Healthy. Wholesome. Family. Life.
Our blog emphasizes healthy, wholesome, family-friendly, life-giving choices.
Self-publishing books has been a rewarding process for our family. Seeing hard work pay off no matter what we’re doing is great, isn’t it? With publishing books, we sometimes have to call a project done and other times put it through the revision process.
Read MoreCan you believe that 2021 is almost over? This year has been a busy year for us with lots of exciting changes and developments. One of the highlights of this year was our discovering that Franicia is pregnant with a precious soul who we expect to be welcoming into this world sometime next summer. We also found out the timing of Tim’s transition from the Navy to civilian life also next summer that will likely coincide with our relocating again.
Read MoreThis photo was taken today. The love in their eyes says so much! I loved this so much I asked Tim, “What were you thinking here?” to which he replied, “I was thinking about how much I love you!”

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:30-33
Yay! We made it back home safely a few hours ago and are exhausted but encouraged...
Read MorePraise God that I’m phenomenally better. 😊🎉🙏
After losing a lot of weight due to being nauseated (thankful no throwing up) and not being able to eat much for a good part of my first trimester, I’m so happy to see that my body has improved since reaching week fourteen or somewhere along there. 😀 I’ve gained twelve pounds in just a few weeks which says a lot since I dipped into the 80’s.

Screenshots of WRCBtv's news video of Chattanooga Memorial Service with Mayor Andy Berke
If you would like to honor the military families of the fallen of the Chattanooga shooting on August 15, 2015 the Memorial Service is open to the public. The first 8,500 people will be able to go through screening and attend.
The ceremony starts at 2 pm and the doors will be open earlier to give everyone enough time to be screened and also seated.
The above screenshots were taken from WRCBtv.com's video @wrcbtv in their article below.
We're super excited to announce the launch of Wholesome Press, our shiny, new publishing company. We're still fine-tuning our tag line and putting the store together, but we hope to have our two books, I Know You Love Me, Mommy and Daddy and The Blessings of Visiting Grandma and Grandpa, available in the store by the end of this month!
Read MoreIt was recommended that I start an author page to help us with our book releases and events. If our writing, books, or life has been in any way helpful or an encouragement to you, please help us share this author page or consider...
Read MoreThanksgiving -- what a wonderful holiday! Franicia and I have so much for which to be thankful. We are so thankful for you, our readers and supporters. We are most thankful to God for revealing Himself to mankind and providing a perfect Sacrifice for sin, Jesus Christ. We are also so thankful for our church, Mount Zion in Pensacola as well as our wonderful friends and family.
Read MoreOur busy weeks are over. We were able to stay in Arkansas longer than we had first expected. Shortly after we returned from our trip, we prepared for a church family conference. Then some of us caught a slight bit of the illness that was going around amongst our friends and church members.
Read MoreThank you to all who participated in our giveaway and support for the book. We hope to start a second campaign for Franicia's I Know You Love Me Mommy and Daddy book in the next few days!
Read MoreOur good friend, Matthew Sample II, recently interviewed Debbie Hostetler, the precious woman that illustrated my book I Know You Love Me Mommy and Daddy. The interview is below.

We place photo albums on our website but include a lot of current and past photos and video clips through our Instagram accounts. Our main Instagram account is @timandfranicia
Our alternate Instagram is @largefamilytravel
If we found out about your Instagram account after December 2013 we most likely were not able to follow it. We've been blocked from following or commenting since then. We write to Instagram occasionally through their Comment Pop-Up Box which shows up when we try to do those things.
In the meantime, we use our @largefamilytravel account for commenting when necessary and following private and other accounts that are not on our main account. We have no idea why it happened to us but we've been able to get a lot more personal communication with others by email on our Contact Form and in person despite this.
If you don't have the app on your phone you can still see our photos and videos by visiting this link: www.instagram.com/timandfranicia
We also just opened one for Wholesome Clothing @wholesomeclothing which can be found at www.instagram.com/wholesomeclothing
We are fairly new to Twitter and sometimes will post helpful business tool links, promo codes, Scripture verses, or include some extra pictures.
Our Twitter account is pretty easy to remember: @timandfranicia
We have been able to use these avenues as a way to quickly share a little glimpse of the Lord's working in our lives as well as help us as we produce children's books, non-fiction books, and health and herbal items.
We've been so blessed by the emails and other comments and messages of people telling us they were greatly motivated to know God on a deeper level because of what little they see through our lives on Instagram. Some have even been motivated to find a good like-minded church. Praise the Lord!
How about you? Have you been able to witness to others or make a positive impact on Instagram or Twitter?

We asked Michelle if she could say a greeting for the wonderful people of Saipan! She was so happy to do it!

This past June we had the privilege of visiting a sweet museum in Georgia that depicted what Jesus' life may have been like, the meals that were eaten, as well as the dynamics of the culture. It is a trip we highly recommend!
