Over the years, I have tried to find a fairly simple, but nice set of Christmas copywork/handwriting pages to use during the Christmas/Advent Season. I wanted something that would provide opportunity for creativity, but with a bit of structure. My husband and I have always used lots of quotes in our parenting, so came the […]

God’s Wondrous Machine
January 25, 2015 by Leave a Comment
I love science, especially biological science and human anatomy, how our bodies work and all that. One thing I never learned much about was the nervous system… funny seeing as that pretty much is the control center. However, that is not where any of my classes really focused and so I have always felt like […]

When Mommy Gets SICK… keeping up the home, school and life with our children when we are sick can be a challenge. However, keeping our expectations in check and realizing that we can get on top of it all after we are a bit better will allow us to rest and get better faster. There […]

FarmLife Tuesday~Snow
January 6, 2015 by 1 Comment
FarmLife during the winter can be a challenge. We heard the forecast, we kept up with our weather apps on the phone. We prepared as much as we could. We then waited, watched, waited and decided it wasn’t going to snow… But, then, nearly 19 hours after it was said to start, it did, […]

A Christ Centered Family Christmas
December 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Over the last week, we have set the books aside and tried to focus more on Christmas celebrations… Well, in between doctor appointments that is. As we got rolling through December, I quickly realized with four to six doctor appointments a week, we were going to miss having a Christ Centered Family Christmas if we […]
FarmLife Tuesday ~
December 9, 2014 by 1 Comment
Well, this week’s FarmLife Tuesday is a bit boring as it was work in the shop week. I kind of tend to avoid the first week when hubby heads to the shop to actually work on equipment during our down time. Why? Because it is kind of a HUGE mess. He spends this first week […]
FarmLife Tuesday Dec. 2
December 1, 2014 by 1 Comment
I have tried to come up with a better title for my Tuesday post about our farm life. I use the hashtag #FarmLife quite often and believe FarmLife Tuesday is a good fit. Now that it is getting colder, grabbing pictures on the farm may become a bit more challenging… We tend to work a […]

Priorities of a Mom’s Heart
November 24, 2014 by 1 Comment
As I sit, silently begging baby to take a nice long nap, I wonder what the rush is? Why? Why do mom’s want to rush? Rush to the next nap time, bedtime, time away from these gifts God has given us? How do we manage to lose the true Priorities of a Mom’s Heart? Why is […]
Thanksgiving Reading List
November 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Our family loves to read. We read several times throughout the day as a family and independently. I have older children read to younger children and younger children read to older children, all of us read together and so forth. However, I have found that we tend to get tired of reading the same thing […]
A Look into Our FarmLife…
November 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Our lives are centered around our farm.. if for no other reason than farm life pretty much takes a ton of time. Then because it is our income, our bread and butter, the bacon… or in our case beef. Our entire family is a part of our farm chores, from driving tractors, to working on equipment, […]

Planning a holiday and hosting it in your home can be a big challenge, whether you work full time out side the home or stay home with your children. This fall has been a lot busier for our family than probably any other fall in my married life. This is our first fall actually having […]

Wheat harvest 2014 is beginning to wind down here. It seems to me like it has taken forever, but really, it is just running later in the year. Wheat Harvest 2014 Here in our area of Kansas, wheat harvest 2014 has not been a bumper crop. With the drought, and cold temperatures a bit too […]
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
