A Christian homeschooling farmwife's journey along God's chosen path.
Planning a holiday and hosting it in your home can be a big challenge, whether you work full time out side the home or stay home with your children. This fall has been a lot busier for our family than probably any other fall in my married life. This is our first fall actually having […]
Earlier this spring I found a very easy to set up chore system for non-readers. With our special needs children, I have four non-readers, and many times, the older kiddos end up doing their chores, because the littles can’t read the check list and by the time I find the problem, it needs tended to […]
Homeschool Moms always seem to be on the look out for some great homeschool deals. Over the last week, I have found a few, and also asked some companies to offer a few homeschool deals and freebies. Below you will find deals from A Journey through Learning, All About Reading, Teach them Diligently, and more. […]

Weekends on the farm are never boring. In fact many times we tend to squeeze in more than we could ever accomplish. However, I have spent a little time in prayer about our schedule. We never get five full book work days done in a week. We always seem to need to have a day […]
YES, I found something to help with the daily to do’s. I love my house hold notebook, for many things, but writing out the daily to dos, I always ended up forgetting something important. Motivated Moms has changed the forgetfulness. I have it on my Android phone and as a printed planner. The printed is […]
Home Keeping fun? What is Home Keeping? Well, a house is just anyone’s house, but a home, is well more homey. So, I am calling Home Keeping. Well, one Thursday morning, I woke up ready to set the house on fire….Seriously. The junk and clutter had pretty much pushed me to my limits…So, I decided, […]
A couple of months ago, I put together a new routine for our family. The way I went about developing this routine was different and much more time consuming than ever before, however it was well worth it. The finished routine was not actually completed for about six weeks from when I began putting it […]
What a title ehh? So, how many of you are wondering what’s new, if I am just now mentioning that my head is foggy? Well, here of late, I have been foggier than normal. It all started with an ear infection, and well, it seems there is still some congestion fog stuck in my head. […]
You have probably noticed, that I have been discussing getting our routines and such in order to smooth up our days. Well, I am actually going to keep with that. Yep, our routine is printed and working pretty good, but what I find is that the daily drudgery of some of our chores is about […]
If you are like me, you love the idea of a homemakers notebook. A notebook that will help keep you organized, on track and keep important details you need at your fingertips. However, I like to make them, but keeping up with it…well, not so much. Why? It becomes overwhelming. How? Because as soon as […]
After a few weeks of chaotic attempts of keeping with our summer routine/schedule, I realized it wasn’t going to work. Really not much has changed from our summer, other than I am expecting more indoor work and more school. However, adding or taking anything out of a routine and not adjusting it, creates utter chaos […]
Are you tired of the chaos you experience every year from mid November, through the first of the New Year? Would you like to simplify this season and be ready for company more than 20 minutes before they arrive? Would you like to be done shopping for your groceries and gifts long before the crowds […]
I have tried so many different chore ideas, and they all work for a bit and then, whamo, we are right back where we began. It drives me bonkers, it makes me mad, it creates a terrible non peaceful environment that will literally push me so close to the edge of insanity. However, as with […]
Do you struggle to keep up around your home? I sure do, but there are ten things you can do daily that will help your house, at least appear more together. Wipe and Swipe the bathroom every morning AFTER everyone is done shaving, makeup, hair. Sweep and vaccuum the high traffic areas of the home […]
I like to keep extra shampoo, conditioner, soap, and such on hand. The problem is, with children getting bottles out, my bathroom closet shelves can fall to pieces quite quickly. This past weekend, I decided to work on my bathroom closet. Granted with my bum arm (horse spooked with our six year old on her, […]
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.
