I’m a woman over fifty, a mother of 10 children and a Mawmaw to nine grandchildren, but to our tenth child, I am just “Mom”. This weekend, he and I were invited to a costume party for kids and their mom. Costume party? I was feeling like I’ve participated in holiday parties with children forContinue reading “I’m His Mom”

Homeschooling High School
This is my 25th year of homeschooling our 10 children and if you were to ask me what age is most important for me to homeschool I would still say I would certainly homeschool high school. It is very important for me to give our children guidance, wisdom, affirmation and encouragement during that season ofContinue reading “Homeschooling High School”

It is said that flowers can make you happy by triggering your happy brain chemicals and that they can stimulate a sense of pride and excitement.

And Then There Was Three
August was busy as usual at the Bowie home. One of the things we did last month was to move yet another one of our children to their college dorm for freshman year.

We Did It!
Preparation for this school year was a task. Since it will be just the four of us this year I decided to make our homeschool room a bit more quaint.

With three generations, it can be very easy to over look ones and at times, though not on purpose, IContinue reading “Our Children: Three Generations”

The Gift of Grandparenting
To be chosen to be a mom and birth 10 children was a gift in and of itself and now the Lord has been so gracious to bless us with grandchildren and I am in awe with Jesus.

All Things Are Possible With God
My plan, as a young adult was to have 2 children and then I accepted Jesus as my personal saviour and Lord. Twenty-two years and ten children later, I am amazed that I am the mother of so many \”wonderfully made\” people. Though they are all Bowies, they are obviously individuals, created in His image,Continue reading “All Things Are Possible With God”
