*This may be a new idea for some of you, and some may not agree. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!* A while back, I spent some time as a volunteer, helping take care of a bunch of kids in a nursery-type setting. As I played with these sweet little babies and toddlers (they were all delightful), I noticed a… Read more
It is still a little strange for me to think of myself as a homemaker. Isn’t that synonymous with the 1950’s and June Cleaver? I don’t look much like her, and I do other work besides managing a home, as a blogger. When I quit my teaching job to be a SAHM six years ago, it felt awkward to put “homemaker” on my taxes… Read more

John 15:15 says, “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is… Read more
Six and a half years ago, we were just looking at unique handmade wedding rings. After that, I had the privilege of saying, “I do” to a tall, gentle, steadfast, godly man. The wedding rings Parramatta is the perfect one we can wear in a lifetime. My young 22 year-old-self did not understand what a catch he truly was. All… Read more
I have a blogging song. I first got the idea when a friend and fellow blogger shared hers. She said she listens to it over and over again while she’s working because it reminds her that everything she does is for God, and not for her own fame. I love that!
