Welcome to my blog. I write about life as a Christian wife, mother of eight children, and grandmother.
Enjoy.
I have always loved Easter. When a little girl, my grandfather would drop off corsages the Saturday before Easter Sunday, one for my mother and one for me. It was always a bit too big looking for me, but I loved wearing it to church the next morning. I think the tradition of woman having corsages for Easter Sunday is outdated, but these beautiful tulips showed up on my table Saturday night. Love them!
Some bloggers I follow have been posting lists so readers can quickly get to know them. I've been thinking of what 10 things about us I might share and finally have my list together. Enjoy getting to know us a bit more!

Rainbow Resource, the super center of all homeschool supply companies, offer 515 full curriculums, and over 700 individual items to help with grammar/usage/mechanics. Overwhelming!

The beginning of January always feels like a new start in being in love. I married the end of December, the 30th, just before New Year's. A few weeks ago marked twenty-two years for the man and I.

Love the budget worksheet for Christmas as it gives space for all those little things that come up over the holidays that we forget.
I wanted to get two additional blog posts up on the theme of thankfulness, but the weekend was just too busy to get them written. Saturday morning started quiet and I decided to bake something pumpkin-ish to get into the thankfulness spirit. By the way, have you tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks - oh my, yummy!
