Let go of some stuff What does that have to do with heart issues? Well, a lot! All that stuff which you are so blessed to possess actually affects you in a very deep way. You clean it and sort it and organize it and fret when it isn’t organized
When the washer breaks
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.
Decluttering is a sacrifice
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
Torah home management – decluttering
I live in the year 2012. I have 1700 sq ft in the main part of my home. I have a basement and a garage. I have outbuildings. I have succeeded in filling them up with stuff. It’s my fault. I didn’t throw away the pens that didn’t work. They
Our schoolroom
It’s a new year, and I decided it was about time to reclaim the office. It had become a dumping ground for everything that we didn’t want in the living room. And the living room has its own problems. I have a table in the living room where I keep
Torah home management – routine
I thought I had a great idea. Why not write about what Torah has to say about home management, and specifically routine? I already wrote some posts about Torah parenting, and even some books. Surely Torah has something to say about how we run our homes, too. Little did I
Stereotypes
I was recently accused of being stereotypical. I accept that “insult.” In our house, Daddy does certain jobs, and Mommy does certain jobs. Daddy defends the home, protects us, guides us, earns the paycheck to support us. Mommy does the majority of the cooking, cleans the house, and teaches the
Dinner!
This is our version of Yorkshire Pudding, but it has undergone some changes since it left the cookbook. We used to eat this alot when I was a kid, but we thought we would have to leave it behind because it’s made with pork. It was a happy day when
Bedroom cleaning
Okay, nesting is big at my house right now. So, I take on jobs twenty minutes at a time, and then rest because I’m out of breath lol. Doug has been so helpful lately. Every Sunday we took on a bedroom. We pulled everything out, thoroughly cleaned the floor, moved
New Skirt
I made another skirt last night! I salvaged this fabric from a half made jumper I had started years ago. The bodice was too small, so I turned the bottom half into a drawstring skirt. It took about 30 minutes to put together since it was already cut out. It’s
I dye daily
That used to be a very true statement. I used to have a knitting and dying online business. I had yarn in the dyepot almost everyday. Those days came to an end when I started homeschooling. I knew I couldn’t do both. But I was recently asked to dye some
Some helpful links
I would like to share some websites and resources that you might find helpful. I know they are currently very helpful to me. First, I’d like to bring your attention to the website Spinning Babies. It explains the importance of baby positioning to help have an easier delivery. It gives
Life in my brain
Yeah, I know, this post sounds kind of scary lol. But I thought I’d take a few minutes and share some of my hopes, dreams, and failures of late. ~ I am working very hard on setting up long term food storage in our home. Doug put up three shelves
My new game
My mind has been going a bit deep lately. I’ve been completely engulfed in trying to learn who YHVH is and how to trust Him for everything. He is slowly showing Himself to me and He is ever faithful. But I still live on this planet, and I thought I’d
