Welcome

I am a young lady married to my true love and living in northeast Washington. I love being a mommy to four small humans. I enjoy creating and designing; a watercolor painting, a healthy bar of soap, a delicious meal, a toy for my little one. I love to read and you will find me reading anything from fiction to Read More…

Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.

This poem seemed fitting this morning... Grey is November,
cold as cold.
Stormy November,
wind and rain.
No snow.
No ice.
No glittering sun.
Grey is November,
except
by the bright fire
with a story,
a cushion for the cat,
the dark shut outside
and the light in the flames
where mysteries lie
and we dream.
-November, by Elsa Beskow

I love sharing beautiful and sweet pictures here on Instagram, but I don't want you all to get the idea that somehow I have a picture perfect life or have it all together. This first photo shows the coffee cake my girl and I made for breakfast(with the help of her dolls, of course!). The second photo shows everything else in the background, dirty dishes stacked up and filled water bottles cluttering the counter, because our water was off all day yesterday, then we went to Awanas. Each child has one day a week to be my helper. That was supposed to prevent arguements, but there was still arguing. My life is messy and real just like yours, but do you know what? It is beautiful. It is a gift God gave to me-the joy of getting to live with and love these children. That is why I snap little glimpses of beauty in the chaos. For my own heart and my own perspective, I need the reminder. I pray you will be encouraged to stop and see the beauty and joy in your own life, too!

Table isn't cleared from breakfast yet, school isn't started, an explosion of winter clothing happened in the laundry room. But it is snowing outside this morning... and playing in the first snow is more important.

I have been a bit behind on my phenology wheels since August, but I just keep working on them little by little and making small progress.
