I make several references to that …

I chose Beautify as my word for 2020 for a few reasons. One, as a statement against the ugliness of the culture at this moment. Two, as a reminder of the real need I have for beauty in my life. Three, to spur me on to not just think about beauty, but to also use it as a measuring stick for how I choose to live each day, what I purchase, what I read …

I don't always choose a word for a new year, but as I was developing my goals for 2020 (which I'll be sharing another day), I started thinking about a word that encapsulated so much of what I was thinking about and planning for the year ahead. I settled on "Beautify" for 2020. This was not actually my first idea. The first word I seriously …

Last weekend my husband and I went shopping in a number of small local businesses in my parents' hometown. We enjoy going through unique shops because it feeds the artist soul in each of us. We don't have to purchase anything - it is enough just to look at the design, the fabrics, the packaging, etc. It really does refresh us! While we were …

This post, Practicality and the Death of Beauty, was one of the first blog posts I ever wrote on my original blog. I published it on February 16, 2005. I'm republishing it with a few light edits and updated formatting. We live in world driven by practicality. Everything must be efficient, easy to clean, and inexpensive. People want quick meals, …

Do you live and love the American cozy life? I do and I'll let you in on a secret. I think it's way better than the Danish hygge that everyone is talking about. I recently read a short anecdote written by an American man with an extensive English heritage. He expected to eventually move to England and make his home there because he felt so drawn …

Whether intentional or accidental, we all have an atmosphere in our home. Mine does. Yours does. Some homeschoolers put a lot of thought into their homeschool atmosphere. The concept has never even crossed the mind of others. The atmosphere will include a wide variety of things including: Faith & Values Food & Meals Learning …

When I became a home educator I desired to have a creative and beautiful environment. I wasn’t a teacher decorating bulletin boards any longer, but I did want to take the extra steps to make things aesthetically pleasing for my daughter. Like her father and mother, she is very much impacted by the aesthetics around her. Beauty is naturally in …

If I lived to be 100 and had endless freetime, there still would not be enough time to explore, research and do everything that I find interesting. There are too many books to read, instruments to play, places to visit, back roads to drive, and people to talk with. I find the world a fascinating place. That is why Anna's post about Homeschooling …

After you’ve walked with God for a while, you start to notice that He has unique ways of “speaking” to you as an individual. Obviously God speaks through His Word and no other way of “speaking” will contradict what is written there. But God makes each of us with unique personalities, interests, etc. and I do believe God works through those. God …
