~ Thankful Thursday ~






Today I am very thankful for a new (to us) couch and coffee table.  When my friend moved to Alberta, Canada.  She blessed our family and gave us their couch and love seat.  I was wanting a red couch and that is what we were blessed with.

Last night we had a comfy time while we watched a show on the computer.

What a blessing! And pretty too! Sometimes the blessings are far above our basic needs. I have been off for so long I am trying to catch up. So much to do with just life and now the holidays. Blessing to you my friend! Lori

Isn't God good?!! He blesses us with exactly what we need and so many times, with what we want! The couch and table are beautiful and I'm so glad you're enjoying them.

God bless you ~ Julie

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
