I’m a guest poster!
Things have been pretty exciting here lately, and not just in my sister’s life. I haven’t had a chance this week to share that I will be guest posting at another homeschool blog next week. I’m super excited to be sharing about science at www.classichousewife.com next Wednesday. Amber is taking part in the two week […]
Happy Day
To bring you all up to speed, Ian was born yesterday morning. We were anticipating either dwarfism or downs syndrome. But no one anticipated he would be born with cleft palate and pierre robin (shortened jaw). He is unable to eat as a result. So he was flown by helicopter last night to a big […]
Happy Pesach!
Yes, I know! I’ve been a bit quiet lately. But I wanted to take a minute and wish all of you a blessed Pesach and Feast of Unleavened Bread. I must admit that preparations are largely to blame for my absence. This is the first year that we have hosted Pesach on purpose. (Last year, […]
Team Cooper
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 can be done alone, but […]
Gluten free chocolate cake
It is a place I didn’t anticipate traveling to, but here we are. With the knowledge we have now, we have decided to move towards gluten free. I love baked goods, so I have been doing a lot of experimenting. The caved in muffins were a huge disappointment, but we are “rising” above it. Here […]

Have you judged someone today?
Edited to add: Please read to the end for the rest of the story. YHVH is indeed faithful. 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 […]
At our house
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 tractor to tow his truck […]
The prophecy game
Prophecy can be a fascinating topic of discussion. My husband often reads news articles and ponders how they could relate to prophecy. We believe YHVH has led us to prepare our family in certain ways for the days ahead. But you may have noticed that Torah Family Living has a definite lack of anything prophecy […]
