Remembering Your Priorities {@Homemakers Challenge}
Last week, I posted over at Homemakers Challenge about how I manage to keep my priorities in the front of my mind… Photo by .reid. “Action expresses priorities.” ― Mahatma Gandhi It’s so easy to get so immersed in the details of life that you could forget to spend your time and energy on […] Read more…
Resources for Homemaking {2013 Priorities}
All month, I’ve been sharing the resources I’m using to keep my 2013 priorities in the forefront of my mind. This is the last area I have to cover — things to improve in my role as provider. In other words, home management. Financial Real Food on a Real Budget — I bought the physical […] Read more…
Helping Hands at Home {Gabby Mom Review}
I tell you I am so excited that my oldest is getting to the point where she is able to be REALLY helpful. She is cleaning her own messes and I can even get her to volunteer to mop the bathrooms once or twice a month (which is more than I get to it!). […] Read more…
Cheaper. Faster. Better. {Book Review}
One of my goals this year was to be more mindful of my spending. I love living debt-free, but with another baby on the way and having some things we would like to do (like refinance the house & pay it off in 10 years), well, some of the slop needs to go. My kids […] Read more…

How to Homeschool Through Extended Illness {Blog Cruise}
One of the benefits of homeschooling is the flexibility it allows. A few months ago, I was completely under the weather with morning sickness. While “official” school, how *I* picture it, didn’t happen for about two months, there are still plenty of ways to squeeze in “school.” Great Books First, have a great collection […] Read more…
33 Days to Morning Glory {Book Review}
So if you’ve been around awhile and been paying attention to the Catholic stuff, you may or may not have noticed that I’ve tried to consecrate myself to [Jesus through] Mary several times and I’ve never actually completed it. Until last month, that is. I’m pretty sure that I have gone through the normal prayers […] Read more…
