“Perspective”
Life seems to have a funny way of showing me what’s next. Last year, God showed me to focus on contentment. We did some of the simplest things in life. We went camping. A lot. I am not tired of it though, so that says something. Simplicity can be bliss. I also spent way less […]
What’s in a Word….2017 Edition
I’m not too much of a person who reflects on things. I always thought I was. Maybe the truth is I used to, and now life just gets so filled with laundry, dishes, cooking and kiddos, that I don’t take the time to sit down and think through what works and what doesn’t and really […]
Journey
I wrote this post back in July. A lot has happened since then…however this is a prelude to whats to come, so I thought it was important to still share. Sometimes our lives continue on quite a consistent pathway. Other times, this isn’t so. It seems the past 6 months or so, life has taken different […]
Coming Soon….

Those big, a-ha moments where you have the option to let your world cave in, or when you have the chance to fall into Grace. God’s grace. His unmeritted favour. Grace. Oh how I need […]
The Great Debate…Organizing our Food

What’s in a Word…2014 edition
Back in November, as I mentioned here, I was thinking about 2014. So many good things happened in 2013. It was a year of great Grace and patience, as I waited on the Lord to help me understand what He wanted me to do next. More kids (the Mister just “loves” when I bring this up!;) ), […]
Cloth Diapering Explained
Source I get this question a lot. Why do you cloth diaper? You are crazy! Well, ok, I’ll admit I can be a little crazy at times. I used to tend to do a lot at once and overflow my plate. I would describe our cloth diapering adventure much […]
