The Blessing Of Routines
I am naturally an organized person, so I take time to make sure our routines are well planned, regular and predictable. Our family routine includes everyone. It is important for each person to have a role, therefore we are all cooperating together. This has encouraged a sense of belonging as well as unity in ourContinue reading “The Blessing Of Routines”
Consistency Is Key
It’s true, I have many roles or a full plate as one might say. I am a wife, mother of 10 (three of which still live at home), homeschool mom, entrepreneur and a Mawmaw. Though I would not give up any of these roles, I must admit being me is not easy. By nature, IContinue reading “Consistency Is Key”
Your Brother’s Keeper
One of my husband’s greatest desires when we started our family was that our children be close. What did that mean exactly? Though I was not sure exactly what “he” meant, I knew what it meant to me.

We also delve into our history and science completing a chapter of ourContinue reading “Learning and Growing Together!”
A Quiver Full

As I was learning to value myself as a woman of God, this was not a difficult choice for me. Birth control had made seeking love in all the wrong places easy. So, theContinue reading “A Quiver Full”
Winter Wonders-Homeschooling through the Winter Months

The days are shorter, so there’s not much time left in your day after schooling. No matter where you live in the United States the winter months bring on lower temperatures, especially in theContinue reading “Winter Wonders-Homeschooling through the Winter Months”
Our Children and Their Children
I am in awe, even speechless at the joy that I feel when I am able to engage my children with their children. It takes me back to the days when I was nursing, cuddling, training, encouraging, disciplining etc. our children. During this season I could not fathom what the future would hold for themContinue reading “Our Children and Their Children”
