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...

Mapping Luke 7:36-39 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 . I studied these verses a few weeks ago. I am finally getting around to sharing what the Lord showed me as I studied them. Luke 7:36-39 NIV 36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume , 38 and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair , kissed them and poured perfume on them . 39 When the Pharisee who invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who this is touching him and what kind of ...

Sticks and Stones, Words We Can’t Take Back

Sticks and Stones 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 . Have you ever heard of the saying "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?"  I was taught to say this back to other kids who said mean things to me. Truth is, I really don't like this saying. I don’t like it because words really do hurt. Depending on who says the mean words to you, depends on how deep those words will cut.  But no man can tame the tongue.  It is  an unruly evil,  full of deadly poison.  James 3:8 When words cut super deep, they can echo in your mind. This can go on for days, months, even years if you let it. And sometimes you may think you have moved on passed the harsh words, then BAM! Out of nowhere they show their ugly face and begin to echo in your mind again. ...

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...
