Practical niddah

Practical niddah

February 21, 2016 by Heidi 13 Comments

UPDATED! I wrote the bottom portion of this post on niddah back in 2012. Since then, my husband and I have grown in our understanding of niddah, and I want to show you what we have learned. But, I don’t want to delete those original thoughts because they were part

Our India box

October 31, 2012 by Heidi 2 Comments

We had a delightful time this afternoon making an “India” box. We will put our change in it, and then send the money to GCGM orphanage in India.     We started with a box from dishwasher detergent packs. Then the kids drew pictures of things that make them think

I know my blog is mostly about Torah Family Living, but asperger’s syndrome has become an integral part of our lives, and I know the same is true for many of you. We have been working with this whole asperger thing for about a year now, and have found some

When niddah comes to call part 2

September 3, 2012 by Heidi 2 Comments

I’m lying in a strange bed watching a romantic movie by myself crying my eyes out. Yes, niddah has come to call again. I want to feel my husband’s embrace. I want to sleep in the same bed. But I must choose. Will I choose to fulfill my physical desires?

When the washer breaks

When the washer breaks

September 2, 2012 by Heidi 2 Comments

My dryer broke awhile back, and I was without a dryer for several months. I got very good at drying my clothes even on rainy or winter days. I sometimes use my dryer, but I am very thankful for the skills and setup needed to dry my clothes without electricity.

When niddah comes to call

August 19, 2012 by Heidi Leave a Comment

              When my husband and I were engaged, we did not touch and we were never alone. The slightest brush, a tap of the foot under the table, were cherished and remembered with delight. In the absence of physical contact, we learned to communicate.

Lacto fermented heaven

Lacto fermented heaven

July 13, 2012 by Heidi 2 Comments

Okay, I’m not a complete foreigner to lacto fermented food. I’ve made the occasional jar of lacto fermented pickles with a recipe from Nourishing Traditions. This is a great cookbook. But, to be frank, I find many of those recipes a bit unrealistic for a modern family of kids who

Am I mom enough?

Am I mom enough?

May 22, 2012 by Heidi 3 Comments

This question has been popping up all over the internet as people respond to the recent TIME article about attachment parenting. I can’t help but evaluate myself with the same question. So, am I mom enough? Yes. Is it because I breastfeed my babies?  No. Is it because I homeschool

Emotions, who needs ’em?

Emotions, who needs ’em?

April 26, 2012 by Heidi 4 Comments

As much as I would sometimes like them to disappear entirely, emotions are a very real part of our lives. We feel angry, sad, elated, silly, anxious, relieved, the list goes on. Why do we have emotions? Why do we feel guilty for having them? What does Torah say? I

March 25, 2012 by Heidi Leave a Comment

I love seeing my family work as a team. In Torah, the most important unit is the family. We must work together effectively as a strong family. So we look for every opportunity to practice. This evening, I needed to bring the flock back in from the front pasture. This

Have you judged someone today?

Have you judged someone today?

March 13, 2012 by Heidi 4 Comments

It could be like coffee for some people, the need to judge other people’s motives and actions. It’s an important job really! We need to determine in our hearts what is wrong with other people, so we can tell them how to improve. Without us, there would be no hope

When you hear a redwinged blackbird sing, you know everything will be okay. This was our front yard only a few days ago. Everything was white and getting to the barn involved a knee deep trek. Doug had some difficulties in the wonderful world of aviation, and we used the

I just put 5 more trash bags in Doug’s truck, all full of clothes to donate. We went through the boy’s room this morning. Right after breakfast, I began by pulling all the clothes out into the living room. We sorted it into piles and then Isaac began helping me

January 19, 2012 by Heidi 6 Comments

How about a little peek into my house of late? Life is good! YHVH is faithful! I have been thinking much lately about living on purpose. We are to bear our Creator’s image, which is often hard to do if we are surrounded by stuff. For several weeks, I have

I’ve made myself a cup of tea as I wait for the woodstove to get burning good again. I don’t want the house to get cold during the night. Next to me Sadie is finally sleeping. She came down with the flu today. At first I thought she was just

How to rejoice when the car gets fixed

September 27, 2011 by Heidi 2 Comments

I thought everyone would like to know that my van is fixed! I now have power steering again. The really exciting part is that I fixed it myself. I am not in the habit of fixing cars, or even checking fluid and changing tires. But I do hand over wrenches

How to rejoice when the car breaks down

September 19, 2011 by Heidi 4 Comments

When the unexpected happens, it is hard to rejoice. It is hard to be happy when you pull into a parking lot and discover that you have no steering. That is what happened to me today. But, Praise Yah, He helped me to rejoice in the middle of it. This

An incredible day

May 14, 2011 by Heidi 1 Comment

I would love to do another post on previous birth experiences, so you would completely understand how incredible this birth was. But I like to keep my blog a relatively positive place, so I’ll keep it brief. I have had many false alarms, lasting days at a time, 2 c-sections,
