      Busy Day

        Today was a full day! We did school. I cut the front grass (most of it, till I ran out of gas in the mower). Josh cut the back grass. I baked 3 loaves of bread. We did hammered flower impressions on fabric. I made a wire ribbon flower, like this one, only mine is turquoise blue. I made dinner… Read More »Busy Day

        Our Weekend Gift

          This past weekend’s weather was gorgeous. We went to a nearby favorite park to enjoy a bit of God’s creation and we celebrated Emma’s 2nd Birthday (technically a couple of days late, but she didn’t mind).Swinging on favorite swings. Playing in the VERY COLD water. Sophie enjoyed her first ride in a swing. Loving the sand and the water, which… Read More »Our Weekend Gift

          Theological Thinking

            Yesterday’s discussion at home was interesting. Here’s the question: Can you back up all your decisions with scripture? The topic came up because the author of a blog I read posted the statement that “I think it is wrong for Christians in America to have their children in government controlled schools”. I’ll let you read the most recent post, the… Read More »Theological Thinking

            We Are Home Makers

              Being a Home Maker is by far the hardest job I’ve ever had. Even when I was working 16 hour days, living on double cappuccino’s with a shot of vanilla because I couldn’t get sleep, my job was easier than it is now. But my “job” now is absolutely, by far, the most fulfilling one I’ve ever had. What I… Read More »We Are Home Makers

              My new favorite thing

                Why, oh why did I wait for so long!!?? I finally bought myself a Moby wrap. My midwife told me to, but I didn’t listen to her right away. I have 3 other slings, and I used those. (One of which I used to carry 3 other children. Yes, I’ve had it for a while.) Well, after trying to carry… Read More »My new favorite thing

                He said what?

                  I know my husband. One of the things I know about him is that he doesn’t say much. I’ll ramble on about almost anything, talk thoughts out as they pop into my head, express my oh-so-many opinions at any time. Not my husband. He talks, but he’s more careful about what he says. So I know when he says something… Read More »He said what?

                  My Schedule Sets Me Free

                    I fought against having a schedule for years. I’m too spontaneous. I don’t want to be tied down. I want freedom. Well, not having a schedule really didn’t work very well. I always felt like I was behind. I had to get everything done today. Right now. All of it. So this year, I made schedules for us. A schoolwork… Read More »My Schedule Sets Me Free
