It has again happened. We missed the signs, ignored them, wrote them off, or whatever it is. We didn’t do it on purpose, we weren’t the only ones who didn’t notice. Our five year old has severe vision issues. Two years ago she had a complete vision exam, all was normal. We were told to…

Unplanned Homeschool Break~Happy Birthday Isaiah
Once again, I come to tell you that, we are not the perfect homeschool. Why? Because, life happens, children get sick, computers crash, and there are six children in my house, and when they need me as a mom rather then a teacher, I become a mom 100%. See, God made me a mom before…
From Homeschool, to Homemaking, Keeping Priorities Straight During Illness

And, We have Another One…
A broken bone that is. Spring 09 (April) our then a few days shy of 4 year old daughter broker her wrist. Six weeks later (June), after her cast is off, her little 19 month old brother broke his leg. Both of them were doing something we do not allow, but seemed to be…
Weekly Wrap-Up—Swimming, Baby Rashes, and a Need to SLOW Down
This week has been very busy. It wasn’t really planned that way, but we had two opportunities to go swimming—something we do not do all that often. Then we had a doctor appointment, garden needed attention, my husband’s aunt passed away and daily life doing chores and homeschool. Sunday, we went to church and came…
My Top Ten Ways to Naturally and Safely Help Control My Allergies.
I don’t remember a time in my life that allergies have not been an issue. However, in recent years, I decided to do a bit of research and talk to some who have naturally controlled their allergies. Yes, I still have to take an allergy medication sometimes, though not all year, and not for a…
Mother’s Day Just Happened to Be Our Noah’s Fourth Birthday
Four years ago right now, I was laying in a hospital bed, waiting for my induction (don’t bother slamming me for this, my history, my decision;)), thinking this baby was not going to come. I had been having what felt like “good” contractions for several hours, but he wasn’t moving down. I was distraught and…
Another Success Story-Hannah has Eaten Foods Four Days in a Row.
Eating has been a struggle for Hannah from the beginning. When she was born, she was met with some unexpected challenges. Those challenges led to a few more, which led to fairly severe GERD. At two months, Hannah, was not gaining well, and was started on Previcid. She stayed on it for seven months. We…

Encouraging the Stay at Home Mom-Being a Titus 2 Woman
There are just some days that can be so overwhelming that you struggle to see that there will be a tomorrow. For me, these days are not the days that there is lots going on, they aren’t the days that I didn’t get much sleep either. These are the days when I realize that I…
Why We are Not Attending Church.. and a Health Reform Idea…
This has nothing to do with our church in general. It has everything to do with our children’s health. For years we put up with going to church on Sunday and ahving a child sick by Wednesday. When there were only 2 or 3 children, many times, everyone would be well within a week or…
What Do You Miss?
Today, I was browsing around on a homeschool forum. I noticed a post titled “What do You Miss”. I thought miss about what? Then as I started reading, I became VERY frustrated. The jist of it was what were mom’s missing since they have had children? Ok, not too terrible right? BUT!! I was seeing…
Update on Hannah-Tiny, but Ready for the Races!!!
She has hit the 13 pound mark. WOOHOO!! Six months old and weighing in at 13 lbs 5 oz. Now, that is a tiny six month old, considering that she was born at a whopping 9 lbs 6 oz, but she is slowly gaining, little, by little. She may not be gaining weight by leaps…

Here I share about my world. My world as a stay at home homeschooling
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person. -

I started working hard on November 12, 2012. I hope to lose a total of 60 lbs, but realize that may not be a realistic goal. My biggest goal in this, is to be healthier and to feel better!
