  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • My Healing Testimony

    What do you do when the new wears off? When the excitement fades… and you’re left looking at your ambitious menu for the week and wondering “what in the world have I done?” I have turned the simplest of dishes into my own master-craft by making Every. Single. Thing. In. It… I put the chicken…

  • Ingredients?

    Today totally filled my cup! I had a friend come over and she was super excited to tell me about her homesteading and homeschooling journey! We talked about kids and potty training, adhd and what I’m doing for T to help, we worked together to clean up and reorganize some areas of my house… She’s…

  • GRACE

    Grace. Monday, hubby and I came home from a weekend trip. I was angry and irritated at every little thing… EVERYTHING. I couldn’t figure out why… I’m always so laid back and easy going but Monday, very bipolar (which I have). Things just got worse and worse and eventually we made it home… I was…
