Where Is God In This Mess?
I have a confession to make. As you probably know, I’ve been really struggling with depression. I’ve been out-of-control irritable and angry. I haven’t had patience with my kids. I haven’t shown my kiddos a lot of grace lately. I have been allowing myself to “shut down” mentally & emotionally and thereby spending waaaaaay to [...]
In Honor of Star Wars Day….
May the 4th (May the Force….be with you) is Star Wars Day! In honor of that, I want to link to my old Star Wars posts here – First off, I have a Printable Star Wars Word Search that I made (I definitely have to make some more of these….!). Also, we had a super [...]

Finding Joy In Depression {ebook & a giveaway for you}
Hey friends, If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you’ll know that I’ve written a couple of posts about depression. I’ll be honest with you. I’m in it deep right now. Between the depression and my thyroid not doing its job (and, of course, the two are connected), I have NO energy. [...]
How to Clean When You’re Depressed
I’ve heard that trying to keep the house clean with young kiddos is like trying to shovel the driveway in the middle of a blizzard. It’s the truth. Some people manage to keep their houses in a state that can accept visitors with only 10 minutes notice…..just please don’t try doing that here. My piles [...]
Strong-Willed Child
How DO You Teach the Strong-Willed Child???
I’m going to put something out there that I may regret saying later. Sometimes I think something is seriously wrong with this child. I’ve researched autism (not it), and Sensory Processing Disorder (very possibly playing into the hardness)…..and a host of other things. We limit sugar, and I try to avoid red & yellow dyes. [...]
Help Needed – Ineffective Discipline
I am so tired of feeling ineffective. I feel like we’ve tried it all, and it is NOT working. With the little one (who is not nearly as strong-willed as the big), it works most of the time. But for the big one, it DOESN’T. We’ve tried 3-2-1 Magic (which sorta’ kinda’ works), and a [...]
7 Reasons Why I’m Lucky to Have a Strong-Willed Child
I’ve been thinking for some time now that I needed to blog about raising a strong-willed child. Most days it is just plain HARD. I feel such a connection with other moms that experience a similar level of intensity with their children! I got something of an affirmation today reading this post on The Better [...]
When Other Homeschoolers Do It Better Than You
One of the things that I love about the internet is all of the great ideas you can find from other homeschooling parents and even public school teachers. There are a TON of great blogs out there that have bucket-loads of ideas for you to choose from. The downside to having all of this information [...]
Monsters in My House {aka Strong-Willed Mornings}
The morning starts out somewhat quietly and with smiles if we’re lucky. But the downhill spiral is a tricky thing and will sneak up on you when you least suspect it. This morning it began with the 2-year-old entering the 6-year-old’s room. Yup, that’s all it took. The 6-year-old and Daddy were having some quiet [...]

Easy-Peasy Scrambled Eggs & Help for the Domestically Challenged
My kiddos love scrambled eggs in the morning, and I love that they love them. I don’t love the stuck-on egg film on the bottom of my (non-stick – go figure!) pans. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t really love standing over the pan while it cooks. My sweet friend, Erin, told me about [...]
My Word for 2012
When I started seeing people posting their word for the year, my first thought was ……Psshtt. I’m not doing that. I mean, it was fine for them….but I wouldn’t even know where to begin to look for one. Besides, all of the good words were probably taken ~ as if we were limited to one [...]
Do You Know How to Get to Heaven?
I know that some of you already knows the answer to this (for which I am very glad!), but it occurs to me that others of you might not know, so I’m going to lay it out for you. I’m feeling an urgency to spread this good news….because we never know when it might be [...]
World’s Easiest Fudge Recipe
