Healthy Simplicity - Library Time

Library Time 73

On September 12, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Books1 Comment

I read a really great novel recently. Marta's Promise by Jeanne Dennis is the story of how Germans were asked to come to Russia by Catherine the Great. They endured great hardships which did not end just because they arrived at their destination. 17-year-old daughter - Rainbow Valley by Lucy Maude Montgomery 11-year-old daughter - …

Friday File 37

The first week of school is over, and it went so well. It's a little frustrating at times that my Grade Two son can't read yet, but we have seen improvements already with the exercises we are following to cure his dyslexia. For the first time ever he did a page of math facts and …

First Day of School 2015

On September 9, 2015 By mrsjschonIn School5 Comments

I really don't like change. I hate new routines although I enjoy the routine of school once we're into it. All of this explains why I never make a very big deal of school starting. We just jump in with both feet as if we've already been going for a month, and this is nothing …

Healthy Simplicty - Back-to-School Party

Our Back-to-School Party

On September 8, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Family3 Comments

We're kind of hit-and-miss about having a back-to-school party. It all depends on how rested I am at the end of the summer. One thing for sure, I always strive to keep it as simple as possible so I'm not adding to my stress load. Also, we generally have it the day before school starts …

Healthy Simplicity - Hymns of Encouragement

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

On September 7, 2015 By mrsjschonIn encouragementLeave a comment

This is not a hymn in the sense of hymns that we sing in our churches now. However, when I recently listened to "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" I was inspired to look up the lyrics. I wish I had done so earlier - they are so rich with meaning. There are actually two sets …

Healthy Simplicity - Library Time

Library Time 72

On September 5, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Books12 Comments

I've read a lot of novels lately. Most of them have been more or less what I call "brain candy" - not requiring a lot of thinking. I wanted something a little more meaty by still in the novel genre. So I went back to one of my favourite authors for novels - E. Phillips …

Friday File 36

On September 4, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Friday2 Comments

We took a few days away as a family this week - the last hurrah before school you might say. We didn't do anything terribly exciting, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway. This article says something I've tried to live by every since I was married. I really don't feel like my day is started properly …

Eva-Joy’s Birth Story

On September 3, 2015 By mrsjschonIn Baby5 Comments

Today is my oldest daughter's birthday. This is the girl who launched me into the adventure of a lifetime that we call “motherhood”. All my life all I wanted was to be a mommy with lots of babies. When I was little I would play house with my two sisters. They would be the two …

Welcome to My Blogging Home

Hello, I’m Jennifer. I’m a recently widowed pastor’s wife with eight children. Nothing really prepared me for the wonder and chaos of being a mother to eight or for the agony of losing my best friend. I use this blog to keep myself organized and to hopefully be an encouragement to Intentional Simplicityyou as well.
