Winter Wonders-Homeschooling through the Winter Months

I’ve been homeschooling for over 24 years and it is still difficult to press through the winter months, especially with boys.

Recreate, Repurpose, Renewed Home Decor and Home Furnishings

Eight months ago, I didn\’t think I\’d be handcrafting home decor and renewing home furnishing again, but look at God.  As a result of our home fire and now our need for furniture and home decor, I began my journey of purchasing used, sturdy, solid wood pieces of furniture to renew (as seen below) andContinue reading “Recreate, Repurpose, Renewed Home Decor and Home Furnishings”

Children are a Heritage of the Lord

God is Faithful to Bring it to Past

Beds for Bowies Walk-a-thon was truly a success!  Let me explain what I mean by \”success\”.  God\’s will was done; He did what he set out to do…provide!.   When I prayed about our bedding situation God answered me with wisdom and instruction.  He gave it to me piece…by piece.  Please know that this wasContinue reading “God is Faithful to Bring it to Past”
