As we approach Thanksgiving, I am remembering the reasons to be Thankful this year. Recent: Over the last month all of my children have been sick at one time or another. The thing is, that well, I get to stay up with the sickies. I find it a privilege to be the one that God…

Noticed some Blog Craziness here? What we have been up too
Yeah, me too, but in the end it should be well worth it. On the Blog…I have kinda jumped off the blogging train in order to work on a few things. Both around the home and on my blog. For Our School…I am working on my school record books, and assignments. I also have been…
Blogging Vacation or Taking Time to Just Be…
Whatever you want to call it, this week has been good for me. I have overcome some craziness that was literally pulling me under waves with currents that were drifting me away from where God wanted me to be. I hadn’t planned this break, but I know I needed it. I have worked on several…
Handmade Father’s Day Wrapping Paper; Special Blessing
This year, we purchased our Father’s Day Gifts for my Hot Guy. He needs, as in NEEDS new work shirts and a couple of good shirts. His are thread bare and have rips in them. Not to mention several are all covered in farmer’s gunk, known as dirt and grease or oil stands. No matter…
Mom Time…Getting that Quiet Time to Refresh
I rarely get a free awake moment from my kiddoes, I don’t even really yearn for it anymore, but summer time is the time I do get it. I get it after they have their bathes and while they do their evening chores. I go out to my garden, weed, water and pray. Sometimes I…
The Homeschool Mother’s Journal
In my life this week… We have been trying pull out of convention mode and get the house in order. It is actually taking longer than I thought. We also finished wheat harvest and have buckets of wheat set back for our family’s use. I just got my van out of the shop this morning,…
Wheat Harvest 2012, from the inside out…
We started wheat harvest yesterday. This is the earliest wheat harvest on record. Normally we don’t cut until the second to third week of June. I remember as a kid spending many Independence Days jealous of non-farm kiddoes who got to picnic, and party, while I was stuck in the field. It has been awhile…
Farm Wife Scurry~31 Thursday’s Link Up
This is the time of year I try to be able to be ready to leave the house in less than 15 minutes with all children in tow. With harvest and hay and all that takes place on a farm, I am often called out to run for parts, water the cows, run for livestock…
On Your Mark, Get Set, Go…Farming is in gear…School is…
Out of the books and in the field. I have tried several years, to homeschool through the summer…it doesn’t work on our farm. We are up all hours of the day, lose our routines, and just pretty much have to be ready to head here, or there, or anywhere at a moments notice. This doesn’t…
Priorities and Blogging
Over the last six months, I have grown more and more concerned about some things in the homeschool blogging community. It seems that some bloggers are so bent on getting 5-6 posts up a week that well, other things are suffering…their homes, husbands, family, children, and even worse…their relationship with God. Some call me unpredictable…
Funny Things on the Farm.
Over the years, me actually driving one of the farm trucks has become quite scarce. I mean, really, not like I can leave the house with my children in a pickup. So, whenever I do go somewhere in them, it seems it always turns out funny. Back in June, I took off ahead of the…
Jumping Out of the Homeschooling Box
Why are you homeschooling? Oh, that is a loaded question, but one of the reasons we chose to homeschool, was we wanted to give our children more than a classroom full of textbooks and workbooks. We want them to learn something with their hands, minds, eyes and ears. We want them to learn to think,…
Farm Life, isn’t Always Roses and Sunshine…
When people hear we farm and live on a farm, have chickens, horses, cows, dogs and cats, they get this giddy, goofy jealous smile. However, farm life, isn’t always all roses and sunshine. Sometimes it is thorny roses and burning sunshine. Farm life can be such a joy, but then it can be really hard….
Homeschool Mother’s Journal Feb. 4
In my life this week… I have been going through curriculum, trying to decide about changes we will be making for the next year. We are struggling with our oldest, keeping his interest and trying to keep him motivated. He is one, I have to work to keep a lot of his lessons centered around…
Why the Enemy WANTS Your Marriage…How to knock him out.
A few weeks ago I wrote about keeping your marriage first. I have seen so many marriages fall apart over the last few years, and my heart breaks. Satan WANTS your marriage. Why, because the marriage is a “Holy Institution”. He hates God. Hebrews 13:4-7 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage…

Here I share about my world. My world as a stay at home homeschooling
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. -

I started working hard on November 12, 2012. I hope to lose a total of 60 lbs, but realize that may not be a realistic goal. My biggest goal in this, is to be healthier and to feel better!
