Library Time 18

On February 1, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Children2 Comments

I really haven't had much time to read this week. Between working on my husband's birthday party and organizing things in our home I've been too busy to read. As well, I've been restless in my reading. I can't seem to settle into any book. I've started a couple but neither really grabbed me. I'm …

Celebrating Family

This has been a busy week, but I don't have a lot to show for it. First of all, my husband has his 50th birthday coming up next month, and I've started plans for a big party. Secondly, I installed a new digital scrapbooking program on my computer, and I've been busy setting it up and getting …

My Complicated Lists (for an easier life)

On January 29, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Uncategorized3 Comments

To-do lists. I love them. I've written them for as long as I can remember. I love the feeling of crossing things off. The feeling of accomplishment. Which is why I always add things I know I'm going to do anyway - like take my vitamins - just for the pleasure of crossing it off. …

Library Time 17

On January 25, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Uncategorized4 Comments

I finally got around to counting up my book total for 2013. I was astounded that I read a whopping 90 books last year. I have to say that a lot of that is due to my Kindle. I can easily bring a book along in the car. I can read in the dark which …

Simplifying Through Sewing

On January 24, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Baby, Friday, Sewing6 Comments

After what seems like forever I think we're finally all healthy again. Just as we were recovering from the flu my oldest son started breaking out in hives. We have no idea what he's reacting to. Personally, I'm wondering if his body is still working its way through getting rid of the flu and it …

Counting My Blessings

On January 23, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Family4 Comments

I am truly trying to learn to be content in whatever state I am. Right now that means a house that sometimes feels about half the size that it truly is. Every week I find myself throwing things away or boxing things up to give away. But sometimes it feels like for every one thing …

English Muffin Bread to the Rescue Again

On January 21, 2014 By mrsjschonIn Uncategorized5 Comments

I have to say - the fun has not stopped around our house. Just as we're all more or less recovered from the flu my oldest son woke up this morning with some mysterious rash all over his back and spreading rapidly. This was only my husband's second day at his new job so guess …

I am sorry that I have been away from the blog for almost a week. Our family was hit by the flu, and when I say hit I mean totally. wiped. us. out. We're almost completely better now. It feels so good to be back to our normal routine even if our appetites haven't quite …

Healthy Simplicity - Sewing

A Simple Pouch

On January 15, 2014March 30, 2020 By mrsjschonIn Crafts, Sewing19 Comments

Today I decided to sew something for myself. Since I don't have a dedicated sewing space I can't leave my sewing machine and serger set up. I keep them on a shelf until I need them and their respective cords in a basket along with my hot glue gun. The problem is all the cords …

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.
