So today I am choosing to find thankfulness. This Thankful Thursday is being written while I still have children that are crying with stomach pain. We had the stomach flu almost 2 weeks ago and two of my children (Samantha and Josiah) developed complications from it. They now have a temporary form of colitis. They […]
Happy Memorial Day.
The ultimate sacrifice. It is not only these men and women that give up so much of their lives to continue to protect our freedoms but it is their families as well. That is something I know all too well. My sister served for 15 months in Iraq, was injured during that time, and still […]
Homeschool Year Review
It is that time again. A time to take a homeschooling year review and see what worked well for us and what didn’t work so well. I must say that I am so pleased to finally be ending the bulk of our learning (we school year round now) and I can say that I am […]

Crazy Missouri Weather
From 70 degrees last Friday to over 6 inches of snow on Sunday Missouri weather sure can be crazy! We were not able to have church due to the road condition so we spent a lot of time just enjoying watching the snow fall and relaxing with the family. We don’t often have days full […]
