Simple Living This Week

You’re serving someone and you are teaching your children to serve someone.

Today is Good Friday and I wish you many blessings as we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this weekend. Our Easter plans are quiet ones, but that tends to be the way we celebrate most holidays so that is nothing out of the ordinary for us. I’ve …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was quiet and full. I don’t think the three of us could ever run out of things to do. Run out of energy? Yes. But run out of ideas? No. We enjoyed games of Spot It! and Trivial Pursuit Family Edition. I still have my …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a restful Lord’s Day. We’ve been piling up the snow the past several days. It finally looks like deep winter here which is a welcome change. We’ll be experiencing the arctic blast with many of you this week so the view outside my window will remain white for quite …

Happy last week of January! We’re receiving some lovely snow today. We are still very far behind our yearly average. It will be interesting to see if this is simply an anomaly or if the snow starts to pile up in February and March to make up for lost time. Yesterday we celebrated our 24th …

Happy Monday! It’s a lovely winter morning with small flakes floating down outside my office window. We received a thick dusting of snow over what was on the ground so everything looks fresh and nice. We’ve hardly had any snow this winter. If we are going to reach anything close to an average seasonal snowfall, …

Happy New Year! I hope your 2021 is off to a lovely start. We still have all of our Christmas decorations up. For some reason I am in no hurry to put them away this year. I love all the cozy lights and am content to keep enjoying them. Maybe we’ll take them down this …

Happy Week Between Christmas and New Year’s Day! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. Ours ended up being very nice. We got some snow! Not a lot, but enough to make everything white and to have lazy flakes floating down off and on during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We took a drive on …

Our little family is hoping to enjoy a boring week. Monday was boring and normal. Yay for normal and boring! Well, as normal and boring as life can be in the midst of Christmas and history defining events in your country and the world. But we did school, did work, and did normal stuff. That’s …

Happy December! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. We still have not had our meal. Caroline is slowly picking up steam, but she has had one of those two week colds that doesn’t want to go completely away and has been dragging her down. I think she’s finally turned the corner and seems …

Happy Thanksgiving Week! I hope you have many blessings for which to be thankful this year. Ours will be a quiet week at home. Caroline came down with a sore throat and fatigue thing over the weekend. She was definitely on the up-swing last night when she went to bed and I’m thankful for that. …

Happy Monday! I hope you are ready to make it a good week. I’m choosing to push forward in the midst of these uncertain times and try to make the most of each day. There are a couple of big things happening this week that I can’t write about in detail here because they involve …

Happy Monday! I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks. I tried to sit down and write a few times, but my head was in other places. Yesterday I realized I’m ready to get back in the saddle again of posting and creating about all things home, faith, and homeschool. But before I get to …
