As a church family, we're working on memorization of Scripture this summer. (James 1:17) and for someone who paid for college through theatre scholarships and memorized countless paragraphs of lines and music, I have a bit of a hard time memorizing God's Word! But, the more and more I see what's going on in the … Continue reading Tips for Memorizing Scripture
Homestead Chaos!
Today is exactly the kind of day that that would see me go into labor- we shall see... My husband went out this morning to check on the animals and move the rabbit tractor to fresh grass for the morning. He noticed 2 baby bunnies from our newest litter had been flung out of the … Continue reading Homestead Chaos!
Preparing for My First Ever Homebirth
One beautiful and charming aspect of homebirth that I'm extremely excited for is the capacity I am afforded to prepare and to have my personal preferences accommodated. After birthing 4 children, I've learned what is "normal," what is "traumatic," how my body handles each phase of labor, when I want a hand to hold, when … Continue reading Preparing for My First Ever Homebirth
Nesting
I've hit a period of urgency in my nesting. I've been saying the whole 2nd and 3rd trimester that it feels like Baby is coming early. She's dropped significantly in 24 hours, and while I sensed this would be the case, I'm still not totally prepared. So, because we're done with school, and I don't … Continue reading Nesting

Happy Mother’s Day, and a Soteriology Lesson
My husband and I have extremely low expectations for ALL holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other such special occasions or life milestones. We've found that when we go into a time like that with high expectations or intentions to make it memorable, someone usually ends up having the flu or food poisoning. His first Father's Day, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day, and a Soteriology Lesson
Busy Boxes: Homestead Style
I've used some form or fashion of busy box/bag for my kiddos for years! But the older kiddos are beginning to weary of my playdough and flash cards. So, in addition to growing the content of the boxes to their ages and skill levels, I'm also putting together some other things for them to build … Continue reading Busy Boxes: Homestead Style
