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.
~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.

I’ve been tagged by Cheri. This is the first time I’ve ever “played” internet tag so this will could be fun. I am to list 7 random facts about myself. Let the record show that had this come from anyone else, I probably […]
After going through the trouble of making yogurt to save a jar of whey, buying from a co-op 50 pound bags of organic oat groats, rolling it into oatmeal, soaking the grain overnight in the whey mixture, cooking it and adding organic butter and coconut oil… I can not bear to throw the stuff away. […]
I hate memes. I do not mind reading them, mind you ~ it is fun to read other folks’ ~ but I know me… if I started doing them, I would feel pressured by the things and feel as if I had to do it every week. I have enough real responsibilities without my […]
