Happy Tuesday, friends. This past weekend was a good one. Homeschooling has been on my mind since our school year is starting soon, and my husband put together a shelving area for me. Oh, how exciting! Last year we used a broken storage bench to store all of our homeschool things. It worked, but didn't. … Continue reading A Little Bit of Homeschool Organization

Tomato Plants and Rainbows
It has been a wet week here at our home. My tomatoes haven't been doing so great, and I've done what I can to protect the fruit already on the vines. They much prefer their leaves to be dry! Yesterday our electricity went out for a while during a thunderstorm. It honestly was a lovely … Continue reading Tomato Plants and Rainbows
Listening to My Husband While Being Content
But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires … Continue reading Listening to My Husband While Being Content
So Much Vanity
Happy Tuesday, ladies! It has been a morning full of work...I've worked on Etsy orders, made a new plan for our goat feed rations, and harvested French Fingerling Potatoes with my little ones.

I've been thinking a lot about home lately. Yes, we are knee deep in home renovation projects, but my thoughts run deeper than that. As much as I like to talk about contentment, sometimes I'm just not. Contentment is a choice. Whether I'm living in a tent or in a mansion, God's call on my … Continue reading Embrace Your Home
Letting Go of Materialism for the Sake of Our Children
Hair color and lots of make up. Dooney & Bourke bags. Many trips to Kohl's and Belk. New cars every few years. These are a few of the things I've given up over time. In the beginnings of my Christian walk, I was worldly. Worldly and materialistic. These two things are quite the combination! We … Continue reading Letting Go of Materialism for the Sake of Our Children
Rethinking Our Mortgage Plans
After having our ninth child, our house has seemed to have grown smaller. Baby gear fills an entire corner of our living room, and our bedroom is filled with newborn clothing and accessories. Despite being on a mission to pay off our house, I started looking at properties for sale on my phone last week. … Continue reading Rethinking Our Mortgage Plans
