Welcome Home: The Year America Spoke the Same Scholastic Language Welcome home… homeschooled that is. Yes, I have braced myself for the onslaught of folks reminding me of the terror of COVID-19. I am not here to negate the losses. We have lost too. Family members lost jobs, friends were very sick, acquaintances passed. I know, none of us can champion that. And I am an Oil Industry brat, so while many have rejoiced at the pump, I stood in …

When I Didn’t Need My Husband, & He Didn’t Need Me What is this thing called love?

It seems to me in the ways of “good” marriages and “bad” marriages, good is perfect, sweet, and easy. Bad means, well, you don’t talk about bad. After all, especially in Christian circles, we should all get along and Jesus can fix anything. Until He doesn’t. Which is baffling. …
The Hardest Thing I Have to Tell My Husband I love my husband. In addition to my love of Justin, my husband, I love color. My favorites are pink, duh, and blue… but of course! I love lipstick, red primarily, and frosty nudes. I am a creative. Also, I am a talker. I am pretty high maintenance, but I believe myself to be low maintenance, which translates to VERY high maintenance. And I am good with this. I have been married …
Oh but story time… I really do love it. Maybe that is the only reason behind my need to continue to invite people to live with me? I love children’s books. And I do love to read to my little people. Among my other favorites is to gift these to new mommas… cause, you gotta start somewhere! It was a hard list to narrow, but here it is… My top 25 most beloved children’s books with links to each!
