Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers
To be a stay at home mother is considered by many to be a waste of our education. Even in Christian circles. We are supposed to be doing something “useful” with our lives and degrees. Something not related to child raising, unless it is with regard to other people’s children. Read more…
I was thinking about this recently : being enthusiastic about certain things and choosing to walk against the tide can come across to some people as being militant rather than enthusiastic.

Back in January 2012, my dear husband shared in his January Newsletter that he had been given a word, “abundance” by the Lord. And now in December, as I look back, it has indeed been a year of abundance. In the homeschooling front, we were blessed to be able to graduate another child from the […] Read more…
In the midst of packing and decluttering to get ready to move out for our major renovation project, we decided that we would visit Perth, Australia for our family holiday. Yeah.
