Grateful for these dishes and this clean water. In the past (and I’m sure the future), I have felt bogged down by dishes. I’d rather be with the kids, or reading a book, or doing anything else at all. But dishes and food preparation are a part of family life. More specifically they are a…
Taking care of myself so I can take care of them!
Here are some personal updates! Us mamas need to take care of ourselves so we can be the best for our children, our husbands, and for God! CARE I made a commitment last Christmas to take better care of myself. After talking to a friend about new year’s resolutions, I realized that though my health…
Time Blocking and using our time wisely
“Cultivate what matters.” This is the tagline for the popular PowerSheets company. They are sold out for the year — BUT I actually don’t buy these PowerSheets every year — let me tell you my hack — I copy my TENDING LIST from 2018 each and every month so I’m not buying them (my powerhouse…
Blessed by my Retirement, yet many heroes are not allowed to have theirs
I wrote this post on my personal Facebook profile after my retirement was completed. I understand that this sounds nuanced and I wrote it intentionally as such. Censorship is real and I am too exhausted to try to fight or lose my presence online. If you are at all in this same situation, or know…

Another Joy
Another life. One I have longed for my whole life. Another precious one. Our longed for child. All babies are very different. Just when you think you’ve got it, you know what you’re doing, they change it up. God lets you know that you aren’t in control. So was my pregnancy with our third child. …
homeschooling through this winter
We took things very slow. Living was more like homeschooling this past winter. As I shared in my last post, we moved homes. We are now in our new home and it is truly a dream come true, a blessing from God. But it was not without sacrifices. I’m thankful my littles are young and…
on moving homes
Moving houses is something. It is a tremendous loss. The memories. The solidity of it all. Having a house to call home. We intended to move. This is a good move. I needed a second bathroom. Wouldn’t that be nice. And a garage. But 8 years. My babies were born here. I mean — here. And here….
