Day Book

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book.
I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them.

Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016

Picture for the week........



                                               The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday--
( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  )


Outside my window.....

Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy


I am thinking.....

About starting in with some school for the kids next week.
About dipping our feet in with some potty training.
About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant.


 I am thankful for.....

My husband, my steady steady rock


 I am reading.....

Fervent by Priscilla Shirer


Out of the Kitchen.....

Keeping it simple, nothing great right now....and my 14 year old is my resident chef for most meals, which is very nice.  


To be Fit and Healthy & Happy

Right now....  sleep--  getting enough sleep is one of my main goals
Next, I need to continue to really limit stress of ANY kind.... as my adrenals needing recovering


Listening to....

Pandora  -  Laura Story and Kari Jobe


Towards a Real Education.....

Starting off next week on some "summer school" but with the thought-- if we need to break and do some summer fun-- that is okay too.    We will be adding in  Bible, Math, Science and 1 hour of Reading (their choice).   More details on this later


 Around the Hobby Farm.....

Well one thing that is pretty new is, I have a "resident Farmer in Training".   :)   My 15 year old son--  it seems his future will be in some field of agriculture.   So he really does a LOT of the work out on the homestead.   I will do a re-cap on what we have and why  in a upcoming post.  WITH PICTURES!


I am Praying......

I am praying for Spiritual Growth for me and my entire family.
That we would be grounded in the Word and listening for the Holy Spirit's leading.

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...
