  • Permission to reset

    I don’t like to think about my past me. Not that she was bad, but because I’ve grown so much. Past me was ambitious as all get out! She was brave and strong and … busy. She was a great sales person. She fought every battle put in front of her (and won). She did…

  • Wake Up Little Susie

    You ever get stuck? You kinda forget yourself for a bit? That’s been my recent journey. Honestly, I thought I was busy… I thought I was doing things. Slowly, my house was getting uncluttered… groceries were still in the fridge… clothes were clean and in the closet. But somewhere along the way, I FORGOT who…

  • The Bright Side

    I’m a completely different person than I’ve ever been before. I know we all grow and change… but my change has been all encompassing! Every aspect of my life has changed, from what I eat, the way I use the kitchen, the people I surround myself with, what is going into my brain on a…

  • Everything In God’s Timing

    A couple of things that I’m learning… that maybe you are learning as well, have already been on this path and remember… or wherever you are on this journey. It’s so easy to get caught up buying the latest gadget, whether for the kitchen, the garden, or even just shampoo. The costs of things these…

  • Easter!

    For those who don’t know, I gave up all social media for Lent. At first, it was easy… then really really difficult. But I got so much done and spent so much time with Jesus. Reading, praying, meditating on His Word. We had some incredible conversations. I redownloaded TikTok and Facebook but honestly, I feel…

  • Tomorrow is the day!

    EEEKKKK!!! This week was chemo week, BUT!!!!! Tomorrow I’m hosting my first Easter dinner! I’m so excited about starting this new tradition! If you know me…. or knew me when I was younger, you’d know that this is absolutely NOT what anyone would have guessed of me. I was not the homemaker… I was the…

  • Palm Sunday!

    I am a little overwhelmed as to completing all of the tasks before me. I’m kind of behind on homeschool planning and everyone is already planning for next year… sheesh! Making me feel even farther behind. But one thing I have learned over the years… just because Jack and Sally are doing something, doesn’t mean…

  • Hard Times

    What do you do when you fall on hard times? I’m surrounded by friends and family that are really going through it. I pray and pray and pray but wish there was more that I could do. One thing God has been doing, as I pray, He puts a song in my heart. The 2…

  • All Good Things

    This past week has been a good one… lots of homesteading and cooking from scratch. I’m honing in on what exactly I want my blog to look like and I’ve decided I’m going to start posting pictures as well. So bear with me as I figure out how to do that. I want the cute…

  • The Hard Days

    While I want this blog to be fun with shared tips, recipes, and all things homeschool and homesteading… It’s also a place to be raw with my emotions and life. Today is my 46th birthday. There were definitely some high points! However there were also some low points and this is me thinking through the…
