are some snapshots they grabbed on their journey. The one above is in front of crop fields in … [Read more...]
