Happy Thursday, ladies! I can hardly believe we are nearing the end of the week. I've been trying to get into better shape since my youngest is no longer nursing, and goodness, the past few days have been tough. I'm grateful to have some resemblance of self control back, though. I'm always so hungry while … Continue reading I’m Back on Instagram (For Now)

Simple June Blessings
Sometimes I wish that time could stand still. Perhaps you know what I mean. My children are growing like weeds, and I want to do all that I can to enjoy them. Each day they are marching closer to independence, and I simply love being a mama of littles. I'm trying to soak them, and … Continue reading Simple June Blessings
Our Anniversary Gift Has Arrived!
We got the call last week. In March, my husband and I ordered an Amish-made log canopy bed in honor of our anniversary. A splurge, to be sure, but I am super happy with the decision. Rolling words like Amish, log, and canopy bed together makes me feel pretty wonderful. Anyhow, we got the call … Continue reading Our Anniversary Gift Has Arrived!

Excitement has been buzzing around our house all weekend. It has been such a good one. Normally I am perfectly content staying home, but we have been gone quite a bit the last few days.

A Homemaker’s Day: May 5, 2021
The day seemed to dawn early this morning. After a long night with a little one, I would have been quite happy to stay in bed!

A Weekly Glimpse Into Our Home #13
Happy Tuesday, ladies! The days are getting warm and my kiddos are itching for summer. I, on the other hand, relish the beauty and (relative) coolness of spring. Georgia summers can be simply sweltering! Granted, we are in north Georgia, but it can get very warm and humid where we live. I've been working in … Continue reading A Weekly Glimpse Into Our Home #13

So much of this week has been glorious! The weather has warmed up in our neck of the woods, and we have been spending lots of time outdoors. I love this time of year.

How We Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Late last night, I scrounged through my closet, looking for a few bags of Valentine's Day goodies. Once they were found, I arranged a special place for each child, writing their name on a scrap piece of white paper. It's Valentine's Day! While my husband and I mainly practice our faith in Messianic ways, we … Continue reading How We Celebrate Valentine’s Day

A Homemaker’s Day || February 8, 2021
The day dawned early and bright, with excitement in the air. It was my son's birthday! I could hear him up and chattering through my bedroom door.

My husband enjoyed the sourdough loaf bread that I … Continue reading A Homemaker’s Day || February 8, 2021

Why I Gave Up Instagram
Instagram. I used to love it. Well, I still kind of do. But I decided to delete my account, along with Facebook. Goodness, it was hard. In all honesty, I miss it a lot. It was where I read about new homesteading ideas and found encouragement from mom bloggers. I was part of an awesome … Continue reading Why I Gave Up Instagram

What a Time to be Living In
Dear friends, what a year this has been! One of my weaknesses is the tenancy to be anxious, and anxious I've been over the past months. This is no way to live. I know that I should trust in the Lord to be my refuge and strength. He has promised to be our help during … Continue reading What a Time to be Living In
