  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Enjoying the Life God Gave Me

    As I sit here in the dark of night, on my 46th birthday, I’m pondering all of the great things that have become part of my life and how life isn’t anything like what I thought I wanted. Growing up we lived in shiny new houses and bought new things. I enjoyed this and when…

  • 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…

  • Steering Clear of Overwhelm

    Are you like me? Do you have a hard time saying “no”? I suffer by not being able to say no… everything always sounds amazing and things I know I’d really enjoy. Then I find myself with too many things started … nothing is getting finished … and I’m FROZEN in a state of overwhelm.…

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…

  • Peace that surpasses all understanding.

    Today we are going to look at the Bible. I am such a fan of Paul and his letters to the churches. Let’s look at Philippians 4:7. If you have the Bible app on your phone, it was today’s scripture. It says: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts…

  • Lazy Day

    Yesterday’s contentment has carried over to today as we’ve had a snow day. I spent the day listening to homeschool classes and books while being lazy on the couch with my favorite blanket. Today I sent this text (see pic) and it was totally an “aha” moment. My life is so radically different than I…

  • Contentment

    Do you ever just look around and feel really really content? With your “stuff”? What you’ve accomplished for the day? Your family and your home and your cooking and your homeschooling and your parenting … just all of it? I found myself here today. I sat down, after having an amazing meal, curled up on…
