No Audio or typed blogging this week

Guess what....

I won't be blogging (audio or typed) at all this week due to the busyness of the week. I really thought I was going to do a typed post on the weekend, but I never got around to it. Sorry. :)

I have the children's homeschool evaluations this week, Thursday, so I am going to spend the time I would spend recording my audio, to put together their portfolios. Fun!! Actually, be praying that all goes well. I tend to get a bit nervous when the evaluator comes, even though she is an amazing, Godly woman who would never say anything negative....But the thought always crosses my mind that there just might be a first, beginning with me.

Anyway.....I might do a recording on Friday so stay tuned.

Well.... hope your week is filled with love, joy, and much peace!!

Lets stay connected and remember you can go back and "listen" to this past week of recordings I did. Listen in to some of my testimony. :)

Love ya much,

Chris

I am so thankful we do not have to do portfolios or evaluations in our state. What a pain! We just take a standardized test for third grade, fifth grade, 7th grade and then as Sophmores. No attendance records or anything. Love it!

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!! I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful. I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude. I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much. It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me. I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!! :( I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly. Seriously! I was letting everything bother me!! I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter. I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden. A burden that no one had put on me. I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies. After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story. Truly! So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time. As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking. My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children. I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
