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!

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

    • Contact/Disclaimer

    If you’ve been here any time at all (and if you’re new, it will quickly become apparent), you will notice that I am a homeschooling Momma-of-Many (nine at last count), living on a farm with an entrepreneur Husband, and a personal, don’t-fence-me-in-with-a-schedule creative streak. It is the recipe for a full, busy, joyful, busy, zany, and busy life. Did I mention I was a little busy?

    What it means is that I have little time for the computer (much to my chagrin), and that my blog posts are made on an as-the-Spirit-leads-and-I-can-squeeze-it-in type time frame. Professional? No. But it suits my lifestyle, and allows me to blog at least some during a season of life when I might not otherwise be able.

    All that is to explain that, should a week or two go by, and I do not post…it is not likely because something major has happened, rather that life is full and…please allow me to repeat myself…just busy. Don’t worry. :)

    As much as I love to get to know my readers better, be Berean together and discuss all things Proverbs 31 and the like, I have to be realistic and know that I am in a season that does not allow me to be “all things to all people”, so my time to answer e-mail is limited. Don’t let that stop you from e-mailing me should you feel led! I trust the Holy Spirit to guide me to which letters I should answer privately, and which to answer in post form, from which lots of folks can benefit.

    Don’t type any of the spaces or your e-mail will never see human eyes. :)

    So, without further adieu, go check to see if I have posted anything lately. It could happen. ;)
