Year 15 in Kindergarten! 🍎 We had a wonderful f Year 15 in Kindergarten! 🍎 We had a wonderful first day! We read stories, sang songs, played, learned routines, and most importantly, enjoyed being together. 🩷 I can’t wait to watch friendships blossom, confidence grow, and so much learning happen this year! 📚 ✨

Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨 This on Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨

This one, however, will for sure be running well into the school year. 😂🏡

After years of looking for land, designing our home, clearing the property, and then making more changes to the house plans (because apparently we weren’t done making decisions 😂), we’re excited to say… WE BROKE GROUND! 🚜🎉

We’re so excited for the journey ahead and plan to enjoy the ride! 🏡🤍✨

Swipe to see some of the progress over the past 3.5 years with our land! 🩷

🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smili 🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smiling from my first-ever Campfire at FlyingHorseFarms!

Flying Horse Farms is this magical camp in Central Ohio, where kids with serious illnesses get to just be kids — to laugh, play, and make memories that heal in ways medicine can’t. 🏕️✨

Camp isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. A reminder that when all kids get to be kids, the world shines a little brighter. 🩷

Seeing that magic up close reminded me how powerful community can be when we come together. 🫶🏻

But here’s the best part: camp is 100% free for every family — all thanks to incredible volunteers and donors who make the magic possible. 🙌

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved… this is it. ✨
Join me and be a part of something truly amazing! 

💚 Volunteer: Be the reason a camper smiles! 

💚 Donate: Every dollar keeps campfires glowing and hearts healing.
