Hello and welcome to my blog!

I am the mother to four wonderful children so far. Emily age 8, Jeremiah age 6, Joshua nearly 4, and Bethany 14 months.We homeschool our children, following the example of our family and friends. My husband homeschooled starting in the seventh grade and I homeschooled my Junior and Senior years of highschool. Our mothers have both homeschooled for 10+ years. It is just the normal course of things for us. This school year proves to be both busy and exciting! Let me set the stage...

We have been married for nine years this September and have had a traveling lifestyle due to my husbands job. We have lived in Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Maine, Ohio, Flordia, California, Oklahoma, Washington, Georgia, Texas,and South Carolina. About 5 years ago we bought 30 or so acres from a brother in the Lord. We always looked forward to actually getting to live on the property...we started building our home and devolping the property, but the Lord had other plans. We prayed and prayed that His Will would prevail and waited. Then in June a job oppurtunity arose and it could only have been the Lord. My husband took the position! On June 23rd we moved home and are getting settled! Praise the Lord!

So, here we are...for the first time in our homeschool experience...books all on the shelves...at the SAME time. There are charts on the wall. I created our schedule...WOW! That is amazing in and of itself. We are all so excited to start 'school' this year!

We will be using a mix of materials....Sonlight Core 2, MOH 2, Singapore Math, math drills and flashcards, journaling, and some notebooking. We will listen to some of the Children's Classics Collection and study some art masterpieces. And learn to care for our new kitty, Tigger. That is another first for us, a cat.

I will blog here on the happenings, calamities, and funny notions that go on around here; as well as new revelations and testimonies from my day-to-day walk with the Lord. So, please, make a cup of 'warm beverage', pull up a chair, and spend a few minutes with me as we walk down this most blessed of seasons in our  lives. Our job is of greatest importance to our Father in Heaven. Their is no other ministry we can partake in that will please Him more, than the hours, days, and weeks we spend molding our little ones into His image.

God Bless your day!
