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…

Creating a Homemakers Notebook for YOUR Family
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…
Homeschool Marriage~Discussion Style
Proverbs 21:19 It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman. The above verse helps me to realize, when I get worn out and tired from a day of homeschooling, and caring for home and children, that I am not the wife God wants me to be or…
Priorities and Blogging
Over the last six months, I have grown more and more concerned about some things in the homeschool blogging community. It seems that some bloggers are so bent on getting 5-6 posts up a week that well, other things are suffering…their homes, husbands, family, children, and even worse…their relationship with God. Some call me unpredictable…
Frugal Grocery Shopping Six Weeks at a Time
Seems every mom of more than one or two children really dislikes grocery shopping. I don’t think it is so much a matter of taking our children with us, but the time and money involved. I would like to say that grocery shopping is fun, but it isn’t. As prices increase and the tummies…
Why the Enemy WANTS Your Marriage…How to knock him out.
A few weeks ago I wrote about keeping your marriage first. I have seen so many marriages fall apart over the last few years, and my heart breaks. Satan WANTS your marriage. Why, because the marriage is a “Holy Institution”. He hates God. Hebrews 13:4-7 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage…
Homeschooling and Working From Home
The Hows. The Whys. The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. I think as a farmer’s wife, I have really worked from home all through the years, but he is pretty flexible, and well, he has to be nice…Ya know? Because, as wife, I have a little pull too… However, I have always been the one…
Personal Goal Planning for Christian Moms~Moms need personal goals too
As a mom who wears many hats, many of my personal goals seem to get swept under the rug, lost in the mush, or just neglected. However, as a mom who is also a human, created in God’s image, I have a desire to complete tasks that may not be so motherhood oriented. I press…
Large Family Mealtime~Creating a meal together.
In the large family, mealtime can quickly turn into complete chaos. Below could be a scene in our home, if I didn’t get creative with who can do what, and adjust my expectations. The toddler gets ahold of the toilet paper, unwinding a whole roll, handing it to the baby who quickly shreds the entire…
The Homeschool Mother’s Journal~February 20
In my life this week… This week, I have tried to keep up with my Life Application Bible Study better. I did a little better. I would like to really get into this study, but it seems I get so focused on doing our family Bible time, and run out of time for mine. I…
Weekly Wrap-Up~The one where the weather has been nice again
This week we have covered lots of school, not because we didn’t enjoy the weather, but because we had the weather as motivation. Get your work done and we can go outside. This week my husband has been working for another area farmer, so we have had to adjust our un-normal schedule a bit…
Juggling Homeschool with Work—Working from home while homeschooling
As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to juggle the many things in our lives to make room for it all. Not only am I a homeschool mom, but I am a farmer’s wife, blogger, blog designer, and book seller. Our farm stuff has become part of our school stuff, or is it…
Happy Birthday Sweet Hannah!!
Hannah had a rough entrance into this world. First a c-section due to her transverse presentation and after birth having neonatal pneumonia. Through it all she has been a blessing in our lives. We have gained more faith in Jesus our Savior along the way. As Hannah has grown, we have enjoyed seeing her personality…
A Sad Day…Put All the Baby Things Away.
Today, I put away nearly everything that would show others there was a baby living in our home. It was time, that I came to terms with the fact that for now, we no longer really have a baby living here. Hannah is a toddler. In many ways I am okay, but in some I…
From Homeschool, to Homemaking, Keeping Priorities Straight During Illness
Let’s face it, we have all been there. There being, a messy house, children out of sorts, and mom or someone in the home trying to recover from an illness or some other unexpected interruption in our daily somewhat normal lives. You know, when Mount Washmore, becomes Planet Washmore, meals become take out or bowls…

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 62 lbs, but realize that may not be a realistic goal. My biggest goal in this, is to be healthier and to feel better!
