A few weeks ago my kids and I had VEVO playing in the background while we did school at the dining room table. The music was upbeat, and helped to keep us focused. We smiled at each other as we sang along. It was very Brady Bunch like. Then a song came on that we didn’t know, but we all were ...

When a Do-over Isn’t an Option
Yesterday evening was pure chaos here. I was upset we weren't gong to a party we were invited to because a home project didn't go as planned, and attitudes across the whole family were poor. Dang it, I was dressed, my make-up was perfect and my clothes looked goooood. Everything was falling in ...
Bless The Lord My Soul
Emotions have ran high the past couple weeks. I've prayed for the Lord to break my heart for what breaks His, and he has. Along with that there's been real true deep heartache, and tears. I've been in mourning and feel like crawling under the covers and staying there... but then the little people ...
I give more than one iota for unconditional LOVE
Hey Kids, Tonight your dad and I played a game called iota. it's labeled as "the great big game in the teeny-weeny tin". We just got it a few days ago and finally got a chance to sit down and play it mostly uninterrupted. I won the first game by a long shot (296-199, if you're curious). But the ...

(Did you like ...

Positivity Challenge- Day 2
Thank you God for: 1. Coffee. Sweetly flavored with a touch of pumpkin puree. Sipping it slowly from my raspberry colored thermos mug makes me happy and warms my body on this chilly day. 2. The flexibility of homeschooling and being a stay at home momma. Yesterday we were able to "drop and go" ...
One. Extraordinary ONE
What a beautiful Sunday. I love my EXTRAORDINARY church family! Today was what we call Rally Sunday, where we had a combined service where the first and second services joined together to worship as ONE. The 3rd & 8th graders received their bibles and the leaders of the church were presented. ...
Positivity Challenge- Day 1
I was nominated by my friend Autumn of Pretty & Mine to post 3 positives of each day for 7 days. I'm a rule breaker, so I'm going to instead post 7 positives for 3 days. I'm also going to be posting them HERE on my blog, rather than my Facebook where I was nominated, since I did the 7 day ...
