I’ll be totally honest and say that some weeks I just get by. I do what has to be done – the homeschooling, the dishes, the laundry – but nothing extra. Those weeks I’m usually lagging behind. I upped my game last week. I worked hard. I even exercised 3 times! I’m not saying that [...]

A Stay At Home Dad For A Week
Wednesday night was the first night I did dishes in 10 days! Believe me, I didn’t miss it one bit. Last week my husband and I had a taste of each other’s normal roles. A small taste, but it helped us understand each other a little better.
For 3 days I was the one getting up [...]
Too Busy For Children?
My husband gently reminded me of a fact that I often forget: What good is it to get extra things for the children if I lose the time spent with them? The time to teach, train, and love them.
A lot of ladies talk about balance. How to balance our lives. How to get everything done. [...]
What Is An Abundant Life?
Remember the survey that I did a while ago? The following question was left for me and I saved it to answer, but then forgot. So I hope that whoever is reading is still checking in with my little ol’ blog.
“I started doing Gold Canyon Candle Home Business along with working outside the home. I [...]
Dreaming of Laser Eye Surgery
I have a dream, but it’s a totally selfish one. I dream about not having to wear contacts or glasses. I do know that it’s not good to go into laser eye surgery expecting to be totally lens free, but a girl can hope – right?
I have worn glasses or contacts since first grade and [...]
Good or Bad Habit?
I finally got the hang of only pouring half a cup of drink for my children after my third child was born. Now I automatically pour a cup half full any time I pour drink.
At our friend’s house yesterday I was closer to the drink and so I got some for my husband. Poor man [...]
Rambling About My Birthday
Here’s the story of my day yesterday. I’m actually talking for over 3 minutes. That’s the opposite of what I advise, but I had a busy day! You won’t hurt my feelings at all if you don’t watch the embedded video.

Do Things With Charity
Last week my Bible reading was the end of I Corinthians. Verse 14 in Chapter 16 really popped out at me.
“Let all your things be done with charity.”
I knew that I was not doing all my things with charity. You know what I thought of first? Not my friends, or church, or work. I [...]
Different Paths Same Destination
Sometimes my husband and I speak 2 languages. It’s technically both American, but we can’t understand each other. I explain things the way that makes perfect sense to me. He tries to tell me a totally different way. I, of course, think my way is simpler, but he just doesn’t get it.
We both end up [...]
A Crazy Busy Engagment
He asked me to marry him on Flag Day; not by plan, just by happenstance. It does make it easier to remember. Since I had another year of night classes to finish we decided to marry the next spring. Thus began one of the busiest years of my life. I worked full time, planned a [...]
