Basement Revamp
Some projects get finished quickly, our basement revamp was not one of them! We’re thankful to live in housing provided by my husband’s company. The house is old but most of it had undergone a big remodel shortly before we moved in. The whole upstairs is very nicely done, even the main part of the basement [Read On]
A Child’s Visions
Caleb, my oldest son, embraced a saving faith in Jesus when he was just 6 years old. Our whole family rejoiced and celebrated his “birth” day with great pomp and circumstance. I happily marked the day in my calendar while his grandmother presented him a with a cake and as his first book of devotions. [Read On]
Becoming O.H. {Part I} The one that talks about divorce……
I have a few posts I want to write. Things like I feel I need to put out there if I am going to claim any sort of authenticity in this space. Some of you have found and followed along with me because I like to build my own furniture and organization. Others have connected [Read On]
All Quiet on the Western {blog} Front
I do my best thinking in the shower. The shower gives me a generally uninterrupted 10-15 minutes to relax quietly and let my mind wander through anything other than lunch preparation, bills that need to be paid, the uncomfortable conversation I might be avoiding or the downstairs toilet that still needs cleaning. I remember the [Read On]

DIY Modern Farmhouse Table
I’ve said it a thousand times, Ana White changed the home decor/furnishing part of my life! I’ve been a total “I’m-never-buying-a-piece-of-furniture-again” convert since finding her a few years ago, and I fear my dear husband has paid the price for the conversion! I like to think he appreciates how much money we’ve saved, but building [Read On]
Bring Love In
Nate and I celebrated our anniversary last week. Thanks to the generosity of a friend we were blessed with a rare afternoon & evening alone. No kids, no cooking, no stress, no computer, no laundry, no job……just us! It was wonderful. We grabbed our river float, drove down to the local launch point and spent [Read On]
You Can Do It Too – an exciting new homeschool book!
Some time ago I was given the opportunity to contribute to an exciting project; a book compiled of the interview-style question/answer stories of 25 {or 26 now as I’m told!} homeschool families from all walks of life. I just received my advanced copy of the book, and let me tell you….it is amazing! All of [Read On]
How some laundry soap taught me about judgment….
I bought laundry soap today. Not a news-making headline for most of us, right?!? The purchase itself isn’t that big of a deal, but I learned a heavy lesson because of it and just had to sit down and share it with you tonight. I’ve been making my own laundry detergent, both powder and liquid varieties [Read On]
