Homeschooling & Homesteading

Okay, here is the low down. I am a homeschool mama through and through; on occasion life throws a whopping curve ball your way and you have to really lean into God. Homesteading. I never though in a thousand years that I would need to know what that word meant, let alone become a part

Putting the Brakes on Multitasking

When I’m on top of the world, commanding the forces, I’m a real smooth operator. With the skill of a maestro I conduct a symphony of emails, text messages, school lessons, lunches, brunches and so much more! How do I do it all? I’m awesome, that’s how! Or at least that’s the message my ego

Come And Listen

Few things impact a child’s life more than being introduced to the Bible early in childhood. One powerful way parents can encourage this is through an audio Bible. Listening to the Scripture throughout the day will mold not only your children’s minds into what is true, noble and pure; but their hearts as well. Audio

Do It Nice or Do It Twice

Do It Nice or Do It Twice—Achieving Higher Standards with a Simple Reminder The-child-who-will-not-be-named handed me a paper that was legible, but barely. I didn’t bother to read it. “Do over,” I said, handing it back. Child-who-will-not-be-named stared in disbelief, mouth hanging open like a fish who had just been hooked. “You know the rule,

Just Do You

The people in my house are loud. Unquestionably loud. Deafeningly loud. I, however, am quiet. How quiet? Church mice might occasionally ask me to speak up. I’m out-numbered by my husband and kids, four of the most loving, tender, and funny people you could ever meet. They also happen to be completely audible from any

One Season of Your Life

Hey Mama, just a reminder, right now you are in ONE season of your life. And like all seasons, it’s going to pass and you will enter another. Maybe the next one will be calmer, more peaceful, less chatter and whining all around you. It might be a little boring, even. As I type, Baby

Keep our eyes on Jesus

Hey Mama, just wanted to pop in and help you put your eyes on Jesus. He is still on the throne. While the world has gone mad, He is the same, unmovable, unshakable. He is our great and holy God and Savior, Jesus Christ. We get so caught up in the details of our current

Where to turn when overwhelmed

Hey Mama, it’s Monday. I heard you are drowning. You thought you were going to wake up and start a fresh new day, lots would get done, and you’d go to bed tonight content that so much was accomplished. It’s not looking that way, though, and the day is already underway and moving too fast.
