Homeschooling and mothering 3 boys and a girl spanning 12 years is never dull. Add in a hubby who works in the Agriculture industry with an unpredictable schedule and things can get chaotic pretty fast. But we make the best of it and try to maintain some sort of schedule. Of course, maintaining a schedule is my weakest quality, so that is an ever present struggle to keep up with housework, schoolwork, cooking, gardening and a social life.
This Homeschooling and Mothering category will have most of our story posts in it and it will also share the most important part- what God is teaching and doing through and in our family and home. It is my prayer that through living our life, God gets the glory.
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed welcoming in 2020, this new decade we have entered. As I have done for the past few years, I have chosen a word rather than make a resolution. This year, I’m sensing that the Lord is calling me to a year of thankfulness, restoration and renewal. But my […]

“To God be the glory, great things he has done…” so the all familiar hymn goes. I’m so humbled watching God’s sovereign hand moving in our journey and I can only thank the Lord for the progress that is unfolding before us.

August was a month like no other. It was intense and overwhelming and joyful and frightening all in one. I experienced Lamentations 3:22-23 in a real way. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) We welcomed

In June, we wound down our 3rd year of homeschooling. How 3 years have passed already is beyond me. Although they say time flies when you are having fun, I can’t say that’s the reason time has passed by so fast. Truthfully, it’s been a hard uphill battle adjusting to the homeschooling life, having an

Life happens and it seems I have almost forgotten how to blog! Looking back, my last post was February. February!! For sure I have been hard pressed on all sides and barely inspired to live life, much less living life inspired. It truly has been one meal, one feeding, one diaper change, one load of
Happy New Year! So how is 2016 treating you? My 2016 started out with adding a full nights sleep to my life. Our littlest guy reached 12 weeks and successfully sleep trained the night before our vacation ended. Hubby had a wonderful 3 weeks off at the end of December and we took those 3
For some reason, I felt the need to go back and visit my first post for this year. I had forgotten what word I chose and the goals I had set. Imagine that. Alot of good goals will do if you forget what you are working towards. *sigh* Such is life, I suppose. Anyhow, when

One of the big changes that are happening at our house is we have decided to begin homeschooling this year. The Lord actually brought me through the 5 steps I laid out in my last post for seeking God’s will, which is how that post came to be. I sought the Lord’s leading and mentioned specific ways I needed
Well, how have you been, friend? I hope your new year has started out well. This year’s beginning has proven to be something over here. In a couple days time earlier this month I found myself with 3 new people looking to work with me. I had already been working with 2 people leaving last

Well…. Happy New Year!! Another year has gone and a new has come yet again. We have made another trip around the sun. As the new year dawns, I can’t help but wonder what the days will hold in store for us. In light of the healing God granted me last year, 2015 holds more
