1 Peter 3:1-7 is always referred to as "one of those tough passages." But...why? Tough for whom? For what reason? Admittedly, I've been in the position where understanding and obedience to this passage was difficult, if not irritating to me. So I sought to understand it, and as a result, God began to show me … Continue reading God’s Design for Family
Baking with Einkorn
Maintaining a sourdough starter is like having a really finicky 5th child that eats exclusively einkorn flour and water. That might be an exaggeration. None the less, it is more effort than I previously thought. But it is DEFINITELY worth it. My family has been largely gluten free since 2013-14. Mostly due to my own … Continue reading Baking with Einkorn
Homeschool in the Summer
This will be our 3rd- wait, 2nd? No... 3rd- official summer doing homeschool. I decided after our first year which included teaching a preK pre reader curriculum and taking care of a 1 year old while pregnant with babe #3- yeah... That was a LOT- I decided to take a break from teaching lessons. Which … Continue reading Homeschool in the Summer
Lime Washing the Fireplace
One of the things I've both loved and hated about our house since we moved in is the brick woodburning fireplace. I love that it's brick and wood burning. I also love the design with he curved hearth and the recessed walls. I hate that the room, which is north facing gets so dark with … Continue reading Lime Washing the Fireplace
Face to Face
Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me? Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by! 2 Only faintly now, … Continue reading Face to Face
Lies breed Fear
I encountered something misleading yesterday and it really stuck in my craw. I was gifted this really pretty drink dispenser as a house warming gift when we bought our first home in North Carolina. It has since suffered a broken lid- what with 7 moves and lifting and storing- it isn't surprising. So I found … Continue reading Lies breed Fear
Homestead Update: Happy Mother’s Day!
I had a funny conversation with my oldest. He likes for me to pray with him before bed, asking God to prepare our hearts for the coming day. I mentioned something about mother's day in the prayer and afterward, he asked, "Wait- is it really mother's day tomorrow?" "Yeah," I said. "How can that be … Continue reading Homestead Update: Happy Mother’s Day!
Rainy Day Project
We got a 2nd (possibly 3rd) hand dining room table and chairs 2 Christmases ago; it was my husband's gift to me that he let me pick out. He was going to build a big farm table from scratch, but at the time I saw this one, I thought it was very charming, and had … Continue reading Rainy Day Project
Projects and Pretty Things
Projects get tackled so much quicker when you aren't a slave to debt. I had been so used to scrimping and saving every extra penny that it is actually shocking how when there is some financial freedom and wiggle room, we're able to 1) give more, 2) meet savings goals faster 3) afford ancillary projects! … Continue reading Projects and Pretty Things
Homestead Update
I'm one of those ADD homesteaders... Not only can I not seem to focus on one task at a time (spaghetti brain) but I also constantly ADD to my already lengthly list of to dos...see what I did there? So I've been asking God to order my days. Following the moon cycles actually helps this … Continue reading Homestead Update
