Hello! I’m so happy you are here!
Here’s a bit of information about me and the blog!
Who I Am
- a follower of Christ who strives to be more like Him and less like myself each day
- a sinner saved by grace flowing from an unconditional love that I can’t even comprehend, but pursue passionately
- created in His image by the Creator of all things
- a humbled soul when I remember the sacrifice made for me, the suffering He endured for me, the passion of His love for me and how undeserving I am
- an imperfect person, grateful for the Savior who stands as an intercessor for me, through His blood I am counted worthy and am forgiven when I repent
- an apprentice of the Holy Spirit, the fruits of which are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (see previous point)
My Personality & Circumstances
- I am married to my best friend, with whom I have four great kids.
- I am a homeschooling mama.
- I’m constantly looking for “The Schedule” that works for us.
- I’m starting to think it doesn’t exist.
- I love lists.
- I’m short, blue-eyed and left-handed.
- I love to bake.
- I’m learning to love to cook.
- I know better, but still make cruddy food choices.
- I’m working on changing that. Again.
- I was born with collapsed lungs.
- I’m pretty random.
- This drives various people crazy.
- We have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 rats.
- I like alliteration.
- I love to laugh. And making other people laugh is a highlight of my day.
What I Like to Blog & Talk About
- Homeschooling – We have homeschooled our four kids from the beginning. Our oldest three are now graduated and I’m down to one student. I want to encourage other homeschooling mamas in their journey.
- Homemaking – Homemaking is an area that I have struggled with and part of why I write about homemaking is to encourage myself to do better. I think they call that accountability, but whatever.
- Sewing – I like to sew. The internet is full of fun tutorials and patterns. I like to round them up by category and tell you about them. Then you can pin them to your boards and sew to your heart’s content. Or do like I do and dream of the day you have time to make such awesome things…
- Goal Setting – I like goal setting, check lists, to do lists, mind maps…you get the picture. I also like to blog about them.
Where You Can Find Me
That’s me in a nutshell. As any human, I’m a little more complex than a few hundred words can express, but you get the picture.
