Yesterday morning, as a I was organizing our laundry room cabinets, I saw it. There, on the top shelf, tucked away out of site was a little green box, tied with a white bow. My heart sank. “Not today, I can not do this today.”, I thought. So many feelings rushed through my head as I stared at that box […]
Last summer I picked blackberries for the first time in years. I didn’t have to go far to find them either. God gave us wild blackberries to pick right in our own backyard. I hadn’t picked blackberries since I was a child and I had forgotten how difficult they can be to pick. If you’ve ever picked blackberries, you know that there is […]
I’m praying for my big, brown eyed girl today. A girl, a child, that I’ve never met, that I don’t even know for sure exists. For her health, as she grows in her mother’s womb out there… somewhere. Is today the day she was conceived? Is it the day they found out they are expecting her? Is it the day […]
It’s Thursday, which in our area at least, means grocery ads came out yesterday! Which means a new opportunity to save money on the items you need most…groceries. With a little planning you can save money on your groceries… even if… you don’t use coupons. There I finally said it, I don’t use coupons. Coupons seem to overwhelm me […]
As we near the end of January, I wonder how many of us are already wavering in our commitment to our New Year’s Resolutions? Maybe your resolution was to lose weight, or learn to save money. Whatever your resolution, whatever progress you have or haven’t made comes down to choices… lots of tiny daily choices that add up to […]
We’ve been making these Nativity ornaments this week to raise money for clean drinking water for Christmas. (You can read the full story in my previous post.) We have made a LOT of these ornaments in the past week and so far everyone has loved them so we thought we’d share how we made them! We being me and my 5 year old daughter, […]
A few weeks ago, while chatting with my Home Team gals, my friend Jen told us about their 6 gifts Christmas. Immediately, I fell in love with their take on Gift #6 – Something to Share. Missions is something God has really been laying on my heart lately, so I knew this was something we were going to adopt in […]
Every year, as the new year approaches I start trying to decide which planner to use for the upcoming year. I scour the internet and search my local office supply stores but I never quite find exactly what I’m looking for. Last year, I had an Erin Condren Life Planner, I loved that planner, it was so pretty and had a lot of great […]
For the past five years, I have been seeking to simplify Christmas and to teach my sons the real meaning behind it. Sure, we had always talked about how it was Jesus’s birthday, and how He is the true son of God, but we weren’t living it. Rather, like so many families in our culture, including Christian families, we were […]
As a little girl, I can remember dreaming of becoming a mommy and what that would be like! What I didn’t dream about was the struggles my husband and I would face as we tried to start a family. Before my husband and I got married, we had a conversation about my desire to adopt a child at some point […]
Presence… your presence. It’s true of all the things our kids want, the one thing they crave the most is time with you! Of course, depending on their ages they may not even realize or know how to express that desire. Little ones are easy, they readily express their desire in their actions by tugging on your hand, crawling into your […]

Sausage balls have been a Christmas tradition for as long as I can remember. They were my favorite snack each year growing up and one of the first things I learned to make my first Christmas in my own home. We enjoy them every year while we decorate and put up the tree and for brunch on Christmas morning. It just wouldn’t […]
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is enjoying time with family and friends. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays but I feel like it it almost gets skipped over these days, with many stores open on Thanksgiving and it seems as soon as Halloween is over the Christmas decorations come out and ads for Christmas deals begin. I just wish […]
You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts you. Isaiah 26:3 This is the verse that came to mind when I pulled up to the farm Friday. My daughter and I have been fighting off some sort of respiratory virus all week and I was exhausted. When I remembered that I had […]
