Check Out Our NEW Nature Blog, "FOR THE BEAUTY"
We are a homeschooling family that has our mix of funnies and failures, along with triumphs & successes. I am a recovering perfectionist, who is ever so grateful that I serve a perfect Savior. He teaches me that I have a lot to learn, but also that He has brought me a long way.
I have been the bride to the most gracious, sweetest man in the world for the last 10 years. What I love most about him is that he is always striving to be a better husband, father, and child of God.
I am also the blessed mama to
OUR TWO GIFTS:
a creative 8-yo Darling Daughter who loves pink, dresses and reading, along with a new-found passion for horses, and
a 4-yo tremendously adventurous Little Man-in-training who loves bugs, dirt, running, and eating.
On this site, I share about our homeschool, life, and other assorted odds & end. I also LOVE information and helpful resources to help us along our homeschool journey, so I make sure to add those in too so they can be passed along to others who might also find them useful.
(If you are wondering about the curlers, go down to the Sweet Monday section of the sidebar. It's a women's ministry that was started in Richmond, Va, and when we moved from there, I decided to start one down here. While Im not doing it this year, please feel free to glean away from my entries of all the programs & devotions we did.)

"The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties." ~Noah Webster~

Audio of The Confession of Saint Patrick This autobiographical essay was written by Patrick himself (450 A.D.) It is a valuable history of life in the British Isles during this era. Patrick was born in England or Scotland, kidnapped and sold into slavery in Ireland as a teen, escaping probably to northern France, and returning to Ireland as a missionary after a prophetic dream... it's quite amazing that this record has survived!

"Watch for the storms of God.
The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms.
Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside?
That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen.
Let God send you out through His storm, and dont go until He does.
If you select your own spot to be planted, you will prove yourself to be an unproductive, empty pod.
However, if you allow God to plant you, you will "bear much fruit" (John 15:8)." ------------ My Utmost for His Highest, March 11th
