Middle Child turned ten yesterday! It’s hard to believe a decade has passed. She is such a joy…so sweet, creative, and kind. We celebrated with a sleep over, followed by a family party. We’re a little tired after all the festivities, but it was a fitting way to ring in the double digits! The celebration … [Read more…]
It’s been a crazy month, with a lot of ups and downs. We have been thinking about moving to a suburb nearby, which is closer to hubby’s work and our church. We adore our little displaced farmhouse, and the thought of leaving it is so sad…but we spend so many hours in the car that … [Read more…]

Eldest has not been sleeping … [Read more…]

This morning, I was feeling quiet and lazy. All three kids and I crawled back into bed after breakfast, taking with us various books and one small cat. The older two moved on after finishing their reading, but Youngest stayed and snuggled with me as she studied the ceiling. “Were the people who made this … [Read more…]

I’m doing a book club there, we are reading a very exciting book called Make the Impossible Possible by Bill Strickland. I’m so excited about this! We have already had quite a few … [Read more…]
Writing that bit about my grandparent’s kitchen brought back a flood of memories, and lots of thoughts on my childhood and how things were back in the time I was remembering. One thing I want to make completely clear: My grandmother was a wonderful, loving, very kind person. She was one of the most generous … [Read more…]
