If you been reading here for any length of time, you know that some of our family lives twenty plus hours away and we usually only see them once or twice a year. This is often hard on my momma-heart. We recently made a trip to visit friends and family and, best of all, to…… Continue reading pure joy
This year I will come to a life crossroad. In a couple of ways, this is true. This will be the final year of homeschooling my crew of six over a crazy 28 years! Also, as our church plant blossoms into an independent, thriving entity, my part in it is changing, too. In the early…… Continue reading fulfilled
I’ve been slack when it comes to writing here. I get other things in my head and just get overly focused–at least until I’m distracted by the next thing. That’s why I often forget to document the process of the projects and recipes I share. I decided to go through some posts that I’d started,…… Continue reading today is a good day
As Easter approaches, I’ve been meditating on the completed work of Christ as He took my sin upon Himself on the cross. As such, I’ve been reading some older posts and thought I would re-share them with you. This was first posted March, 2016. This photo was taken at the Billy Graham Library I have a…… Continue reading it is finished
Last time, I mentioned I have advent calendars on my brain. I admit we often resort to the cheesy foil wrapped countdowns, though we have had Playmobil, Lego, Lindor Chocolate and Body Shop (that one was a treat for me) calendars in the past. Even the cheap-o ones can be fun, especially when they’re Star…… Continue reading all in my head: advent reading plans
Well, it seems I’ve been MIA. I hope you’re having a fantastic summer with lots of reenergizing and reconnecting time. We finished our homeschooling at the end of May so as to prepare for a busy summer. And what a busy summer it’s been! It’s a summer centred around people–family, friends and new friends. Isn’t…… Continue reading MIA
“If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice in your head will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh Because yesterday was Star Wars Day, I decided to take the day off from History and do something a little different. I decided to do an art class.…
That time of year when we celebrate love is almost upon us. To be truthful, we enjoy the day, but don’t make too much of it. My children have been (and a couple still are) homeschooled, so we’ve never had a need to do the big valentine card thing, save perhaps for a few special…… Continue reading love is in the air
Like so many, I love Christmas. My df girl and I started watching Christmas movies on the first of November. She perfected her Christmas playlist and listens to it whenever she can. My cl boy cannot understand this. He believes there should be a law: NO CHRISTMAS MOVIES, MUSIC OR DECORATIONS UNTIL DECEMBER 1. Caps…… Continue reading christmas gifting ~ wrap it up
Seems I’ve been MIA the last few weeks. We have had a steady stream of visitors this summer…and more to come in the weeks ahead. We’ve also made a trip to Ontario this month and one the previous month. We don’t usually travel in the summer, as that’s our busy time, but we actually made…… Continue reading there is a season
