Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey I have been at peace with decisions that I made to provide an environment for my children that embraced their over all well-being. An environment of interest, creativity, strengths and weaknesses, love, joy, kindness, and yes even disagreements with brother but healthy disagreements. Healthy disagreements where we can learn at a young age to control ourselves, our emotions, and our reactions. I know as an adult there are some that we will face that are challenging and everything seems to be a constant battle but as an … [Read more...]
Homeschool
It has been raining for like the millionth day but the rain has forced us to stay home more than usual and allow us to really focus on some things around the house. So even though I miss the sunshine I am thankful for the rain too. We started a whole new adventure since the last time I really blogged on this space. When I first started this blog years ago it was such a time of healing for me and flourished into a space of writing about my faith, love, loss, and motherhood.

I hope you love it too! I prefer to cook my … [Read more...]

Family, friends, nurses, even strangers wrapped us in prayer and love during our loss and grief. I poured my self into raising awareness and helping other moms the … [Read more...]
Thinking about Summer
We have completed our first two weeks of school and although it has been a bit of a whirlwind getting used to the schedules, activities outside of school, and church it has been amazing. We are now in 5th grade and 4th grade and I am in my 4th year of teaching computers in elementary. Our routines are a little bit different this year with my son being at a new campus for 5th grade away form my campus.
