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…

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…

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…

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…

Noodles Anyone?
Chemo is weird… things hurt my stomach sometimes with rhyme or reason. Some days I’m just in bed most of the day… I’m awake, just horizontal. Luckily my kids are older and this is just life right now. To help avoid all of this from happening, I’ve started on a new food journey. I started…
