  • 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…

  • Things I’ve Learned about Homesteading

    During my homestead journey, I’m so lucky to have the Amish to learn from .. because really, who does it better? Things I’ve learned recently: ~ We eat what we have instead of what we just have a hankering for… I was talking to the Mom neighbor and she was telling me that she got…

  • Planning the Homeschool Year

    Hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here! Life has gotten away from me… So much has happened and I’m not sure where to start or what exactly to update on… Let’s talk about homeschool since it’s actually in the name of the blog. I have enjoyed having the summer off and this…

  • 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…

  • 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…
