A Summer Break
We have lots of stories and lots of things happening around here….like our last minute trip where we spent more time in the truck driving to our destination than we did at our destination…and more baby chicks…and the unexpected visitor the boys found sitting in the chicken nesting box…ohh, and our new CSA groceries…but alas, we have had…

Ramblings out from under the cardboard boxes…
To sum up my life lately…. I am not completely unpacked although I am functioning and I found my computer. I have been consumed with our new endeavors of farm life and am loving every minute…almost…of it. Soon, I will post some pictures and maybe give a virtual tour on life around here. For now, I have…

This upcoming week is going to be a busy week for our family –actually, the next 3 weeks. We will be preparing to move to our farm and as you can imagine, this long awaited moment, is producing great amounts of joy and anticipation from the oldest to the…well…next to youngest. Yesterday, we spent a…
Last moment reflection of 2006…
As we are in the last minutes of 2006, we have been gathering, as a family, today thanking God for His kind Providence on our lives. We rejoice for a well lived year in 2006 and are grateful for all the abundant blessings and trials! We look forward to a new year in our Lord,…
What to do with the Boys? Saving Our Boys From The Feminists!!!
Ask any mother who has boys and she will tell you a tale that is sure to dazzle you….a true tale of the mysterious wonder of what we call…. a boy! The simple fact is boys are different than girls no matter how loud the feminist scream! They act different. The learn different. The play…
Cold Frame in a Hurry and… Winter Time Gardening
Although we have had temps drop below freezing already this Fall, we have not yet needed a full time or mostly full time cold frame. Broccoli, lettuce and cabbage are doing very well here thus far. I have tiny broccoli heads on my broccoli plants and am anticipating fresh home grown broccoli soon. Today my…
So Busy……Even Had Time for a Chicken Harvest!
We just returned from Thanksgiving break spent with my family. I love having a big family…so many people to see! We had a rowdy good time around the family meal table laughing and talking about good times with brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma’s and grandpa’s. Our trip was short because of our responsibilities back…
God’s Beautiful Creation and the Morning Hike
I finally figured out how to get back in shape. We have a beautiful sprawl of wooded acres behind our house and now that the temperature is cool and the leaves are falling the threat of snakes is behind me, I promised the children a hike in the woods. Last night I mentioned that after…
One other home making challenge….
Gardening, along with bread making, is easily passed by as something those other people do, or use to do. I realize now that much hard work went into gardening not as a hobby, but a vital part of family life that determined if you ate or starved. I talked to a grandmotherly woman recently and…
Blogging changes coming 2007!
I lament to my husband frequently that there are never enough hours in a day and that if only I could go without eating and sleeping, I could get much more done! Maybe I am a hyperactive housewife? I just don’t think those extra things are extra. What’s baking bread or growing a garden in…

Homemaking Rethought
The feminist movement would have us believe that the life of homemaking is only for uneducated, low achieving, lazy women who do not have any ambition to do anything profound with their lives.
