Homeschooling
School days are beginning in our home. We typically are schooling through the summer and take our breaks during the cooler months. This year, we’re behind on some days so we’re probably going to be schooling through our break times. No one seems to mind, (or even notice). They just have a good time and enjoy exploring new ideas. These are…
Happy Birthday, Mama
My dearest Mama, I woke up to the day I’ve thought on, really dreaded, every day this past couple of weeks. It’s your birthday- I knew it would be hard. I’ve had to stop just to catch my breath. At night I lay in bed, so many nights, and relive our last conversations. I’m thankful for the moments of watching…

(41. babies trying out their world for the first time…everything so amazing, so new) Be still, my heart. Ribs, macaroni and cheese, baked beans……men in my kitchen. Pure happiness.(42. family….how I love all…
greeting cards
If you have a chance, pop over to Courtney’s site today. She’s started creating cards from her photos. They are beautiful! (…I’m not just saying that because she’s my young’un. :D)
home
As we go through our days, always striving to make this house more home, this quote was especially meaningful to me this morning: “it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with, and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the…
in the kitchen
this week’s Bible verse: Courtney, changes these out each week as she reads through her Bible. Each verse is usually a reflection of something happening in our lives. Beautiful encouragement from the Word.
