You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  As you are preparing for the next homeschool year, remember, homeschooling isn’t always about a textbook. While you are filling your planner full of plans for school lessons and activities, don’t forget to intentionally schedule down times too.  There will be days you and your children will just need to get out and enjoy the sun.  So, instead of bad weather days, try to include “Sun” days, “Fun” days. These days can lead to lots of fun and exploring. It gives your kids a chance to learn about some things outside that just may not be in a textbook. Hopefully these moments will refresh your homeschool when it starts to feel dull. Homeschooling isn’t only about academic education. It is also about learning life skills, building relationships, growing as a fa...

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy policy . Photo by Heather  Today I am sharing with you what I feel God spoke to my heart as I mapped/studied the following verses. As you read through this scripture reading, you may hear the Lord speak differently to you than he did to my heart. We are all in different places and seasons of life, and I believe God reveals what we need for each season of our lives as we study His word.  The verses I am studying today come from Acts 2:1-4. We will look at these verses in more than one version. Acts 2:1-4 NIV 1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place . 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed like tongues of fire that separat...

The Day I Stopped Multitasking

No More Multitasking photo by Heather This post may contain affiliate links. This just means if you shop through any of the links I may earn a monetary compensation at no extra cost to you. You can read my full   disclosure and privacy policy . For years, I have been running at full speed. Constantly doing multiple things at a time. I guess I had the mindset, the more I do at a time, the more productive I will be. I also thought,  keeping a spotless house, having gourmet meals each night, doing for other people as much as I could, volunteering in ministry, working outside the home, and so much more made me a good person. Well, not just a good person, but a Godly woman. Actually, I was doing way more than God was calling me to do. Not only was I doing too much, but I also had been trying to do all of those things in my own strength. And I can imagine I am not the only woman who gets caught up in doing more than God asks. I didn't realize I was over doing it until my body starte...

It’s That Time of Year for Stuffy Noses

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  Bonfire photo by Heather  Oh! how fun it is to have cooler weather and enjoy some backyard bonfires and s’mores with family and friends. However, it is not very enjoyable when the stuffy noses hit home.  Especially now that Covid is a thing.  Around where we live, you don’t hear much about the common cold anymore.  If you hear someone sneeze, cough, or sniff, it may stop you dead in your tracks. If you are like me, you may have this thought run through your mind, “Is that a normal cough or is it covid?” If you are the one who sneezes, coughs, or sniffs you probably end up with many sets of eyes staring at you when it happens in public.  Enough of Covid. I really don’t want to talk about it. However, I would like to talk about those pesky little symptoms we ...

Right where I should be

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  I sat there folding laundry. It was way past bedtime. I could have folded it during the day. However, I found myself trying to catch up. I could have just left it and went on to bed, but the pile of clothes would have grown and become overwhelming. Was I really procrastinating?  No, not at all.  I spent the day right where I needed to be.  I could have taken care of laundry in the next room, but I chose to hang out in the living room and let the laundry wait. I hung out with my teenager who wasn’t  feeling well.  Yes, I said teenager. Yes, a teen is old enough to hang out and watch movies without her mom.  But I just wanted to be there in the moment. Be there just in case she needed something. Just being there without saying a word actually speaks “I l...
