Homeschooling: A Green Solution?
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Another Earth Day has come and gone, and lately I’ve been thinking…
…about the recent ruling in California against homeschooling families. Here in Southern California the state “religion” seems to be recycling, conservation and environmentalism. I’m all for recycling. I’m all for taking care of the earth God entrusted to us. My husband and I do [...]
Walking the Walk
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008If you have children, or even if you know any children, then you know the importance of being a good example. From eating right, to speaking politely, it’s all going to be mimicked whether we like it or not. I’ve heard that it’s usually our bad habits that our children will pick up. The old adage [...]
When Memory Lane Meets the Fast Lane
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Sometimes I feel sorry for my kids. They aren’t growing up in the same world I did. They aren’t living the childhood I enjoyed so much. I wish that for them.

Simplicity
Thursday, January 10th, 2008It seems like lately that the Lord has been speaking to me about simplicity. It is amazing how much I have allowed things to distract me from doing things that need to be done. That being said, I haven’t been here posting like I should and this is a place I know I am supposed [...]
Like…Like…Like…
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007What is it with the word “like?” What do I mean? I am sure everyone who reads this blog has heard the following or something VERY similar at some point…for me quite frequently!
Jane: “Like, what are you going to the game tonight?”
Kate: “No, like my parents grounded me.”
Jane: “That’s like so wrong!”
Kate: “I know! Like [...]
Truth Matters! HOW do we teach them that??
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007OK, so I thought this would be a good discussion topic…especially since I am and have been dealing with it as a Mom!
Telling the Truth v/s Lying to Stay out of Trouble
Let me share a little bit about how I feel about truth/lie. I grew up with a Mother who lied about everything. It cam [...]
Oh My _____ …
Monday, September 17th, 2007My daughter posed a intriguing question to me the other night. At first, I thought I knew the answer, but then I thought…hmmm….this is a thought provoking question…
She asked me if it was wrong to say. “Oh, my God; Geez; Gosh, Jesus, etc.” Before I could answer…and this is why I was stumped…she reminded me [...]
Time for the Lord.
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007Hey Mom’s,
The past few weeks I have been so busy with the kids, hubby, the house and everything else that is on my TO DO list that my quiet time, prayer time, or whatever you want to call the time you spend with Daddy, has waned. In fact I have been so busy with daily [...]
