Ideas that Maximize Sleep Space in Your Home
When we moved into our new home a few weeks ago, I was skeptical as to how our sleeping arrangements were going to work out. You see, we are a family of ten, and squeezing into a home with two small secondary bedrooms wasn't exactly ideal in my opinion. We had been doing just fine… Continue reading Ideas that Maximize Sleep Space in Your Home
Reasons to Downsize into a Smaller Home
We have recently downsized. And let me tell ya, it has been really hard for me to do. I had no idea just how attached I was to stuff. And space. Without even realizing it, I had attached myself to items that don't even matter. Downsizing is sanctifying. It really is. Every time I ignore… Continue reading Reasons to Downsize into a Smaller Home
Focus on the Lovely
The world around us is full of anger and strife. There is rarely a time that I look at my phone without a sensationalized headline working it's way past my eye. We see it when we hop in the car and drive to the store. We see it...well, everywhere really. While living in a world… Continue reading Focus on the Lovely
How We Paid Off Over $30,000 of Debt in Less than Six Months
If you would have told me six months ago that we would be $30,000 less in debt today, I would have laughed. We were seriously tapped out. Unless I put in time at my etsy store, I thought that we had absolutely no money to squeeze out of our budget each month. Well, if you… Continue reading How We Paid Off Over $30,000 of Debt in Less than Six Months
From Cornerstone to Homemaker
As a Christian mom, I often look to the Scriptures when trying to follow God's will for my life. There is so much that I need help with! Maybe you can relate.

Homemaking is the Ultimate Career
While I was growing up, I had many different career aspirations. Marine Biologist. Architect. Attorney. I remember when I was in elementary school, my teacher decided to sit down with my parents and give them an educational catalog to look through. She told them I was a really promising student, and would make a great… Continue reading Homemaking is the Ultimate Career

Food has always been a struggle for me. I feel like I am domestically challenged when it comes to cooking, and take-out food has been something I have fallen back on for quite awhile.

The Importance of Investing in Our Daughter’s Education
Out of our seven children, God has blessed us with five daughters. And our sixth daughter is due to arrive in August, Lord willing. As a homeschool mom, I'm interested in investing in all of my children. But since we have more daughters than sons, I spend a lot of my time either teaching or planning… Continue reading The Importance of Investing in Our Daughter’s Education
Strive for Five When Homemaking is Difficult
In general, "homemaking" is not my strong suit. I really enjoy the decorating, and the "making your home beautiful for your family" aspect of homemaking, but the rest of it, not so much. I'm one of those '80's kids who didn't have many housework or cooking responsibilities. Over a period of time and with much trial and… Continue reading Strive for Five When Homemaking is Difficult
