I would love to say that "I don't thrive in chaos." That would be such a poetic, positive way to state my problem: I literally can't handle mess, cacophony or tripping over small objects. I turn into Grumpy Mom. This would all be well and fine if I had pretty much any other job. But, … Continue reading Chores- The Key To Smooth Home Management

Seeking Joy in a Sad, Dark Place
Last year, I shared my "word" for the year, which was Presence. I really wanted to focus more on being in the Presence of my Savior, as well as being totally in the presence of my children and friends. I always have so much on the go, I felt very scattered. I learned a lot … Continue reading Seeking Joy in a Sad, Dark Place
Conflict: God-Style
Sunday, my mind was BLOWN. I saw a fight. There were two sides to the story, heightened emotions, children involved: the whole nine yards. It was beautiful. It was epic. I've never seen anything like it. See, I'm tired of being involved in drama. Who isn't? We all say it, we all post it, … Continue reading Conflict: God-Style
THAT Year
Well, we have a couple more weeks of school, and then we're done our first real year of school (I don't count Kindergarten, because we didn't have to do it. It was still a lot of work though! That stuff didn't come naturally to me.) Our Clever One went from slowly, painstakingly, precisely printing a … Continue reading THAT Year
Trans Fats, Conspiracies and Provision
I'm tired. I have been trying to switch our family over to whole foods, as quietly and calmly as possible. I don't want to hear a lot of whining, complaining or arguing: that's why I don't talk to myself anymore. But as I do this, I am fighting the "rules" that I've been fed for … Continue reading Trans Fats, Conspiracies and Provision
Ordering My Days
Each day we are given 24 hours, or 1 440 minutes, or 86 400 seconds. I'm embarrassed to say that I have squandered a great deal of them. "Presence" is my theme this year. I wanted to spend more time in Jesus' presence, and actively participate in the presence of those around me. When you … Continue reading Ordering My Days
The Conclusion
Well, it's been over a month since I started posting about submission. Like most things in my life, it gets harder right when I think I have it all figured out. You know, like potty training. Just when I start to think, "We've got this! We're okay! Perseverance for Mommy, and self-control for Pretty One … Continue reading The Conclusion
Well. I never professed to have it nailed.
Ok, let's rehash. First, know that ever since I posted the article on submission, I have done nothing but backpedal. It's quite embarrassing, actually. But, my closing argument was that submissive women are just as strong as those who don't. In fact, some might think stronger. I'll let you decide that for yourself. Ephesians 5:21-29 22 Wives, … Continue reading Well. I never professed to have it nailed.

A month ago, when I was phoneless, I watched CTV Newsnet to remind me of life outside my spaghetti speckled walls. No, not wallpaper. Genuine spaghetti sauce. I'll get to it. Anyways, they were discussing the entertainment news, and right after the highlights on the Beib saga, they mentioned a new autobiography by Gabrielle Reece, … Continue reading Press Submit to Enter
