Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
Yesterday, we laid to rest the best dog on the planet.
A Christmas gift for Kaylee when she was 3-years-old, she has been a loving and faithful member of this family for almost exactly 11 years.
There will forever be a hole in our lives – a place where she fit perfectly.
Consequently, the blog is on timeout until Friday morning.
In the meantime, here is the first scene in chapter 1 of Emerald Heat. I’d love to know what you think about it.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Do you have a lot of leftover turkey?
I did a quick scroll through my “turkey tag” and found some great turkey ideas for you.
A friend of mine complained that she couldn’t ever find a recipe she was looking for on my site. I told her that the standard Wordpress search tool that you find on the right hand side of my blog pretty much sucks.
Wordpress has had a few major security updates lately. Gregg has always handled everything on the site end of this blog, but one of the updates happened while he was traveling home from Afghanistan. During his most recent (and final) trip home, it took him four days of traveling before he was finally here – and most of those days he had no internet connection.
So, when Wordpress updated, it stripped my Stat Counter code.
I am so thrilled that Hallee the Homemaker was nominated for the Circle of Moms Top 25 Home Management Blogs! Looking at the other blogs nominated, I am honored to be included in the lineup!
I’m working on re-doing my schedule in a major way. Gregg home full time and working a “regular” job, Kaylee in high school, Scott starting preschool, the end of our homeschool plans — it’s making me overhaul what I do and when. Since I’m in the process of that, I figure I might as well do the overhaul here that I planned to do in the future, too.
I’m a busy person. I tend to have several irons in the fire simultaneously. I’m great at multitasking and quite capable of juggling. However, I realize that if I want to homeschool the boys, I need to be able to stop everything around me, end the outside distractions, and just teach. This is my trial year. Scott just turned 5 and we are “Redshirting” him – so we’re going to work with a 4K program. If I can do it full time this year, then we know we’ll be able to continue doing it. If not, then we need look at our other options.
