"Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ

"Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument—it is Christ's blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to thy hand with which thou art grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to thy hope, but to Jesus, the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith. We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul" - Charles Spurgeon

"In this time of extraordinary pressure, education

"In this time of extraordinary pressure, educational and social, perhaps a mother's first duty to her children is to secure for them a quiet growing time, a full six years of passive receptive life, the waking part of it spent for the most part out in the fresh air." - Charlotte Mason (Vol. 1: Home Education)

Living room furniture at long last! 😅🥳 It’

Living room furniture at long last! 😅🥳 It’s been almost 3 years since we had our own (other than what was in our travel trailer).

I had no idea there was a couch shortage right now and this set was such an answer to prayer!

I had IKEA credit I had been planning to use, but they were sold out of the couch we wanted. So I began the hunt for another option.

We are working hard to keep this house free of mold spores and toxins, so that means we need as many things to be as washable as possible. That narrowed our options down to slip covered or leather-ish.

I looked for several weeks to no avail, and finally looked again a few weeks ago, prayed about it, and this lovely set came right up!

On sale, great price, faux leather, right color, and - best of all - non toxic foam, real wood frame and Made in USA!

We are going for an English cottage look, so I’m looking forward to adding in curtains, different pillows, and the pretty navy and white rug I have my eye on. 👀 It’s coming together bit by bit, and we are so thankful.

This foundational statement - and the first of her

This foundational statement - and the first of her list of insightful principles of education - is my very favorite part of Charlotte Mason’s beautiful, and Biblically rooted, view of children:

“Children are born persons.” - Charlotte Mason

“We believe that the first article of our P.N.E.U. educational creed—“children are born persons”—is of a revolutionary character; for what is a revolution but a complete reversal of attitude? And by the time, say, in another decade or two, that we have taken in this single idea, we shall find that we have turned round, reversed our attitude towards children not only in a few particulars, but completely. (CM, Parents’ Review 22:420)

I’ve been meaning to do an update on our family,

I’ve been meaning to do an update on our family, but life has been so topsy turvey I haven’t known quite where to begin. On top of that, when things get overwhelming, my introverted self retreats fully into hermit mode.

It’s hard to sum it all up, so this will be the extreme nutshell version! I hope to eventually share more little snippets here and there.

As a recap, three years ago at this time we were smack in the middle of moving out of our house, and doing a massive purge of our belongings, due to toxic mold. We were planning to demolish our house and to build a new one within the year.

However, life took some very unexpected twists and turns. At the end of June in 2018 we quickly finished up getting up moved out, and rushed to California as Steve’s dad had terminal cancer and wasn’t doing well. We ended up staying in California for over a year and a half, spending precious months with both sides of the family. We are so grateful for the time we had there!

We arrived home at the end of 2019, just a few months before the craziness of 2020 hit.

We had demolished our house in early 2019, and had been planning to rebuild as soon as we got back from CA, but then had to put building plans on hold indefinitely. In the meantime over the last year, our trailer also ended up with mold, and we were seeing serious health effects from that again.

So, we began what would become months and months of looking HARD for a rental. Let’s just say that finding a house without mold in TN, in the location we needed, that would allow a big family, during an insane housing boom with houses flying off the market as soon as they were listed, was not easy or particularly fun.😅
