5 Helpful Habits for Peaceful Homemaking

September 14, 2015

Back when Josh was studying crazy long hours in school, I slipped into a horrible homemaking habit. After caring for the kids and working my online job during the day, the last thing I felt like doing after dinner was cleaning up the kitchen. So, after dinner, we laid the kids down and then I … Continue reading...

Just as the full force of summer's activities started, we lost internet for two weeks and then my laptop screen displayed a shimmering mass of pixels whenever I tried to use it.

Balancing a Homemade Lifestyle

June 15, 2015

Want to bring back the charm, taste, and health of a fresh homemade lifestyle, but don't know how to squeeze it in? Here are some simple steps.

Recently we read Laura Ingall Wilder's "Farmer Boy" aloud as a family. No matter how productive of a day I'd had, it seemed lazy in comparison.

Bright juicy strawberries peep through luscious green leaves, fulfilling my long-held dream to grow my own strawberries.

Becoming Poison Ivy Experts

June 3, 2015

Learn to identify this pervasive itch-inducing plant to protect yourself and your loved ones!

My poison ivy adventure began almost three years ago. The kids and I had just moved into our home. Joshua was still wrapping up his job in Alabama, while I started the unpacking process.

Abstract Art Drawing for Kids

May 27, 2015

Practice patterns with this fun and simple abstract art project!

Sometimes I wish I was a more crafty mom. I wish I enjoyed making a ginormous mess while we created fun memories together. Truth of the matter is though, the simpler an art project is, the better. At this stage in motherhood, I don't need help with extra messes. Messes multiply fast enough without … Continue reading...

Summer Hopes

May 21, 2015

Sun Flower

I've done it again. Let my blog slip to the back burner while life (with colds and another round of the stomach bug) took front stage. Every time I fall behind I think I'll be better prepared next time. Then life happens, living takes precedence over writing, and I find I'm not that well prepared at … Continue reading...
