Nothing if Not Intentional
Our blog recently changed names. “The Pipeline” served us well. The Pipeline was our purpose, our trajectory, our theme. While we continue to want God to use us to connect our community to the work he is doing, the blog focus has changed. It’s bigger than just our stories from our trips to Guatemala. And […]
The Woombie Review
In just a few weeks, our not-so-little baby will be six months old. Six months! Fellow mamas, I know you know how bittersweet this milestone could be for me. Six months is when babies start sitting up. Six months is when babies rock back and forth on their hands and knees to let you know that […]
Playing through Winter
For me, January, February, and March are the toughest months of the year. The holidays are over. Sunshine is scarce; the days are short. It’s cold. Stinkin’ cold.

Today let’s talk about the everyday life kind of things that kick us into survival mode: weekends when Mom shivers and shakes on the couch. Nights when Daddy brings the toddler to the […]
Traveling with a Toddler and Baby to the San Diego Zoo
The adults loved San Diego because we love travel, the ocean, adventure, and sunshine. Our two-year-old loved “Sandy Eggo” because of the airplane ride, the sand, unlimited access to grandparents, and the animals. Oh, the animals! What toddler doesn’t love animals? For animal-loving tots, the San Diego Zoo is a must-see. It’s famous. It’s huge. […]
