With Copper working a crazy amount of overtime, and baseball practices ramping up in preparation for the start of the season, life in my house has become busier than normal.

February 28th, 2012 | Tags: goal setting, grand babies, looking well, quilting | Category: Uncategorized | 12 comments Today was a puttering kind of day. No big, exciting projects were undertaken.

Since today was a holiday, Will’s coach called a preseason practice for any of the kids who could make it out for the afternoon. I’m thankful for dedicated coaches who are focused on skill development and safety and who give up their own holidays to work with the kids. Good men.

February 18th, 2012 | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment I’ve always enjoyed Nancy Wilson’s writing. I’m a somewhat consistent reader of her blog, and I’ve also enjoyed several of her books, including Building Her House: Commonsensical Wisdom for Christian Women.

February 16th, 2012 | Tags: book review, books, reading | Category: Uncategorized | 8 comments I didn’t grow up knowing about gardening and growing food. My parents were both adults during The Great Depression, and my mom was raised as the daughter of a farmer who never owned his own land. The idea of having to garden, or grow your own food out of necessity, was something they never wanted [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

February 13th, 2012 | Tags: Copper's Day Off | Category: Uncategorized | 4 comments We’re ramping up for the start of baseball season.

Our weekday evenings will be busy with practices and games, but I want to preserve the family dinner hour as many nights a week as possible. To make that happen, it’s [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
