The day that I have been dreading is upon me at last: Today I will start homeschooling five of my children. Five. All at once. With a two-year old (Marie) and a hyper-active 8-month old (Grace) in the wings. [said 8-month old is currently on my lap, tearing apart my desk and trying to get … [Read more…]
Wow. Did you ever have one of those days when you REALLY, truly, wholeheartedly didn’t want to be around yourself? Yeah, that was me today. Too often I cruise on auto-pilot, thinking I’m pretty much A-OK. Not excelling in the holiness department, mind you, but basically getting a “satisfactory” grade all around.

Fantastic game… the thrill of running as fast as you can, that slight fear when you realized you were going to get caught, and the sheer simplicity of it all — you run, … [Read more…]
I just recently “made the acquaintance” of a highly inspirational blog called “Down To Earth.” I love seeing how women around the world are taking the little corner that God has given them and truly made it theirs! Read her latest post here on “Finding Time for Needlework.” I found this to be most helpful! … [Read more…]
First, I would like to wish my Dad, my father-in-law, my husband, my brothers, and any and all dads out there who may possibly read this a Happy Father’s Day! We — your wives, children, siblings, and friends, thank you for being the strong, wonderful dads that you are. God bless you all for everything … [Read more…]
If you’ve visited my blog lately and asked me that question, I thank you! I’m back. My husband has been out of town, and my parents graciously agreed to come down and help me out. In between sick kids, my dad who threw out his back, and running all the errands that I would normally … [Read more…]
