A Peek At...
Our Life

November 27, 2009

Updates

I'm still alive. Twins threw me and all my systems for a loop, but I have revamped everything I ever knew about managing our life and things are running smoothly again. Whew. Our cuties are now 15 months old and busy, busy, busy.

The Buzz Around Me

Last minute scurrying to get ready for the Sabbath.

Kitchen Happenings

It is the first time in 15 years we haven't had a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers. Weird. We went to my brother's house this year for a fun change.

In Our Schoolroom

Lots of changes this year. I've got my younger few working with BJU Homesat and I am enjoying it as much as they are. I love Mrs. Walker from 1st Grade! She's SO sweet!

The Garden View

I have The Winter Harvest Handbook by Eliot Coleman waiting for me to dig into this winter, but it is probably too late to implement anything for this winter. I am eager to see.

In The Sewing Room

I have plans to finally get some extra wool longies (diaper covers) made for the twins this week. I am addicted to the cuteness of those cozy things sticking out underneath baby dresses.

Home-keeping Agenda

I've given up on the spotless-all-the-time-in-case-we-have-a-showing thing. Orderly and clean is good, spotless is irrational. I'd much rather scramble at the last minute than get an ulcer.

Simple Joys

Life settling down into a new normal. Sigh.

My 2010 Goals

Well...my hopes anyway


~Do something with my guitar that's collecting dust...like maybe learn to play it.

~Save up enough money and get the bus ready enough to go to Family Week 2010 with the Wallers.

~Be at least 90% faithful to investing my morning quiet time praying and studying YHWH's Word.

~Do 3 good deeds and right 3 wrongs each week. I got this idea from First Fruits of Zion, and it is such a neat way to keep my focus outside of myself.

~Keep a hand-written journal.

~Be faithful to what we have learned from Dave Ramsey, and use a zero balance budget every month.

~Come up with two small ways to make side income to help my children learn to run a business.

~Begin building traditions, recipe files, scrapbooks, etc. for our family's celebrations of the Biblical feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.

~Be outside at least some every single day.

    You did a great job ~ I love the blog, and you were such a blessing to work with!

    • Free Health Books

    I came across these books online several months ago, but unfortunately didn’t print them, then the link where I found them went bad. They are available as free downloads, and this time, I really will print them. I’m sharing the link in case you could use them, too. We never can tell when they may be necessary.

    THANK YOU!! I had looked for Where there is No Dentist several years ago and could only find *very* expensive copies, so did not get one. I really appreciate you posting these links.

    Hi,

    My name is Tearrie and I am the assistant publicist at Hesperian, publisher of Where There Is No Doctor. I came across your blog today via google alerts and I just wanted to say thank you for linking to our website and sharing information about our books. Did you know that our books have been translated into over 80 languages? If needed, they can be found at http://www.hesperian.org/publications_translation.php

    Julie, thank you for the links! I’m curious, did you have to download each chapter as a separate file, or was there a place to download it all at once? I’ll look around some more…

    Holly~

    Yes, I did have to download them separately, but it turned out OK, as not every chapter was one I felt that I needed.

    Thanks for the midwifery one! I can’t wait to read it.
    I have a homebirth coming up in December that I’m attending. (Not as the midwife… just helping as doula). I can’t wait!
