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.

  • Thanks Kristi!

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

    If you need a website or blog design, I totally recommend Kristi at p*co creative.

    • Do Me A Favor, OK?

    I was wondering what would be the thing that would break the ice to get me back to my blog. I think this is it. A precious, precious girl that I know (whom I have watched grow into a godly young woman) is about to be married. She has an opportunity to win free wedding photography, and I am asking you to vote for her and her fiance’.

    Rebekah has spent the last few years of her life (while many others her age partied and goofed off) working to get herself to India to minister in an orphanage there over and over again. She has such a servant’s heart! Together she and Michael are equally passionate about this, and will be investing the first 8 1/2 months of their married life in this ministry. Bekah has also ministered to me by caring for my children, and they all adore her.

    If you get a minute, please drop by and vote for her and Michael to win the free wedding photography. Here is the link to vote.  We can cast votes until November 30, 2009 @11:59 EST to vote and it will only take a second. Thanks to everyone who helps!

    P.S. I’ll be back. I think I really just needed a reason to start blogging again. :)

    We miss you Julie!
    I still keep you in my sidebar and every few days or so wonder what’s happening with Julie’s family? Have they fixed up their bus?
    Oh they are still making salsa….
