An Encouraging Word

Posted in Christian Life, Homemaking, Homeschooling, Photography, and Reviews

The morning has just begun, but I already feel like I want – I need to just crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over my head.  One thing going wrong seems to lead to another thing going wrong.  Before I know it, everything seems to be spiraling out of control. The house that I just finished cleaning is already a mess.  I have no idea what I’m making for lunch – much less how I’m going to manage to get dinner on the table.  Munchkin is feeling sick.  I’m feeling a migraine coming on.  School?  Well, we’re…

3 in 30: February Week 2

Posted in Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #042 February – the month of love.  Little did I know as I set my goals for this month that only a week into the challenge I would be sitting on the sidelines while my daughter took care of me. I set goals for February that would allow me to show love in my relationship with Christ, my relationship with my family, and my relationship with myself.  I ended up not really accomplishing the goals that I had set up for myself this week. Instead, I found that I watched my daughter’s love for me shine through…
