The Sweet Life...

Another year older

Posted in family
Well, it’s been another year in the life of Tink. Yesterday we celebrated her 4th birthday, and what a day it was...gifts in the morning before Daddy-man went to work, friends over in the afternoon for a time of play, and cake in the evening for a sweet ending to a special day.
When I look back over the many changes that our family has gone through during the past 4 years I marvel at God’s continuous faithfulness. We’ve sold a home, bought a home and had a new baby--Tink (in a whirlwind two week period), had a fifth child--Babycakes, had a job change, became parents to a teen, suffered through physical ailments and lived through a whole host of the never ending mundane. Yet God is faithful to us even when we aren’t faithful to Him...Amazing! Think about it...we are so important to Him that He never gives up on His chosen ones...oh! how grateful I am that He chose me before the world began.

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
