My eldest has a way with words. He says the funniest things…that seem so sophisticated for a five year old. He is an avid inquisitor and investigator of all things unexplainable, making him a studious but easily distracted homeschooler. The rule studied today in phonics was: “if there are two consonants preceding [...]

This painting of a geranium was done in honor of my friend Gen’s 35th birthday. She is redecorating her living/dining room in dark gold and red tones. I love how this painting marries the glamour of gold with the neighborliness of the geranium. How all the more perfect that the meaning of [...]

My kids love family devotions. That is the time every morning after breakfast, when the family piles onto the couch with our Bibles and start our day praying and reading together. We usually begin with a story out of Liam’s Read And Learn Bible. Then we read out of Caleb’s The [...]

Ever since I discovered Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew, I have been all keyed up to craft and sew. I’ve always enjoyed sewing, but have never learned to follow patterns (as with cooking.) This book is perfect…it gives simple directions for super stylish projects that don’t [...]

Charles Spurgeon blows my mind. He puts into words the very thoughts I cannot form. I just had to share this with you–may it be a blessing and anchor for your day…
“My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. [...]

Homeschooling with three kids under five is a challenge. One is always trying to concentrate on math, one’s always concentrating on making a mess throughout the house, and one has no concentration at all. It’s joy and chaos all at the same time. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t ask myself, [...]

This is truly one of my favorite things. For those of you who only know mozzerella in pizza form, this will will be an adventure. The cold, fresh, salty, tangy, and sweet flavors meld to form a delectable appetizer or salad.
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch [...]

Some would not envy my life as a pastor’s wife. Relationships, counseling, working weekends, spiritual warfare, expectations from others, expectations from yourself, expectations upon your children, around-the-clock ministry, receptivity to your husband’s preaching: these all come to anyone’s mind when I say that I’m married to a preacher. My husband, however, is not [...]

Spring is in the air…in my mind. I know the leaves are turning and storefronts are announcing back-to-school sales, but new ideas are in bloom in my head. Everyone, including myself, goes through seasons of feeling creatively anemic. Until recently I was unable to paint, draw, organize fabric, pull out my [...]

The best part of taking a vacation is sometimes the anticipation of its eminent arrival even more than the trip itself. The thought of being away from the everyday routine. The eager expectation of lazy afternoons sipping lemonade with no cell phone calls. The excitement of staying up late and indulging in [...]
, and am enjoying the opportunity to teach and disciple my children at home. When not busy with family, I love to paint, sew, garden, host teas, cook, play the piano, mentor younger ladies, and redecorate my girlfriends' homes.
