Joining the Hip Homeschool Hop
It’s official! Hubby has (finally!) agreed with my desire to homeschool my boy for Kindergarten this year. I’ve ordered our curriculum and supplies, and we’ll be starting school next week – hooray!
Just a disclaimer here, I’m sure the kindergarten public school in our town is just fine. However I feel like my [...]
Teaching About Charity
Hooray! Today’s my day to write on the Seeds of Faith blog.
I’m a bit exhausted today – the little one was up most of the night, and I had no idea if I would be able to write about anything, but as always the Lord is faithful and gave me the words [...]
Outdoor Fun – Bubbles!
I used to hate having to play outside with the kiddos. Seriously, I had no idea what to do with them.
Finally, I learned that you really don’t have to “do” that much. The key ingredients are:

had swimming lessons for my 5-year-old
spent some time at the lake after lesson “swimming” [...]

Thank you Lord, for these wonderful words!
I have been feeling somewhat weary and faint, burdened and ineffective. Kind [...]
I’m Not Perfect….
….no, I’m not.
I’m not perfect…
….but I like what I’ve got!
Do you know that Laurie Berkner song?
Well it certainly describes how I feel — a whole lot of the time!

Been Busy, But Ready For Some Fellowship!
Hi! Come on in! Let me move aside some piles of laundry (it’s clean, don’t worry!) and if you could just hand me those toys over there…..great.
