I feel like my summer has been just as busy as the school year. Partly that's because I'm now selling Usborne books and have been working hard to learn all the ins and outs. Since I am so busy I've been trying to stay on task with lots of lists. There is something so incredibly …

Books Are BFFs
I hope anyone who reads my blog would agree with me that books truly can be our BFFs. I know that that's the way it has been in my life since I learned to read which I only barely remember doing. I've recently taken my love of books to a new level. I've signed up …
Channels Only
This is another song that we sang recently in church. I love this song because it reminds me of where my focus needs to be - blessing and serving others. This is something that I pray often that my life will be used to bless other people. But in desiring to bless and help others …
Goals for Summer 2020
Spring seemed like it dragged on for so long this year. The end of school felt a tiny bit anti-climatic so that I've barely realized yet that it IS summer. The weather hasn't helped either to be honest - cool and rainy. I'm still wearing sweaters and slippers. Anyway, it just dawned on me that …
O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
Last night in church we sang this song. Before I go on I would like to pause and just say how grateful I am that I GET to go to church at least once on Sundays and sing songs and hear the preaching first-hand. Livestream is wonderful, and I am beyond thankful that we've had …
Simple Living 6
It's been a long time since I told you all what I'm doing with my life. I've been doing a lot of knitting and sewing with a little bit of baking and gardening thrown in. I finished the quilt that I had shown the beginning of in my last Friday post. I'm in the middle …
Little House in the Big Woods
My three youngest boys and I just finished reading the "Little House" series. We loved it. I thought I would update and reshare this post that I wrote about six years ago on my love of all things "Little House." When I was a very little girl my parents gave me Little House in the …
YouVersion Bible App
I don't know about you, but I have needed the Bible so much the past few weeks. The Bible and prayer. My oldest daughter told me about an app I might enjoy because they have Bible reading plans that vary from just a three-day plan to a three sixty-five day plan for reading the Bible. …
Simple Living 5
Where has April gone?! You would think with all the problems due to the virus that time would just be hanging, but it's flying by. My life hasn't changed that much except for church. However, I have felt over the past month or so that I'm waking up more from my grief. I don't really …
Safe Am I
The other day I had this song - Safe Am I - pop into my head. I learned this song as a child but haven't thought of it in years. Then just when I needed its message the Lord brought it back to me. I more determined than ever to make sure my children learn …
